Craig_Bendickson Added a reply to Dealership problems and how to handle it
9/27/2023 7:00am So I’ve talked to the owner about my bike. I won’t be getting a new one to replace this one but he has given me a blank check basically and will replace everything I feel needs to be replaced. They installed the crank, bearings and seals and now it’s just cosmetic stuff. I was told to make a list and...

9/21/2023 10:05am The dealer never gave me the cylinder to send out. They sent it out themselves. I live 2 hrs away from dealer. I don’t live in the city. I would have gladly drove in and picked it up had I known the situation it turned into. I use Vital for information. I don’t understand why you think I start a...

9/20/2023 7:03pm Lol. I was on the phone the next day. The service writer spilled the beans on the whole thing. I’m not looking for drama man, just looking for advice on the situation. I am mad but until I talk to the owners next week in an adult conversation, I’m not gonna throw them under the bus because they might not...

9/20/2023 12:17pm We farm and we were combining our crops. My kids had a race on that weekend and were gonna be late making it to the dealership before they closed to pick the bike up. It just so happened that my friend was going there and he offered to grab it and bring it to the track. I don’t get why...

They should have not even tried to give you that bike back. That’s the shitty part. Why give them a chance to make it right? They had their chance when they made the decision to hand over the bike. Warn others….

9/19/2023 5:13pm I am planning on meeting with the owners next week. I feel something should be done and am willing to hear what they say before I give out their name. I just don’t know what is a fair deal.

9/19/2023 4:36pm So I took my son’s 2023 KTM 125Sx into a dealership to get looked at about the end of April. The bike was running terrible and it didn’t have many hours on it. I know all about a regular 2 stroke and can rebuild them easily but I thought it was due to the EFI and that I’m not good...

7/26/2023 1:18pm The rest of the family rides blue bikes but he likes his KTMs. Maybe have been lucky but any parts I need for the Yamahas, I can get within a day or two. Frustrating that there is no parts available.

7/26/2023 11:39am My son’s bike has 25 hours on it. He complained of it being slow with no power anymore. Took the engine apart and it needed a new cylinder. I’ve been waiting since the end of April for parts. Finally decided that since there is no cylinder for this machine in North America I was told, I sent it away to...

My son got a ride with a local Yamaha team. I used to work for Yamaha 2004-2009. Loved everything about the brand. Everyone warned me about gearboxes and cam chains. But nope got the new 250f. Gear box lasted less than 20 hours. Spoke to the factory junior team and they basically said you have to be careful with your shifting. No suicide shifting and keeping your foot away from the lever. They are just very delicate. One of Australia’s factory riders told me they would do a gear box every SX race because of the whoops. Sadly we had...

10/31/2022 4:55pm Hello. Is it a common thing for the main axle to keep breaking? This just happened on my ‘23 model and did it on our ‘22 as well.

Pretty Please? Don’t want the Austrian or Euro ones. I want a KX350, CRF350 or YZ350f in no particular order.

Is our buddy in some internet trouble again, or is it just weird angles? Definitely doesn't look like anywhere close to 160' to me, and the comments section seems to agree. Wondering what Vital has to say. Not hating on AJ, he puts out some good content....this one just seemed odd to me.

The "Sportsman" Vet classes are a much needed addition in my opinion. Hard for a working guy to compete against former pros.

What a narcissistic dick. So much to pick apart in that video, but the irony of this gray-bearded man-child telling everyone to “grow up” strikes me as the oddest. Get a coach! But don’t cheap out and get a half-priced coach. Also, I give free coaching. -Ryan Hughes.

11/9/2020 7:10am Condolences to the Ow family. Terrible accident that happened. But that’s what it was. An accident. We as riders know every time we swing a leg over a motorcycle of any kind, we are at risk for an accident. Deep down we know the consequences that could happen if things don’t go as planned. Ryno had a bad accident years...

Hughes is quite possibly the largest dickhead in the country think someone give AF about his narcissistic opinion.
