need help and comments
Long story, I'll try and keep this short.
Got my bike 2 months ago, and was told it was in great condition not crashed, and I believed the dealer. It was on about 9500 miles. It's now on 12500 so I had it serviced today. (I'm not going to name any company names here btw)
When I got there I gave them the service record book thing and we noticed that there was no registration date and that the suzuki sticker had the bike as being black. Thought this was strange so asked them to get this checked out.
When I got back to pick up my bike I was in for a small shock. Yes the bike was originally black. Doesn't sound good to me. The person that did the service said that there were a few things wrong. From minor things like the front indicators being upside down, to the wrong bolts being used on all the fairing, those black popper things missing, left pillion foot peg being slightly ground down, undertray slightly damaged, paint coming off the rear (above the rear light) and it being black underneath, the rear (don't know if this is just the undertray or the subframe) being slightly off center, slight damage to the top of the forks, and scratches to the frame under the fairing.
All these things are quite minor, but they had to adjust plenty of other things. Balance injectors, adjust throttle position sensor, and clutch adjustment at both ends.
The servicer said that the bike might have been in the condition of a cat c or d write off.
Now the bike has been hpi checked, but this is only if the bike was done on insurance ater damage isn't it? So won't show everything.
I have rung the original dealer and he has claimed innocence, but has said he will try his best to satisfy me. He has no bikes I would want instead, so where do I stand?
Could I get all my money back from them? how far can I go? Should I just let it lie?
Sorry it's so long but I'm not overly sure what to do.
Thanks for reading.
