Just emailed him the details. Will let you know as soon as I hear from him. How long ago was the bike purchased?

Cheers man, ummm we got it on the Tuesday we had off after Easter weekend. Just about a month ago or so. First contact to Honda was 2 days after we bought it I think.

Dude,

This is what they came with.

The act covers used/secondhand goods bought through a business. It simply does not cover private sales (e.g me selling my car to you).

So the CGA would apply here as it’s goods of a personal nature and bought from a dealership. The dealer is also unable to contract out of the CGA
(unless its b2B and only in some instances).

So the CGA would definitely apply and as long as the goods are genuinely faulty at the time of sale (as opposed to your mate actually fu@#ing it up
subsequent to purchase), I think the implied warranties in the CGA have been broken and you have a case. Tell your mate that to threaten Honda
further citing the above and if they do not co-operate, contact the Ministry of consumer affairs for further advice.

Also another mate who works for the Crown suggested:

Quote sections 6 and 7 of the CGA.

Cheers for all that! Hmmm yeah sounds about right ay. In terms of "faulty at the time of sale", surely this takes into account the next day with nothing unusual having happened to the bike? I'm sure after a small threat that they will just give in, well I hope!

That means it was already faulty when you bought the bike. I'm guessing the dealer didn't say anything regarding it being faulty. Anyhoo, you are covered by the CGA as long as you didn't cause the damage so have a chat with the dealership and if he/she/they aren't being nice about it, tell them you'll have them referred to the Ministry of consumer affairs and that you'll seek legal action.

If it is indeed stuck float or something of that nature, t'was probably something like rust in the tank which then got into the carbs, rust/whatever getting into the system by you filling the tank at the gas station and riding the bike. Faulty at the time of sale? Hmm He should win still

Email is out on this event, and the mainpost has been updated

It's Madison's turn for her forks to be tugged apart like christmas crackers! Who wants to go on the other end?

**klyong82** · 23rd April 2008, 20:57

I'll be there to laugh this time, rather than to be laughed at. :P

i always enjoy a good forking

how's a double date with the viffer sound?

Will bring along a VTR1000 starter motor to pull apart and check (I'll bring the DMM and service manual)

According to its poor behaviour and the ears of the wild west mechanics the brushes are probably dirty/fcuked. Praying it's not the armature...

At least Mr Honda makes it easy to pull off - right on the front of the engine - 2 bolts and bobsyeruncle.

*could always go "midnight swapping" if we have no joy*
