Does that really happen? lol I've never bought a new bike, but when/if I do I'll see if they can "throw them in"
It gets worse:
What they said: The mechanic will bring your new bike around in a minute he's just checking the tyre-pressure.
What he didn't say:
we ran it over a big staple when we took it off the crate stand we were trying to sell you earlier and it put a tiny puncture in the rear tyre.
On buying my first motorcycle still in the crate, I discovered the first two I bought previously, should have come with:
The Key for the steering-lock
2 header pipes, one with a cat converter and O2 sensor, the second without.
2 rear sprockets, one large, one small.
2 drive chains, one for the big sprocket and the second one for the small sprocket.
2 headlights, one for competition only plus the full instrument one that comes on it (street legal everywhere but N.A.)
Signals, tail light, horn, switches and mount brackets.
2 exhaust pipe end pieces, one for competition only, the other for road worthy.
The correct sized pop rivits to change the exhaust pipe, plus instructions to prep the bike for competition only use.
Dealer preparation?
the one in the crate came with oil already in the engine, rad fluid in the rad and just enough race fuel in the tank to start it for ~30 seconds.
I had to put the handlebars on and remove the 3 exhaust and intake restrictors that make it so a learner in U.K. can ride a powerless motorcycle for a while. They did give me the printed service manuals that come with every bike, that was mighty nice of them.
