2003 Yamaha Road Star complaints

RECALL - THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX MY BIKE, AND YAMAHA IS NOT DOING ENOUGH IN MY OPINION. I WOULD BE MORE SATISFIED IF THEY COULD SIMPLY GIVE ME A DATE WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE TO MY DEALER. INSTEAD I GET THE FOLLOWING RESPONSE "WE ARE NOT SURE WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE, BUT THEY SHOULD ALL BE OUT BY THE END OF APRIL. BUT THAT IS NOT A HARD DATE, SO PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THAT AS A HARD DATE" WHAT THE HECK DOES THAT MEAN. AND THEY ALSO REFUSE TO GIVE ANY COMPENSATION FOR LOSS OF USE. I AM STILL REQUIRED TO PAY MY NOTE, INSURANCE, AND MY WARRANTY IS TICKING AWAY. AND I WAS TOLD MY YAMAHA THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO COMPENSATE ANY OF THEIR OWNER. THIS IS THE WORST PRODUCT CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS. *JB
