The first Aprilia I bought brand new was delivered with 17psi in both tyres & the headlamp facing into the road.
When I enquired about buying that bike & asked for some info, the shop owner said "just google it, it's all there" when shit did go wrong with it under warranty, the shop owner got really aggressive with me & then shortly later started crying,
I think at that point I told him it sounded like he needed a good redhead to fuck, not sure where that came from, but clearly his issues were a bit bigger than mine at that time.
With the second Aprilia, different dealer, the first one had dropped them, when it went back for new tyres, I said they may as well give it a service, so they ran it up with it tied down over the genuine Aprilia titanium matt finish mufflers & melted the nylon tie downs onto the mufflers. Shortly after calling the shop & having a yarn with the manager, I received a threatening & abusive text from the mechanic that did the job saying I was probably going to cost him his job, why, because I fucked the mufflers? Anyway, nothing was done to remedy the problem & I heard that the mechanic committed suicide a couple of years later.
They were the same shop that hid the safety recall of a replacement swing arm from me which I was alerted to by a member on here. Their reason for not informing me "we don't make any money doing those recalls" Clearly a very tough industry.
Also, when you take your BMW to the main dealer for a service, what is "fluid $40"? & why does the service light come on within four days?
