Qman Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Extremely infrequent failure, and is typically hapening with bikes that are ridden hard off-road. Its the same setup on other, more street-oriented bikes (like the RT), but it aint happening on those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 So they are going off of some tech or dealer managers judgment on repair or replacement based on the size of the gap. I don't see that going well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Remember when Chevy had the big recall on the ignition switches a few years ago for vehicle shutting off going down the road this was the fix. We had to make an appointment at the Chevy dealer and it took them an hour to do this not even sure why they even took the vehicle inside. Kind of a joke really.

blue72beetle Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 When I had my Grom they sent me a recall to replace a stupid emissions sticker on the swingarm. I called the dealer and asked if I could just stop by and get the sticker since I was going to rip it off anyway. "No, we have to have the bike here". I never took it in.

Tpoppa Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I'll bet the new rebel 500 is a hell of a lot more fun than most cruisers. That little motor is surprisingly entertaining. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I'm just glad they finally got rid of the low profile old school spoked wheels. Tubes suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) Once saw a couple on a old 250 Rebel. Both of them had to be over 400 pounds...EACH! You could barely see a front wheel poking out. It was amazing! Edited July 20, 2017 by Qman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motocat12 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Australia couldn't sell any leftover bicycle helmets with the old standards sticker after a certain date because the instructions didn't say if you hang yourself from the helmet the strap under your chin may choke you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
