Default Getting irritated now!

The dealer has had my bike for 2 weeks now and still doesn't have the part in to fix it with. They said some parts came in this morning and they would check and see if it came in them. It's getting real old yhaving a new bike and it staying in the shop for 2 weeks and still no parts to get it fixed with or even needing fixing with only being less then 2 months old. Sorry just had to vent a little.

Yeah two weeks seems like BS. Zonatii gets there parts in a week every time all the time if its not already in stock. Something smells with this one, wonder if they actually ordered it.

I just hope they aren't having to have it repainted after they let it fall off the lift[:@]

Is it rideable?

If so, just go get it. Tell them to call you when the parts are in, and when they can replace them same day.
Then sit with the bike.

I always wait for my service. Nothing like you wandering around and bugging them to get it done quick, and right.

You guys are killin me here! I live a good ways from the dealer. They mesed it up on the 1000 mile service and the injector problem now the ECM is supposed to be bad. The service guy did call a while ago and said they did recieve the part and will call when they get it fixed. It's a pain when a new bike is having problems this soon.
