There is a misunderstanding somewhere. You paid for the unit so it is now yours. Only way to lose it is if you financed it and failed to make payments. Might get a visit from the repo person. If it was to get stolen and you have no insurance. If you have lots of money and no job, and become a person of suspicion (like a drug dealer) it could be seized as part of a money laundering charge. I'm sure there are some other possibilities I missed. The simple fact that people would think twice before buying a Yamaha if this happened to even one customer, and Yamaha is in the business of selling.



The only thing that comes to mind is Yamaha might void your warranty. That is highly unlikely, and I have never heard of this happening for answering a maintenance question wrong.



What looks like should happen is your dealer receive low marks on their CSI score. Customer Satisfaction Index, which measures how each dealer satisfies their customers needs. You will get and email or letter in the mail, welcoming you to the Yamaha family, thanking you for your purchase. Then a multiple choice questionaire asking how you were treated, was the dealership clean, were the employees friendly, etc. When you get to the question "Did your salesperson go over your paperwork, owners manual, operation of vehicle"? you give them a "0". Unless you were so happy about getting your new ATV you ignored them or paid no attention. At some point they also should have taken you to the service department and introduced you to the service writers. This is where a good writer will try and schedule your first service.

Did you buy a Pre Paid Maintenance package (PPM)? Look on your paperwork if you do not know. If you did buy PPM, you only need to know the period (mileage, hours, months) when you should bring it in and have the factory service done by the selling dealer.

If you didn't buy PPM, then open up your owners manual and look in index for maintenance schedule. You will see when Yamaha recommends you need to clean your air filter, check or change oil %26amp; filter, inspect brakes, etc. The following pages expalin how to do all that is necessay with some nice pictures too. If your going to do this yourself or have a mechanic friend do it, I recommend you fill out in the back of the manual the area for documenting the services. Save your reciepts and keep it all together in one spot. If for some reason you have a failure and you want it covered by warranty, there could be a chance of denial if you cant prove the maintenace was performed. Lets say your just outside your warranty period and something happens. Yamaha would be more likely to cover it under "Goodwill" if you showed them maintenance was done to their recommendations.



I currently work at a motorcycle dealership, and years ago when I first started, it was in the service department as a service writer.



So go out and enjoy your new ATV, and always wear the right protective gear. Please.

You have no concerns, The Dealer Has no rite to take the machine back this is a bunch of BULL, however Maintenance is very Important, I would invest in a Repair Manual, It will be full or very Important Info, including any and All maintenance Schedules and recommended Fluid levels,

Grats on your Purchase and Be Safe, Got Helmet?
they dont care as long as they are making money on it.What are he basic things i have to do after buying a brand new yamaha atv.?
They can't take it away if you paid for it. If they do call all that they will ask is how you like the bike and how you were treated at your dealership. But, nonetheless, maintenance is still very important. Change the oil, look over everything before you go riding and make sure that everything looks good. Also, wear a helmet. I'm sure that you already have one, but I just like to remind people.
