Okay, I've blogged about the motorcycle before. I forgot to mention the place of purchase. Picked the bike up from Roadside Marine. I normally wouldn't mention this but I would have to say the customer service has been great.
Long story short:
- Used bike purchased in January with a 30 day warranty from Roadside Marine (which doesn't carry Suzuki)
- About 6 weeks ago, I noticed a slight smell of gas and just wrote it off as just a motorcycle thing
- Paint bubbled and tank showed a small leak
- Checked the web for easy solutions... aren't any
- Went back to the shop thinking I was alone.
- Chris (that sold me the bike) told me to head to service and they would help me out.
- Spoke with Dan and we talked about a few options.
- Brought the bike in
- Service acid washed the leak
- Acid made the leak worse
- Dan informed me that Roadside would not be happy with the results and ordered a new tank
- Picked up the bike a bit later with a new tank.
- Cost of new tank through Suzuki dealership: $ 700+
- Cost of new tank from Roadside: $ 0
- Didn't cost me a penny
If you didn't bother to read the above bullet points here is the summary... If you are going to buy a motorcycle, ATV, boat, etc. give Roadside a shot. Roadside Marine
