I'm not the dumbass that owes $10 large for a trashed bike with a wonky frame.

Perhaps some pictures of what you see would be helpful. As far as scrapes on the pipe, the outer primary and the floorboards....this just means the previous owner was leaning hard in the turns. Heck, I have had to replace 3 primary covers so far as they tend to grind down after awhile and leak fluid..

My advice is to dump the bike and buy a new one. Even if you lose a couple grand in a trade youll get a bike you know the history of. Its obvious this is just going to bug you so only cure is to get rid of it. A couple thousand isnt much in the grand scheme of things. How much money have we wasted on booze our whole lives lol
used is always a risk. I dont think dealers are obligated to reveal anything unless its a salvage title or a lemon law title. Im sure someone could pipe in on that.
It sucks you got handed a **** hand. Probably too late but I might call the GM of that dealership and let him know. In the very least you can call him a **********. Yeah you should thoroughly inspect a bike before purchase, but sometimes things are doctored up to make them seem better than they are. Sometimes things show up later. They are also trained to keep you distracted so you miss things like this, or a shitty APR or what ever. Got to learn to ignore all their noise and BS and most of all urgency. I cant stand when someone tells me if I dont buy today someone else will. Let them. Theres no shortage of bikes.
like I said trade it and chalk it up to life experience.

Yep, yep, yep....
youre never gonna be at ease or enjoy the money you've spent. Pisses me off they ****ed ya. Like a previous guy said, trade the bike in on another one. If ya loose a couple Grand or so, who cares. Look the next one over good. Don't wast your time hating the bike, move on

Yes, you just have debt everywhere else lol. Im not worried about $10 large, but something that could be considered salvage. And actually I didnt. The thread is an invitation. Not a mandatory that you must click and respond. I guess you better go to every organization and and thread to give input. But I never said the its trashed or has a wonky frame. 🤡

Check the bottom of the floorboards for scrapes. If there are none then he scraped the exhaust doing something else. My current ones took a hit coming out of a parking lot when I hit an unexpected drop, the tips ended up hitting the concrete on the bottom. Not from riding the **** out of it. Hell, if there was only 1800 miles on it he barely rode it at all.
