Wof

[FROSTY:Me]

One thing though. There is the matter of personal responsibility. The owner of the bike is ultimately responsible for their own safety.
By that a WOF isn't a promise the bike is going to be fine for another 6 months --its a snapshot of the bike as it stood on the day of the wof.

So i brought the new bike maybe 8 months ago and when i brought it the guy said he had new tires fittted. A month after i had it i took it in for its warrent and it flew through. 6 months later it fails because of the bead thing and im going to go pick it up today no idea how much it will cost...=/

May be just human error. Who knows. At least im still alive=D

.... no idea how much it will cost...

Should cost you nothing.... Air is free.... time isn't I admit, but good will is easy to earn if you handle a simple situation effectively....
I guess (Yes, another assumption Frosty) it was the same shop that sold you the bike??
Else, why go there when there is a Suzuki shop around the road...

This is 100% TRUE!

I can see a need for..........................
Nope, not going to put my idea all over the world wide web!

Note: they fixed it before giving it back to me. Do we really think anyone would be that stupid to knowingly get back on a dangerous bike? =D

So... I take it that it was only the cost of a WOF inspection on the bill???

There is a fair bit of assuming going on here.
The main assumption being that the tyre has indeed been off its bead the entire 6 months.
Gosh darn it Ive seen fully inflated tyres with Grass jammed between the rim and the tyre wall as the result of a relatively minor crash. And I've seen propperly beaded tyres go flat and when pumped up sit wrong on the bead.
I've also done a recompliance on a bike with a really deep V in the front tyre. I missed it. The engineer missed it and the compliance guy missed it.
Every time I guess the wheel was positioned wrong.
Yes they may have missed it last time but then again maybee not.
That said I find it hard to believe that a WOF place let you ride away if it was that bad.
actually thats anotherr assumption

All goes to support my contention the WOF is a load of shit.
Plenty of countries get by with no such requirement.

Fucking lottery

The dipshit that fitted the tyre did not lubricate the beads properly.
I've fitted many tyres and never needed to exceed 40 psi to seat the bead on any of them
