Default Suggestions Please

I posted in another post that my 07 RKC broke down.
What the dealer told me was that the Valve was defective.

Should i be concearned with any other defective parts that could be in that motor? And trust it after i get it back.

Or should i do something diffrent like ask a new engine or a new bike.

The bike has 765 miles on it i had it for only 2 weeks it had 2 miles on it when i bought it.


Thanks.

You have no choice but to trust it.It's your first problem.A lemon law wouldn't even help you at this point. A bike is no different than a car. If you buy a ford with a defective valve they are not going to give you a new engine or better yet a whole new car. Sometimes mistakes happen during manufacturing. Hopefully you won't have any other problems after this.

at 946 miles my crank shaft position sensor went out. dealer had it fixed in an afternoon, and said they havent seen many of this. would it suck to have happen on the road....h*ll yea. but nothing else is wrong with my bike. i still trust it. leaving next week on a several week long trip with it. if something does happen (knock on wood), well then i will get it fixed under warranty and be on my way.

It's under warranty. Looks like the break in mileage is behind you.
Ride it like you stole it.
