I bought my FZ1 in 2002 from the Daly City shop, as well as my 2012 and 2014 Zeros. A couple of years before they closed for one year they said they sold more Zeros than they did Yamahas. Apparently that really pissed off Yamaha and they withdrew their franchise and then the lawyers got involved. Eventually, the lady who owned the multi-brand dealership just got fed up with the motorcycle retail business and the conflicting demands of the different brands and retired. She sold the building to the Dollar Store and that is what is there now. Her experienced Zero staff, including the lady that sold me both of my Zeros, Nancy, the office manager, Theresa, and their experienced Zero technician, then went to work for SF Moto, who are now the only Zero dealer north of San Jose. I bought my 2018 S from SF Moto and had my 600-mile break-in service performed there. I think their labor rates are around $180, too. But if you bought the bike from them I believe you get a 10% discount on the cost of servicing.
I don’t know if they’re too far north (and East) for you but Contra Costa Powersports in Concord is also a Zero dealer.
