ok what the heck?

Prior to recent times it was a time honored tradition to spend the night after picking up a bike going over it looking for flaws. Tightening loose bolts, checking fluids and giving the wrenches a good workout. A bike was not a car. It was a personal item and getting to know it was part of the allure.

Now people buy bikes and scooters without owning tools is the norm. It does something odd and back to the dealer it goes. Older riders found and repaired issues. I find it unsettling that finding low air pressure is seen as the dealers fault. I have a two compressors, a floor pump and two air pressure gauges. Also my thumbs can squeeze a tire.

I find it just as ODD that a reputable dealer obviously did not inspect the bike it wouldnt even start when they delivered it as the carb screw was way off........ We pay for a service ( good money too) should you not get what you pay for???

do they cut corners too when you go in for service?? do they really check everything as stated on the paperwork? or do they rush it in and out so they collect as much $$ and get as many in and out as possible.

there are many seniors me included that dont have the mobility to be a mechanic!! sure we can check fluids bolts and oil and maybe even change oil, but some seniors buy these to enjoy not to be a mechanic.
