suitedsevens Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 That’s gotta be some sort of record Funny you say that I asked if it was a record over on the advrider husky board.

Supporting Member texscottyd Posted August 5, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted August 5, 2018 They do not know what exactly went wrong but they drained the oil and it's carnage. 1.1 miles! Uh... congratulations? That’s crazy. On the plus side, it sounds like there won’t be any issue getting it remedied. Anxiously waiting to hear what actually went wrong...

No issues remedying the situation aside from having to wait for a new motor to be put in the bike. I was thinking that honestly I wouldn't even want them to replace my bike with another my18 501 they have if that became an option and having a newer engine not from that same production run would be better.

suitedsevens Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 oi... did it have coolant? I believe so. Motor was probably barely warm when it died. 'Twas just a babe.

suitedsevens Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 So the manager said something about how if they don't have a motor on standby to get overnighted to them it could be a while to get one. Would it be out of line to ask that they just give me a 2019 as a replacement?

Premium Member builderbob Posted August 5, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted August 5, 2018 That's a bummer. I'm sorry to hear that. On a bike that new, it's probably something simple. It does have gas right? haha But seriously, likely the tech that set it up didn't get a connector on all the way or something dumb. Apparently it's not simple at all. Totally blown motor... They do not know what exactly went wrong but they drained the oil and it's carnage. 1.1 miles! Well, that sucks. Hope they make it right for you.

gerdawg Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 No, you would not be out of line at all. They haven't even submitted paperwork to the state saying you owned the bike yet and frankly they shouldnt. I'd figure it out before they do that too. IMO they should get you something comparable asap or refund you... No questions asked. Not sure if you financed but I wouldn't be paying a loan on a bike I didn't even get to ride. You might even be able to do buyers remorse and get your money back. If they aren't willing to budge I'd start throwing the "lawyer" word in there. Don't be afraid to have them make this right for you, you're a customer and a guy who probably works hard to make his money... They aren't doing you favors by getting a motor shipped overnight... That should be expected. If that can't happen they need to resolve the situation in another form. Up to and including buying the bike back. If it were me... I'm not even sure I'd want the bike after a major transplant like that. You might end up chasing more Gremlins in the future. 2019 Yamaha Tracer 900 GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duhs10 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 If they don't have a motor on standby, then they need to find another bike... Easier said than done I know but if it were me in would try everything to get a different bike. '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras...

skipperT Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Wow. Hope this works out in your favor somehow. Embarrassing for Husky to have an engine burn down that fast! Probably an engineassembly error/built on a Friday... -Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did say if they can't get the motor overnighted we can talk about plan b which I'm assuming is getting me on a different bike. As far as the paperwork I'm a California resident and I bought the bike in Nevada so they gave me the origin slip and all that I have to go to the dmv to register it.
