What kind of motorcycle do I have? |
I am, admittedly, a novice motorcyclist. Based on recommendations from friends I went out and bought a new bike recently. To say I have had problems would be an understatement. I have been told, again by friends, that this is normal. Yesterday I took the bike back to the dealer to again try and have a problem repaired and had an interesting conversation with the service department. When I asked about what was causing the problem, he suggested that I needed more accessories for the bike and proceeded to try and sell me some leather bags. When I asked him how that was going to help me with my problem he said this: "Son, don't you know what kind of bike you own, these so called problems you are experiencing are just part of riding, relax, buy your self something new for the bike and don't let anyone convince you there is any thing wrong with the bike. So I ask you all out there in Cyberspace: "What kind of a bike do I own"? I too would guess it's a Harley. I think the salesman at the dealership is trying to get you to understand that Harley's (especially older ones) are prone to many idiosyncrasies. They like to call it "personality" or something similar, but I too, like you would call them defects. Just another reason why I never bought a Harley. Unfortunately, you may be fighting a losing battle. Most Harley guys have made careers coming up with excuses for their bikes shortcomings. It's just accepted that Harley's have "issues". One of my favorites is "Harley's don't leak, they leave their mark". Still, I'm curious as to what your problem(s) are. one that you might want to change dealerships with Cyber-Space hopes you well. It must have at least two air filled tires that touch the ground. You did not state what the problem is. But the leather bags and high pressure to accessorize IT MUST BE A HARLEY SPORTSTER. Those large cycle centers see you comming newbie. You must not have enough tatoos of flaming skulls harley wings and motor cycle chain grease on your pants yet. Nissan Master Technician Need I say anything. I'd guess a Harley too. What kind of problems are you having? Severe vibrations? shovel head |
