So, while my dealer still does not know whether it is to be only a software installation, or a software and hardware module installation on the 2018 SVTC, it will need to be done at your dealer and most dealers he talked with, agree that it is pretty much pointing to a not only software rewrite, but the modules on the computer board that the software will control/speak to. He said that why did they not just go with Garmin, instead of looking for the cheapest way out? That's what he said he told them repeatedly, and that he was caught in the middle between a rock and a hard place taking complaints.and not being able to remedy them for almost three years. He told me, that he has repeatedly told them.that what was the current state of affairs with 2018 release year owners, his words to Yamaha( "is.total B.S.! They paid $32,000 dollars CDN, and you gave them a dime store software release. This can not be done at home, by the owner." I asked him if it were true that you have to book an appointment with your dealer.for this is not-owner installed, and he said: " Yep.that is necessary as we were told only that it was going to be a large overhaul, and might include RE and RE of system parts and modules, therefore requiring the owners to book into their dealers. Also there might be added after year launch additional features." He alluded to, but could not say directly. " Joe.very happy to report to you, and I'm sorry that I had not called you two weeks ago.we have been swamped.but that aside, with apologies The GPS has been totally reworked, and fixed.they say, (Yamaha I assume the 'they' is.) you folks will love the new GPS, and other concerns have been also addressed.

This will NOT be available as a download ISO file!!! Gar.that you have to go to your selling DEALER.highly suggests that it is not merely an ISO download, or that because of the total replacement, that the software is too huge, or.that it must be a dealer level install to guarantee that the owner will not, or was not responsible for BORKING his/her, her/his bike.with no way to return to running service, unless full module replacement. They are at that quality assurance and burn in stage.īut.he said, that YOU, AND ALL OTHER 2018 YAMAHA STAR VENTURE OWNERS ARE GOING TO NEED TO GO TO THE DEALER, FOR THIS UPDATE AND/OR MODIFICATION. The Yamaha Rep could NOT divulge to me, as he was not authorized by the factory (Yamaha Japan) to give out that information, as because it was in test mode, something could still be added, deleted, reworked, recalled, and/or additional module modifications, or not, could happen. I asked if it was software or hardware (modules.the modules behind the right fairing cover.) or both. Due to Covid 19 over the last two years, they have not had the in-house and Harmon-Kardon support they needed to finish the project, but are testing right now in their facilities in Japan. Here's the 'skinny'.they HAVE the solution in house. Well, Gar, I just got off the phone with both Yamaha Canada, AND, my selling dealer to 'double tap' the truth of following information:ġ.This is FRONT PAGE NEWS!- From Yamaha Canada (and I suppose in tandem with Yamaha U.S.A.).we are EITHER getting for all 2018 year SVTC owners, AT NO COST TO THE OWNER.a complete MAJOR system-level and (possibly hardware module) re-do of the 2018 model year Yamaha Star Venture T.C.
