Cycletreads services

[abcontractors]

After having Cycle Treads service my ZZR250 in July I had to return to get the hand brake indicator switch replaced for a second time. This is not the first time I have had problems with them. Doe's anyone know the life expectance for these? :mad:

If you're talking about the brake light switch on the front lever, they're a cruddy little micro-switch that should last longer but can easily fail. Hardly Cycletreads fault I'd have thought.

From memory, the Suzuki item is fairly generic and about $30. They can be fitted to almost all japanese bikes.

Do you leave your bike parked outside?

I went through two in 3 months on my RG250 when I had no gargre and had to park it under a cover. It simply furred up inside to the point that there was nothing left to activate the switch.

Bitching about Cycletreads over a brake light switch is a little weeny bit small minded, don't you think? Have you asked them before you complained on Kiwi Bitcher? Did you even know it had stopped working?

[NinjaNanna]

agreed not something that should be leveled at cycletreads - nor any bike shop tbh.

I also think you can by them aftermarket from Atomic bike wreckers (just up the road from Cycle Treads)

they are most likely using a Chinese accessory item, i have a few of these fail quite quickly over the years, not really Cycletreads fault, a genuine one would last longer

Big ups to Cycle treads from me:2thumbsup
They had a tyre shipped and delivered in less than twenty hours from a ph call.
Can't comment on their w/shop, but the tyre guys are on the ball.;)

It's been a while since I have been on here and didn't see the replies to my so call bitch as some of you imbeciles called it.

So to clear things up.

I paid them to do a full service and they replaced the hand brake indicator switch. Two weeks later It failed. When I went back to get them to replace their faulty switch they accused me of changing the NEW switch over with a faulty one. So fuck them and anyone who thinks it's my fault!

WTF you went back to a thread from 4.5 years ago to set the record straight? You're a sad individual.

[James Deuce]

He is the prime Mother Fucker. He can leave no slight unremarked upon. We have been served. Take that bitches.

[gammaguy]

You'll fit right in with that attitude.

It's called a FRONT BRAKE not a hand brake you imbecile.

Beware the Chin-Fist!

What is the point of asking a question and then pissing off for five years?

Lucky it wasn't your foot gear change switch that broke, they can be expensive.
