No riding for me for the next 3 to 5 days...
 

looks like im without my bike until friday or monday...

Took my bike in for the first service and they found my left front rotor is warped. so the part had to be ordered but it is covered under the warranty. so now im stuck driving my camaro till its fixed.

eh, just ride without. Trip did it. front brakes are overrated.

3 - 5 days isn't bad... many dealers are 5 days before they'll even look at a bike...

Truth, my buell dealership was late fri before they could get anyone in... and that was yesterday morning.

That is fine if they let you put your name in the hat without the bike there... many say... drop it off, get in line... we'll call you when we get to it.

it's called making an appointment.
If I set something up for friday at noon, I expect the bike to be in the shop with a tech looking at it NLT 12:30, and I know I should show up 10 min early for said apointment.

If i just walk in and need something, then yeah, if they can fit me in, great, if they can't... not their fault.

Speaking of which I need to get mine up there for its first Service to...Thats weird for a New Bike though Buddy...At least you caught it now...I'm guessing thats what caused your brake issues?

thats what they say... oh well, at least it will be fixed. Im just pissed because im gonna miss riding it to bike night

Odd...Work Owns me so No bike Night for me.

Did you ride it up there or put it in the truck?

thats balls dude

3 to 5 days.. your bitchin about 3 to 5 days... I havent ridden in 5 weeks..

this is why everyone needs a "beater" bike

Once I get the knee healed, I am going to buy me spare bike

I rod it up there... P.S. let be borrow ur keys for your bike 4 bike night... lol j/k

WTF?! It's a brake rotor- simple shit. If it wasn't under warranty, I'd say fuck the shop. That whole time better be waiting for the part to show up, since the job won't even take an hour.

I get on the spot service at my dealer. No bullshit. Of course I haven't needed any major service on any of my bikes.

well its not the service, its waiting for the friggen parts! Thanks to my dealer, he ordered as soon as he found the problem so i should have it back by friday!

Couldn't you still ride it until the part came in? :idk: Was it warped that bad?

they told me it was a liability risk... i tried to hard because i wanted to ride it to our hooters bike night.

What kinda brake issue were you having?

Liability? You're an adult...if you wanna ride your bike you can do it. Take that fucker back.

The Brake felt "Spongy" Right after he got it...But it would be intermittent and not all the time.

The 3-5 dyas is proly how long it takes for shipping, installing front rotors is pretty easy.

In todays world every one has to cover their own ass. Imagine if he took it then posted after he got into an accident. You same ppl tellin him to take it back would be tellin him to take the dealership for every last penny. They can't determine there is a brake problem then say here ride with shitty front brakes.

Better safe then sorry! hey on the brightside at least you dont have to wait a month to get your bike... My hubby has an aprilia and has to wait for a new motor to come from Italy.

FUCK... what the hell happened?
