Butt u did.
And I'm trying to resolve it/fix it.......but you would let it go. Sheeple.
Please tell me again how you never made any mistakes in your life.

LOL, I can relate to your situation tons, that's why I'm commenting. Trust me, most people have been there, done that. But your situation isn't THAT terrible. I'm still seething about a used Volvo I bought in 1986. I made the classic mistake you made. Accepting bold faced lies and ignoring gut instinct. It's not unhealthy to own some of that. You can still enjoy the bike.
Aahh I see. Trust me, I'm still enjoying the bike. Rides nice...even though they downgraded top end power starting in '09. Will be fixing that afte I resolve this situation.

i heard you just put a 07/08 ecu in and thats it.
keep me posted on how that goes, im thinking about doing it as well.
i would really consider contacting omvic.. if they did this to you with a un safe bike they have done it before and will do it again.

The problem is, once you left you could've done ANYTHING to the bike. YOu really don't have much to argue with to be honest. Only real hope you got if you want monetary satisfaction is if this dealership has had a few of these complaints filed -- i'll bet no one has complained just because.
1 you got caught up in emotion/excitement of buying a bike. no biggie.
2 you had no clue what you were buying or what to look for - learning experience that you need to bring someone who knows something about bikes with you on your next purchase
3 if you find anything wrong with that bike, take it back or make contact with the shop to arrange something.
4 if you get screwed royally (like here), don't protect the shop. The email he got you, not only was it murdering the english language, it was the worst response in terms of customer service and a great example of distancing himself from your issue. You left he door wide open for him to do that.
Bike can be fixed, and you will have paid a higher than average price i'm guessing for it, but hey, it'll at least be something you can now say is fully safe (if you get a proper shop to properly repair it).
Major learning experience, but hey, you dont' get better unless you fall down first.
Good luck dude. Expose the shop, and cut ties with them on this. - my advice.

Been in a similar situation with a dealer that sold a vehicle that was not as advertised. The difference in our cases is that there was no way for me to know this when I bought the vehicle. You still have a case and as already suggested, OMVIC is the way to go. They helped me resolve the issue as well.
Like you, I used an alternate shop to inspect and the OMVIC rep that helped me wasn't keen on it as they feel that the selling dealer should have a chance to make good. On that, I allowed the selling dealer to repair the vehicle and they short-cut the work. This was a 5 star Chrysler dealer. When this happened, I notified Chrysler and they told me that the dealer was currently being audited for other complaints. Less then a year later they were gone.
Go to OMVIC an report the incident. At the very least a lesson is learned.

everybody knows its VOS.
Guy's it's not VOS motors but thanks for feedback. I'll stay away from those jerks as well in the future
...
Thanks for making me laugh!
At any rate if the bike was sold certified and then you took it to another mechanic and they deemed it unsafe then you still have a claim. However, it seems as if you overcomplicated the situation. At least you know it. Thanks for sharing the story, hopefully people can learn from your Don't Be Like Me experience.
I still think its vos, op is just trying to back peddle

A little update:
Took the bike to local bike shop, told them the story and perform their safety check $42.
-Rear pads (Would not pass)
11,000 km's and rear pads smoked? Trail braking while wheelying?
-Rear brake fluid was low. Couldn't see it in the reservoir. (Topped it up)
Pads low = brake fluid low. Make sure you leave master cyl lid off when you squeeze the calipers back to get rid of the excess fluid.
-Front tire has cracks in grooves (Wouldn't not pass). Made in 2010. Weird.
Bike seized for stunting? Sitting in pound in hot sun for a year or so waiting to go to auction?
-Steering bearing have a click (Needs to be tighten and possibly changed next season)
Landing off a wheelies?
Sounds like you got a stunted American bike that this dealer picked up at American auction for prolly $4 K

I'm pretty certain its 360 motorsports, as I'm pretty certain I saw OP's bike around month ago there but walked away after realizing how unprofessional they were and seeing what crappy shape the bike was in.
Their price was a lot higher then it should have been, and considering it was an american repo they bought off auction they probably made more than enough profit that they could've spent a few dollars to get the bike drivable before delivery - the shape he got the bike in was just plain dangerous.
Even if they do fix it now they should be held accountable for trying to pull this kind of **** on people.
