Mt Eden Motorcycles: Workshop warning

[-df-]

That is of course the case but I will be very interested to find out if a correct clutch perch fixed the problem or didnt fix the problem? Or indeed if it is something that the dealer has missed.
Personally I would have subsequently asked them to replace the perch ( upon their further advice ) and also requested a look at the replaced clutch components. How simple is that?
If the dealer is at fault then so be it, if the rider is at fault then lets hear about that as well. Is that a pro dealer argument or is it being realistic having also questioned the whole debacle from the outset that I posted on this thread??

I've pretty much said all I'm going to on this thread, unless the shop posts on here, then I will respond to that if required (or if they rectify the problem...not sure how they could, but still).

But before that, why would I ask them to do another $200 work when they had already told me the problem and I paid for them to fix it and it was not fixed...I decided to take my money else where...otherwise I could have just kept spending more and more money.

I will, how ever, post up my results when I get the clutch perch (was supposed to get the new one tonight but was unable to...hopefully before the weekend).

I would like to say though, that I have had nothing but good service from their sales staff and shop...its just unfortunate that the workshop has let me down this time.

Sometimes mate...maybe you should go and tell the sales department that. They might be able to go see what's going on in the WS and make everyone happy.

I'm gonna blow Headbangers cover.

Yes Robert, you'd probably share a very amicable beer with him.

Hey, You leave my Mojo alone.


You'll get yours back when my thread goes off the front page.

The reality is I look after my customers, you can ask plenty of people that and get at least 95 positive responses out of 100. The problem you have with me is that I have the temerity to dare look at things from another angle. That might make me a few enemies but Im more interested in cold hard facts than emotion.

I've heard nothing but good things about your work... and i have no problems with you, i just think it is ironic that you bring up the us vs them issue.

but perhaps you and katman and CFWB etc are more intelligent than many give you credit for, a thread that was perhaps likely to condemn a certain workshop has once more been derailed into something much more harmless, do you guys do it on purpose?

You mean to say there are people here that think I'm a dummy? Well I never.

I brought a brand new ZX10 from these guys ( Mt Eden Motorcycles) Mike there was great to deal with, However servicing my bike there was another story never went back there to have my bike serviced again by them, due to drug related issues, did not feel comfortable with some of the behaviour that went on in that workshop. Sorry but drugs and workshops dont mix when it comes to servicing bikes to much at stake if something was over looked and yes there was something that failed a WOF on my bike that was not done properly. That was 4 years ago, who knows whats changed now.......................

Right three hundred pages and no lynching or TITTYS

We cant go a lynching until we get some evidence ( tenuous is ok )

but i do think as I have said the whole business model needs to be looked at I mean 600 or possibly 800 dollars is a weeks salary for some and for a clutch?

( I know the overheads )

Email me when the lynching a starts

I was perhaps referring to being smarter than your average bear, but smarter than a dummy is also good I spose

Whoa there Tiger,

Sure Robert takes any slight against the industry personally (and defends it personally) and Crasher and Katman are both straight shooters and in the industry, but that sort of language is way out of line.

Fuck yeah...even I'm freaked out by the love there!

Dude...they're pretty serious charges. Rumours and inuendo are dangerous things. And a lot (as you mentioned) can and often does change in four years time.

No I really dont think so, its just that I think there are 2 sides to every story and everyone has the right to a fair hearing. I will genuinely be interested in the outcome ( and am prepared to be wrong ) but hope that opposing viewpoints shed some light on why such a problem can often be less than straightforward.
I would also express a not unreasonable desire that when ''naming and shaming'' that all the facts are rock solid, so solid that they are unquestionable. Once again I dared to question and got vilified for it, I dont have an issue with being vilified if I iknow that there is at least some merit in the stance of my challenge.

They are indeed. I worked with a couple of mechanics in central London that had drug problems and can vouch for some serious issues that occured with bike repairs. When customers are paying serious money they reasonably want to know that the mechanic is on the same planet!
