Story goes...so grab popcorn.
I was in the market for a new toy. Looked at 3 other bikes before this one.
So I found 2009 CBR600RR on kijiji the other week. Black on black, ABS, looked clean in photos. In the add it stated that milege on it was like ~6700KM. So I'm like "Cool, low KM bike and price is not bad."
Last Thursday (June 27th) I emailed twice and even called telling them that I'm coming in to take a look at the bike after work, so get it prep for my visit. They were Ok with it of course. I drove there after work, Kitchener to Woodbridge. Not the closes way
.
I walk in and they don't even know what I'm talking about lol awesome. The owner finaly comes out and I show him printed kijiji add. Walks me to the bike, then other older dude walks in and owner forgets me. Customer service fail. I started looking at the bike and check the milege on it....Damn it! It's in miles! I switch it to KM and it's 11xxxKM. I tell him right away and he knows I was ******. He started singing me a song that it must be another black bike because he's got a bunch of other black '09's there.....I tell him "No, this is the only CBR you've got in here that has ABS." I tell him to start it, bike doesn't start. I'm like "Really? I told you guys I was coming." He brings out battery booster and says that it has a new battery. Uh huh Ok. Bike starts. Let it warm up.....everything sounds nice and stock. I look at the headlights and both of them are on. I tried the headlight switch and one of them goes brighter but another still stays on. I tell him that ain't right, he said they changed that for '09 year. Lmao Yea Ok! He also kept saying all his bikes are clean and that his mechanic does safety on them. Anyways, looked the bike over and seemed Ok. So I give him downpayement and we basically agreed that I'll pick up the bike next week (this passed Tuesday, July 2nd). I closed my eyes on all the BS atittude he gave me as a dealer, wrong KM ect. I should have listened to my gut but I didn't! Jokes on me.
I get there on Tuesday, they didn't even bother giving the bike proper cleaning. Whatever, I didn't expect more from that place. We finish all paper work and I give him the rest of the money. Off I go with the car following me (brought a girl a long with me) back to Kitchener. Bike rode nice, nothing I could say about that.
We are 20KM from Kitchener and decide to pull over and grab some food for both of us. We ate. Went back to the bike and it doesn't start....I was like wtf?! Nothing, not even clicking. So I get 'er started by pushing and jumping into 2nd gear. Got home and called dude right away. He says "Oh that's weird, if anything bring it back and we fix it." I tell him that I'm going to bring this bike to local shops for 30 point check up.
Later that day I went out with my buddy's for rides, starting my bike every time in 2nd....so not cool. People also notices that my headlights didn't work. What?! So I check 20amp fuse and of course it blown. Replaced it with the spare. Magicaly bike starts now and headlights are on. Ok cool. We ride a bit and my lights go off again. Fuse is blown once more. ******! I could tell that obviosly screwed around with the wiring. We started looking over the bike and noticed that my rear pads are at minimal and break fluid reservoir is at minimal. Even rear sprocket looked warned up. People at the meet who are mechanics were telling me this bike shouldn't have passed safety like that. It was starting to get darker and I had to make it hope asap with no headlights (every other light worked by the way).
So yesterday (July 3rd) after work I bring the bike to local shop (mind you I was riding without headlights which is a safety hazard) that specialises in lights/audio and all other electrical in cars and bikes. Buddy starts diggin and was just "WTF is this?!" They had wrong size bulbs in their that were modified to fit in and all this useless wiring (I should post photos of all the crappy wiring he got out). Unreal. So after all bs and soldering he makes everything stock and looking nice. Just like a pro! Lights work good (low beam / high beam). He also confirms that pads are crap on the rear for sure.
So at this point I'm already going to send this stealership the bill for headlight work. But I'm thinking of bringing the bike into local bike shop and tell them to go over it (like I'm going to sell it) and find anything wrong or what it needs for safety.
I'm already sure that that Woodbridge place did Mickey Mouse safety....what a bunch of clowns. I will reveal their name after I'm done. Pretty sure I have like 30 days to deal with this since the day I purchesed the bike. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Thoughts/Ideas/Suggestion please.
