Now I'm very pissed off

[cambridgedan]

The solutions to your problem are all here in this thread. And we could even provide you with advise re better insurance companies, better places to take the bike to be fixed next time you crash and how not to crash...

But are you taking any of this in or are you just seeking attention?

What have you done as a result of this thread to sort the issue?

i am learning in fact this has been good, where would you take your bike to get fixed in the Waikato/BOP Region

[phoenixgtr]

aperillia may have sorted their shit out, but Aprillia havent yet.

If you're going to take the piss at least get it right. It's Aprilia, not Aprillia. ONLY 1 L!!

As you were

[MDR2]

is there a clause in the insurance contract where they will sort you out with transport till yours is fixed?

probably not, but if they did and it was costing them 100's a day for a rental car boy would they put the pressure on... or may be they would have written the bike off already.

i posted you the solution. clearly you are just keen on having a winge instead of doing something about it.

Have you checked availability of this part with another dealer elsewhere that has the same franchise?

This may be a simple case of buck passing as others have mentioned regarding failing to order etc., or maybe even that the bike shop is on credit hold with the supplier and is just feeding you a line of BS.
Not saying that's the case, but it has been known to happen.

I also think it's highly unlikely though not impossible, that couriers damaged something as substantial as a swingarm.

Assuming this is a Kawasaki, I recently ordered some ZX14 fairing panels through MR Motorcycles and they weren't much more than a couple of weeks ex-Japan. The packaging ex-Kawasaki and the dealer was very protective....

a solution well it was one possibility and i might do that im just doing other things first like looking into the problem and finding out if the bike shop is telling the truth.

yea i did that yesterday and im just waiting for a call back,

[peasea]

I quickly scanned this thread and thought "bummer, bad news about the bin etc, looks like a wait for bits etc" and then looked at the mode of transport. Was this a 2009 bike that was damaged? If so, who the fuck would buy one if you can't get bits for it?

You can bits for a 1969 Triumph T150 Trident quicker than that.

That seriously sucks and it sounds like a) you're getting the run-around something fierce or b)it's a lesson in what NOT to buy bike-wise.

Hmm...I await the outcome of that call with interest!

hehe so do i, i just hope that the bike shop isnt lying

Yeah, that would really suck - but on the upside at least you know where you are with them after that! There's plenty of good dealers like MR Motorcycles who are only to happy to mail/phone/email order parts etc for you though, that's the beauty of this modern age - much more choice!

Make more noise. Seriously I had a similar problem some time ago sourcing a new set of handlebars. After a seriously long wait I phoned the insurance company and asked if it was okay with them if the bike shop conducting the repairs put on a set of aftermarket bars until the "proper" ones arrived. Literally ten minutes later the insurance company and the bike shop had sourced the correct bars and I had the bike back one day later.

i finally heard back from kawasaki in auckland and my swing arm looks like it was run over or somthink so now i have to wait for the other one which they said should be in hamilton within 7 weeks so im going to see if in the mean time i can get the original swing arm straightened and put on until the new one arrives, because stuffed if im waiting another 7 weeks, that would be a total of 24 or 25 weeks all up

[ZK-Awesome]

I agree with Toto, ya sure you can't find one from a wreckers?
