Power Yamaha

I liked this place until I got completely rude customer service on a phone call I made. The guy did not want to help me because I wasn’t in there buying from him. All I was doing was research on part numbers and got a lot of attitude.

Great experience with Jeff at Power Yamaha. I got a great deal on an awesome Kawi 650. They have a lot of bikes to choose from. Service dept. (Shawn I think) is quick and helpful. Jeff in sales made it a fun day. Thanks all of you.

Power sells a few brands and this is a good dealer to purchase a new motorcycle from. First they allow and encourage test rides. That’s important and you should never buy a motorcycle without a test ride. Yes there are dealers who will not allow this. Secondly they don’t charge any dealership fees ie assembly and destination. Those are very common at other dealers and will save you hundreds of dollars. Lastly the sale prices are on par with other dealers so your not spending more on the purchase price. The process like any other dealer does take quite a bit of time. Also they don’t fill the bike up before delivery. But they do put two gallons of ethanol free gas in the bike before you leave. I have not had a chance to experience the service but I will update my review once I have my first service appointment done.

brought two jet skis i just bought here. One wasn’t running and they told me that it needed a new motor because they found metal shavings in the motor. So they recommended a motor swap at 4.5k. I went forwarded with it and both skis ran great at the shop but the Jet ski I had the new motor put in literally died on me in the middle of the Willamette river the first time i took it out. I took it in and they said they would look at it. They said they ran it up at the lake with no problem. So I took out on the lake this time and the jet ski did the same thing. By all this time had gone by the warranty on the motor had expired and I would have to by another motor. I would use another shop if you want any repair work done to your jet skis.

Just to give you a preview, we are from Vancouver, WA, and before finding Power, we went to Pro Caliber, where the service was absolutely disgusting, they would not give us a price before we applied for financing (not even knowing if we were going to finance of paying cash!!!) and when they finally did, the prices were $ 1000-​$ 1500 higher for the EXACT same thing. Then, we went to Bob Lanphere (Beaverton Motorcycles), we were there for about an hour, looking around, no one approached us. When we approached them, they either ignored us or had no idea about the prices, pretended to be on the phone, or talked to each other.
So finally, we took a 2 hour roadtrip to Submility, OR with our family and called in advance to verify stock. We were greeted when we came in, the sales associate knew who we were, we talked numbers, were given a great deal for a Kawasaki Jet Ski and a new trailer. We had to come back the next day for pick up, which there were a few bumps in the road from the financing department to the trailer lights not working, however, Matt Williams and his team took care of us, we were on our way just a couple hours later and we are completely satisfied. If you want the lowest price, on the exact same items as pro caliber and Beaverton Motor, Powers is definitely worth the drive. I would highly recommend them over the other competitors in a heart beat!

Updated review, I had a not great experience there buying a brand new bike, I don’t think much of the service department in correcting those issues with the new bike. In the end though they went above and beyond and I am now very happy with my brand new bike from them. Took awhile but I have the new bike that I purchased and am happy.

My husband, son and I went today looking at quads for all of us. We walked around outside sat on 5 – 6 of them to see what we liked. Went inside tried on multiple helmets chest plates looked at boots. We were there for at least a hour not one person came up to us and asked if we needed help. That store lost out on a huge sale today. As we were leaving there was one employee that asked if we would like a hot dog. Next weekend we will make a ride out to Beaverton Yamaha they have employees that actually want to help you and make some money

I recently purchased my first motorcycle from Power Yamaha. While it was an inexpensive bike, I was assured that all it needed was some cosmetic work. I asked the salesman several times if it was safe and was told over and over again that the bike was previously owned by a mechanic, who took care of it, and passed the safety inspection. I was able to drive the bike home about 60 miles without any problems. During my second ride on it, it stopped functioning after just a couple miles. After taking it to a very reputable mechanic and having him inspect it for less 30 minutes he discovered an «unknown» electrical problem, a miswired/​melted clutch, and the chain and sprocket not only needed to be replaced, but due to the condition, the bike was extremely unsafe to ride. I called the salesman and after going back and forth they were unwilling to work a deal out with me returning the bike, even with a partial refund.
They knowingly misrepresented the condition of the motorcycle, and I could have killed myself on the initial drive with the hazardous flaws. Had I known the bike needed work equivalent to the cost of the bike I would not have made the purchase. I am appalled that they were willing to sell me a bike that was unsafe to drive. I would not recommend this place to anyone especially if they take advantage of customers!

Was recommended to go to Power Yamaha by a friend and I’m glad I listened to him! I picked up a 2014 KLR650 from Andy and could not be happier with the whole experience from the first time I called in until I rode off the lot. Even if you live a couple hours away the drive is worth it for their great service and knowledge. While I was there I was also informed about an insurance company they use a lot and was amazed how much cheaper it was than my current insurance company. Will recommend any and all friends looking or a new or used bike to Power Yamaha in the future!!!

Do all you can to avoid buying something — especially if it’s used from these guys. They’re lazy, they lie, they mis-​represent used equipment — they don’t care if you waste hours driving to see stuff they out and out lie about. Then they tell you to go F yourself as if it’s all your fault for allowing yourself to be tricked by them. They love to respray shiny black paint over things and then tell you they’re in new condition. Anyhow, if you can avoid them you’re doing yourself a favor.

I would not purchase a used vehicle at Power Yamaha and here are the reasons why:
I am still waiting for a title in my name and its been about a month now. There has been two delays thus far. 1) Power Yamaha didn’t get the original owner to sign the title releasing ownership of the vehicle. I had to wait for original owner to come in and sign or mail in a release of interest. 2) When I did receive title, it still wasn’t signed releasing interest and the bill of sale included was not sufficient to get it titled in WA State. I should NOT have been sold a used vehicle that did not have all interest released in the first place.
I was told by salesman the trailer that came with the Yamaha was not a trade-​in and the owner had kept his trailer, and the Karavan trailer the Yamaha was on was new. I learned later that trailer was a trade-​in as it was mentioned in the paperwork at the corporate office. If I would have known it was a trade in, I would have requested it be included in the sale price. I sort of feel ripped off now by the deal I got. Especially since I had negotiated on a vessel that did not have any release of interest on it.
When I took the vehicle home, the security system did not function. After taking it to a dealership and replacing the battery, I finally got it to work. This should have been checked at the dealership. I have little confidence the unit was fully inspected.
There is oil present at the bottom of the ski currently. Not sure if this happened during the original service inspection but it was never cleaned up. I was told it would be cleaned upon pickup but that never happened.
I was sold an extended warranty on top of one that had already existed. I was pretty upset about this as well. I found out about this when I took it in to have the remote looked at. No one had told me it had a Yamaha YES warranty on it already, good until August.
The advertised hours for the unit on website was 60 hours, actual was closer to 66. This feels like false advertising.
Upon first run of unit, the RPMs don’t go over 7k and max speed is only around 50mph. I have to shutdown the engine and restart in order to get it to reach full speed (63 mph) and RPMs.
According to WA State Law, vessels must be registered within 15 days of purchase or face penalty. See here:
All of the above has taken up a lot of my time to address and has made this purchase experience very unfortunate as I am extremely unhappy about all of this. Also, I am facing penalties for late registration and this is not under my control. I expected buying from a well-​known dealership would have been a hassle free experience and make the title transfer much easier. Instead, I have to wait and wait until I can fully enjoy the ski under my name and registration.
Today after explaining to this over the phone with the Sales Manager, all I get is arrogance, no apology, and being hung up on. This has been the worst purchase experience ever and I have bought many vehicles both privately and through dealerships.

I purchased a new motorcycle from this business. One week after I brought home the bike, I receive a recall that had been in effect for over 3 months. After waiting a month for Power Yamaha to get back to me, they finally did and ran me around in a circle and offered me nothing for my trouble. I will not due business with them again, and I encourage you not to as well.
They are not careful with their sales. When you assemble a bike, you have to go through a checklist by law. One check is for «current recall orders». They missed that check… so what other safety checks did they miss? This is irresponsible and dangerous.
