Yamaha Tech almost had me scrwed me today.
I took my bike there for servicing and the tech installed my brakes backwords, and had i not noticed, my brakes were going to be fucked up.
Good thing i noticed in time, and i fix it my own dam self.
Is there anything else i can do besides complain to the service manager ?

So he put the pad it backwards?
I'm assuming that's the front of the pad and the two circles are from the pistons right?

Yeah the idiot put it in backwards, can you believe that on the front brakes too people soly rely on those, i mean so did i all way home.
I came home and noticed horrible metal scratching noise comming fron the front. I opened it up and thats what i saw. I flipped it around like it should and now no more noise.

After realizing what the ******* idiot had done. I thought about riding it back there with it being fucked. But its like 30 minutes of riding and more abuse on the brakes.
The bike made scratching noises even when rolling forward. Thats how i found out, when i was pushing it in the garage with it turned off.

Re: (sshaikh01)
Seems like the next service is free for ya! 
My buddy's old Integra was serviced at a dealer for front brakes and while he was driving home, all the brakes fell off! HAhahahahahaAHAH I laughed my *** off. He intentionally crashed is front and got $30,000. Nice. I would scuff up the bike and helmet and **** and sue. **** it. It'll teach them.

Well one thing is for sure...you better go make it known whoever was working on your **** did a half *** job. Imagine you were telling us this story from a hospital. Those techs have to be on point 100% of the time, you got out with no damage really do everyone a favor and get **** done.

it was a joke, but I would not put it past someone to try and pull it off.. it would have been a worst case scenerio for the dealership. at the VERY least they should give all new front rotors AND pads
