The dealer has broken my bike - SV650.org

31-03-09, 10:55 PM

Sent my bike to the dealers to have a set of heated grips fitted. Got it back yesterday and when I used them for the first time they blew the main fuse under the seat.

Back to the dealer I went with the bike and after two hours they diagnosed the switch was faulty. This in turn has resulted in a burnt out wire somewhere in the loom.

They informed me of this cockup, told me that they had disconnected the grips and made arrangements for me to go bad there this Thurday and that my bike was outside waiting for me.

Out I went and it was completely dead. After messing with the grips they had not thought to check if the nike actually worked. I have a bad feeling about this only had the bike a couple of weeks and I am not happy.

Its like a "yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah YEAHHHH and then...beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep lines dead"

Seriously though, wouldn't be pleased at all. Get it fixed ASAP, inform them you are without a bike and want this to be their priority...

Shoulda DIY.

Goodung back tomorrow morning hopefully the loom is not u/s. I made one big mistake. I could have done it myself but as I bought the bike from them they offered to fit the grips for nothing. Then I thought "leave it to the professionals" noooooooooo!

Heated grips should be a simple enough task for a competent wrench. There is absolutely no friggin way that they would have burnt wiring if they had been done right.
