Hah, you guys are great. Ok, I should have titled this post "Unhappy with a few things" instead of bashing the bike completely.
So, let's see ... I'm in California, and yes, I've pumped my own gas for well over 20 years. I've had a c600 sport and an R1200R.
Both of those bikes don't require a 2-handed fueling technique. Ok, got it, I'm a newbie to cheap bikes with small tanks, and the fueling is manageable, even though the cap, as others have mentioned, is a pain.
Both of my previous bikes also had dual disc brakes. The single disc brake is a new thing for me and I really don't like it or find it adequate to properly stop the bike.
That said, I have 80 miles on it. I figured the brakes would be properly bedded by now, but perhaps not.
One of my biggest gripes at this point has to be the dealer.
- They didn't remind me to adjust my mirrors before leaving the dealership. Small thing, and I should have done it, but when you're buying a new bike the excitement can make you forget. I didn't realize they were off until I wanted to change lanes on the highway.
- They didn't go over fueling
- They didn't go over brake bedding
These seem like important topics to inform a customer about.
But yeah, not the bike for me, so I'll have to eat some $ and trade in, probably for a Nine T. I'll see you guys on the road, then ... BEHIND ME!
