Laxed out rides

[ckai]

And now it turns out the regulator they fitted in January is fried and somehow not under warranty after 10,000kms and 11 months. Can't wait for the next thrilling invoice!

I like me Mum's trick, ring up the manufacturer/distributor and ask how long do they expect their products to last if they owned it. Then tell them how long it did last. She got a new F&P washing machine when her 7 year old machine spat the dummy. They said it would last over 10 years and didn't argue at all. She's got a heap of stuff sorted like that.

As for the regulator, under a year is a joke. Hell, if Triumph can replace 4+ year old regulators free of charge, under 12 months is a no brainer. Warranty or no warranty.

Bugger Dan, was there a warranty on the regulator?
Sometimes electrical components can be fried by other stuff in the system, even though if you'd had it sourced And fitted by HH I'd expect them to help you out.
Did you talk to Grant1?

The stator they fitted at the same time as the regulator is fried also. They only replaced the stator because it's best practice to do both at the same time?
Grant will sort something but it's still going to cost me even if he passes on the parts at cost. Whites supplied the stator and are denying it's a fault with the stator and blaming the regulator. The regulator was an aftermarket one from some place in Auckland who reckon 11 months and 10,000kms is somehow more than one should expect from their product??? Maybe if it was second hand, that shit might fly but for a brand new product, I don't think so.

The plot thickens...

I would, but I am getting more ink work done on my sleave on Saturday so might be too sore to ride for few days

Will see who is interested and look at some routes, thinking 2-300 clicks.

I've been through 3 of each over the past 6 or so years, the current regulator is a aftermarket heavy duty option which has (touch wood) lasted the longest.... there is a guy in Huntly that does rewinds but I only got @27000km from it but either way you should be getting more k's from it than 10km

I searched high and low for an artist that I would be happy with, and there are few excellent ones out there. I found Hamish at Black Swallow Tattoo Studio in Powels Rd. He is great artist, he listen to me, offered his suggestions and done a great job so far. He charges $100 per hour or you can book a whole day slot for $500. And his work is awsome.
