WTF - it's just a $12 part

Note: My bike has less than 200 miles on it.

 

So I couldn't find the gas tank prop and left a message for my dealer that I couldn't find it. He responded to me and said that he checked with Suzuki and the Hayabusa does not come with a gas tank prop.

My previous Gen I Busa had a prop in the rear tail. Why would they stop putting one in? So I call Suzuki and talk to a rep who says he'll check and call me back. He left me a voicemail stating that the Hayabusa DOES come with a tank prop (a 10" rod) that goes in the tail.

 

Now this has become a pissing match and it is making me really mad!

 

Sales rep is adamant that the GenII Busa does NOT come with a tank prop. I have a recorded voice mail from a Suzuki rep and he has the nerve to adamantly keep saying that he talked to Suzuki and the 2013 Hayabusa does not come with a prop.

 

WTF! For a $12 rod this guy is lying to my face! Now my OCD is kicking in and I have to get it out of him even if it means kidnapping his kids!

These are from 2012, but could they be the same?

Ok let's get something clear here people.

 

It's not the price of the part. For crying out loud I just bought a $15k bike. The issue is the principle. If I sell you something I better know what I am selling you. And if I feed you all the bullshit about how I take care of my customers after the sale too, then I better man up and stand behind my words. Really gets me worked up when someone tries to piss on my leg.

 

Quite simple in my books - you have every right to be an asshole, but then, be prepared to get shit smeared all over you!

Were you specially told that prop was included on the bike? Or was it listed specifically in any paper work?

If not then there is no bitch to pitch really

Let's get something more straight. Seems as though your salesman knows his shit and your rep doesn't. Now, a smart person would have sold you a lift from a 2012, but you'd bitch because there is no place to secure it on your $15k bike.

Today's lesson? Don't spend $15k on a Japanese bike.

 

And spend 15k on an American bike? Last I checked I could spend my money on anything I felt like.

I say if the part means that much to you, walk in there and speak with the fella that sold you the bike and elate the importance of it in person. It's probably in stock, if not then it's something they could easily swipe from a bike in the showroom to re-establish your happy customer status :dunno:

Or.....trade it on a ZX14 for instant, complete, satisfaction :D
