If I were looking as long as it wasn’t ridden at redline everywhere and trying to ride it like a sport bike, no problem.

But as that’s yours do you.

It is. Keeps the kickstand from sinking into the mud. The bike has been sitting outside under a cover since the house burned down on March 5.

My advice would always be go talk to someone in authority at the dealer. Dont be angry or get them defensive in any way. Calmly and clearly outline all the facts, then hand them a balanced summary in writing. Make it clear you would like to resolve this amicably, that you cannot simply accept the position and whilst you're sure they will be reasonable, if it can't be resolved fairly, you are prepared to take the steps necessary. What do they suggest?... See if they make an offer, if it's reasonable get it in writing and tell them you want 48hrs to consider. The crucial thing is do not accuse them of stuff you suspect and can't prove and don't get at all emotional. The more reasonable and friendly you are, the better chance they will approach a solution with goodwill.

Rehearse going through the facts. Your weak point is how long you've had the bike and the miles on it before going back to them.

just a suggestion, it's what I'd do.
