first off, i am inclined to agree with whtbread. i don't have anything to hide either, but it is a "private message" or make it known that they can and will read them so theres no sneakyness going on..
as fas as their quality goes from a professional standpoint i think its crap. let me give you all some facts. i have worked on motorcycles and watercraft for almost 20 years. i went to mmi in orlando quite a few years ago, to prove that i was serious about making it a profession. since then i have really enjoyed working on watercraft even more so than bikes. i worked as a watercraft technician for several years at a very well known yamaha dealer that used to get sbt motors for customers who could'nt afford to replace there motors with oem for whatever reason.. we had too many comebacks on those motors and ate alot of time and money pulling them out and sending them back. so they have stopped using sbt.
now i have a friend that has his own watercraft repair shop, he swears by sbt motors and uses them often, with very little problems. occasionally, he'll get one or two with problems but all in all has had a good experience with them.
i had the opportunity to tour their plant and operations several years ago. i don't know if anthing has changed since then as far as staffing, but lets just say that the assemblers probably did'nt even know what quality control is much less how to say it..
ya know it just goes to show you get what you pay for, and people that think the dealer is outragously priced doesn't realize the quality that they are paying for. not to say that they could'nt be more competitive with there pricing..anyway just my 5 cents worth..
