As I mentioned before, I've had dealings with these guys.
I purchased a bike from them in march, everything went OK with the purchase....
The bike came with a 3 month warranty.
In July the coil failed. OK its a second hand bike, with highish mileage (BMW1100GS)
As the bike was outside the warranty, I proceeded to repair myself. On removing the tank, I found the front subframe, which held the front fairing in place, was held on the left hand side with three tie wraps! The head of the retaining bolt was rung off. The bike came with ( I was assured) with a full service plus a new battery. Even if the service was not carried out, the fit the battery the tank must be removed. There is no way the tie straps were either missed or alternatively they were fitted by the dealer!!
Also, when fitting the new battery, they managed to allow the negative terminal to touch the metal tank, which was therefore slowly rubbing a hole in the rear of the tank!
After several heated calls, the issue was resolved. Begrudgingly.
