Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

While I don't agree with all of us review bombing them, I don't see any issue with you leaving an honest review about what happened after you get all your money back from them.

At the very least, its a warning to future customers about how their transaction may go, and if it saves even one person a hassle like what you went through, or it gets them to adjust/correct their business model, then it's worth it.

but ultimately up to you.

I will say, in my opinion, if you just walk away from it with your money and that's that, the dealer won out significantly in this situation over you. My pride wouldn't let that sit lol.

 

i agree with you on that im just not one to do such things i never have haha. i know i can put one as anonymous so nobody knows buuut my issues was pretty specific soo kinda hard to hide it lol.

 

Yes. Approved!

@Calamity_taco

TLDR of what happened? (Been a bit absent here been busy busy at work)

 

idk if you saw the first leg. but initial title was never transferred properly...dealer tried to remedy it and got him a new title, where he noticed the sale date was incorrect. went back to get it rectified and see about compensation for all the hassle, they weren't willing to do more than the $100 store gift card they gave him for the first issue, so now they're buying the bike back and paying him out for the bolt trade in and he's gonna find a new bike from a diff dealer

 

Coming out clean is good enough, you know they're not going to cave without additional headaches and chaos.

 

And they messed it up again after the incorrect sale date

 

oh whoops i must have condensed the 2 subsequent fuckups lol

wild stuff

 

Cheap and cheesy c & fb lever replacements. Will get them on when I can.

 

Sort never a new title they sent the old one out to be correct but they messed up again.

Almost all of it but there was a fuck up before he signage was wrong. They messed up on the title and scribbled on it. Then all this other shit I've been back and forth to the DMV 3-4 times now the title has so many fixes that is no longer usable according to our department of motor vehicle. So they would have to apply for a new title which would take months....


Oh plus I found the lien release for the bike..which btw needs two signatures on it... The owner and the company that bought it... Soo ya that's also a factor... This entire thing was fucked from the start..

 

Debated these but was put off by the comments of sloppiness and opted for Zeta's instead. They were also a bit sloppy due to slightly reduced thickness when mounted in between the clamps. Ended up getting some delrin washers and grinding them down to something like .7mm and using those, slop gone and look decent. Pay attention to the clutch switch, I didn't and snapped off the end pin - $30 for a new one.

 

Rite rite. Thanks for the info. Zeta, totally slipped my mind when looking around. I’ll give these a shot and see what happens.

 

I bought this same brand off Amazon for my R3 when I was first rebuilding it. Figured it would hold me over until i got some quality, known-brand levers like ASV.

They ended up staying on longer than I planned, up until my lowside at Buttonwillow last November. The brake side ended up getting dragged, which bent the lever a bit, but it held up well and was still operable, and I ended up replacing it with the same part. No complaints on em, no issues with fitment or sloppiness in my experience

 

More good info..

I’m that guy that WILL have problems no matter what it is.

 

we all have our struggles. Me personally, I tend to strip out allen heads when loosening and phillip heads when tightening bolts. Dremel and a flathead are my best friend in the garage.

 

The kid who might buy my bike is going and riding a DR400Z whatever the new one is tonight. Fingers crossed he hates it I can't imagine buying that bike anyway, so overpriced.

 

At 9K, there's so many better bikes in my opinion anyway I loved my DRZ...but not at that price

 

Right.

Nothing ever goes smooth for me. and like a guy I work with says, my struggles are real.

 

For sure wasn't looking online to see where one was to test drive one

 

701 is better in every form than the drz.

 

Don't doubt it I was just wondering since I had one if it really is an improvement like they state oooor if they be sipping that coolaide.
