That is a logical assumption. know i take parts of anything i get ready to trade. eveybody is too quick to jump to extemes with very little info on here and scares the guy.

dont rush them to fix it, as long as they still own it its their problem. dont want them to get tired of hearing oyu and just thow the bike at you and not truely have it fixed. im sure they will get it dialed in soon. good luck.. dont let everybody scare you

Not too sure if 'buyers remorse law' applies in Ohio for motor vehicles. I would start with the loan/sales contract if anything is in there about limits on changing your mind, particularly if the dealer still has the bike. Also, since the dealer is still trying to fix it for days now, check into if the 'lemon law' applies. I don't know about lawyering, but I know there are strict restrictions on 'lemon laws'.

IMO, I'd try to get out of it. Let us know how it goes.

so did you walk into the store just as they took it in on trade and bought it on the spot. OR the question I do not see an answer for, do dealers take in trades without doing a test ride and then just plunk the bike in on the for sale row. Is there nothing done until someone buys it?

I spent on a back rest off e-bay .and by the way most dealers don't test drive newer trade in,s

It's good you have that kind of rapport with the dealer. I kinda have the same after I bought 2 bikes and a crap load of accessories, as well as introduced a couple friends and they bought bikes from them.

Whenever I walk in now, I hear a faint 'cha-ching'.
