Verbal wouldnt go very far in court though as no one would be able to prove what was said or not said.

Sounds like as he is a newbie that he is ragging it from cold and possibly cold seizing it, quite common on those 125's.

Re: Selling/ Buying Problems.
 

Possibly, depends on who heard what - which is why I said:

Re: Selling/ Buying Problems.
 

He's bought a used RS125 and has only found one thing wrong with it? I'd be delighted. :p

To the OP, taking your post at face value, you've nothing to worry about. Be polite but firm if he calls back.

Re: Selling/ Buying Problems.
 

What someone heard vs signing something that says sold as seen?

Re: Selling/ Buying Problems.
 

When buying a bike I usually consider that if its a road bike your gonna have to spend £100 in consumables to take the worry away that things have been done right, on an off road bike its more like £200

Re: Selling/ Buying Problems.
 

You will have had a few bikes & experience, the guy buying the bike has only done his CBT. He's expecting garage service from a private sale & seems to be relying on several different mates advice. Too late for him to be concerned, deal has been done.

Re: Selling/ Buying Problems.
 

This is why garage sales cost more, yeah they want more profit, but they also have to cover the costs when some one brings it back for work to be done. To the OP, you have played it by the book, follow the general advice already given if he keeps coming back.

Re: Selling/ Buying Problems.
 

Yea, as Chris has said, When I delivered the bike I 'Asked' him to sign the paperwork stating, Sold as seen, Date & Bike. So him signing the paper work is pretty much the deal to take all responsibility away from me.

I've spoke to my boss about this situation and he's said, that if it were to keep cuting out in 3rd it would be 2 problems, Electrical or fuel,

-If it were electrical it wouldn't get to 3rd atall.
-If it were fuel he wouldn't be able to climb the rev range to get to 3rd.

We've came to a conclusion that he's in too higher gear and not enough rev's, because now most people take there CBT on a 4T sit up, when getting on a 2T sport bike that screams it's boobs off, he's affraid to climb the revs and thinks it will be fine to change at the wrong rev's.

Next time he calls I'll do as Tam & others have said above, Polite but firm. baddies hate being treated nicely :)

Re: Selling/ Buying Problems.
 

Lol, baddies. Like it. Now I know how to deal with Texas Pete when he next crosses my path :)

If it were me, i wouldn't get angry. Let him be the angry person, just stay calm but confident. Don't let him see you get flustered otherwise he will have the better of you.

Bank the money (if you haven't already) tomorrow. Don't have it available upstairs, that way you cannot give in if he demands it.

Other than that, I would offer to test ride the bike, however before hand firmly telling him that the bike was sold as seen, to try and diagnose the problem. Perhaps ask him what garage he has taken the bike to, then ring them? I doubt he will have taken it anywhere.

Just appear to be helpful. If he persists, then tell him that e is harassing you and it will leave you no choice but to call the police.

Simples, in the meantime practise your jab with the left in the stomach and upper cut with the right on the chin!
