Week no.9

I went today to Action MC Parramatta to see if my bike is ready. Supposed to be ready.

In a few words:
  • they will pick up the head+valves today
  • another week to put everything back together
  • who knows when another book for clutch recall
And after three months without my bike:
  • I still pay for insurance
  • I still pay for green slip
  • I still pay for financing
Thursday I have appointment to a solicitor. Will see.

The only good news is Rapid Bikes magazine published my e-mail about this problem.

Some friends of mine called Honda to ask them about oil problem. They don't recognize:
We don't have ANY problems with the oil.

Ya right, and the forums are full of topics with this issue.

Everything is about money!

Week no.7

Tomorrow will be week no. 7 without my motorcycle.

I've called ActionMC today to ask about status.

They are following HondaMPE instructions to mount titanium valves also. I thought the bike had already titanium valves...

So:
1. they told me only piston rings will take 2 weeks
2. after that they were waiting for a gasket :)
3. after that, valve stems
4. now: valves. And even worse: not available in Australia. There are in Japan. When valves will be here? Who knows? Long live to honda customer service!

I wander what's next!

During this time I am paying for regio, insurance, financing.. etc, without enjoying the bike. Summer is almost gone.
