    Unhappy Screwed By Honda

    TOOK MY 2007 450R TO THE HONDA SHOP WHERE I PURCHASED IT 40 MILES AWAY FOR THE RECALL ON THE REDUCTION CLUTCH.DROPED IT OFF AND TOLD HER TO GO AHEAD AND DO BOTH RECALLS.I CALL TWO WEEKS LATER AND SHE SAID THEY WOULD HAVE IT FIXED IN TWO DAYS ON A MONDAY.WELL I CALLED MONDAY SHE SAID THEY HAD NEVER REPLACED A REDUCTION CLUTCH.I CALL TWO MORE WEEKS LATER AND SHE SAID THAT THEY WERE WORKING ON IT AND IT WOULDNT START AND SHE SAID TO CALL BACK ON FRIDAY 4 DAYS LATER.I GOT A CALL ON FRIDAY FROM THE BICYCLE LOFT AT HONDA AND SHE SAID IT WAS READY FOR PICKUP.I GO UP THERE AND SHE GIVES ME A BILL OF $254.98 DOLLARS AND I WAS LIKE WHAT THE HELL.I PAID FOR 5 YEAR WARRENTY WHEN I BOUGHT IT.WELL I ENDED UP PAYING $254.98 SO I COULD GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE BEFORE I BLEW UP.I LOOK AT MY BILL WHEN I GET HOME AND THEY CHARGED ME $187.58 TO ADJUST MY VALVES WHEN I NEVER TOLD HER TO DO IT.THEY CHARGED ME FOR 10 VALVE SHIMS AND A SPARK PLUG.WELL NEED TO SAY THEY DIDNT CHANGE MY SPARK PLUG CAUSE I RUN A COLD PLUG CAUSE I RUN KLOTZ NITRO.I HAD MY VALVES ADJUSTED TWO WEEKS BEFORE I TOOK IT TO THEM AND IT COST ME $64.00 DOLLARS.AFTER I GOT HOME I WENT RIDING WITH A FEW FRIENDS AND I LOOKED DOWN AND THERE WAS OIL OR SOMETHING COMING OUT THE CAM CHAIN TENSNER.MY VALVES STARTED TO CHATTER REAL BAD.I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS BESIDES THE RECALL TILL NOW.WHEN THEY WORKED ON IT THEY DIDNT EVEN CHANGE THE OIL.IT OVER HEATS I HAVE NO IDEA WHY.IM JUST SICK TO MY STOMACK.ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS KIND OF PROBLEM THAT I HAVE EXSPERINCED?

    Should have never paid them!! The only thing you can do now is bring the bill back to the service manager and ask why you were billed for service you did not ask for. When you drop something off intending to get warranty work done, the dealership should never do work that is not covered under the warranty unless they contact you first and get your OK. If you get no satisfaction with the service manager, ask to speak to the general manager or the store owner! Do not leave that store until you get a full refund!

    shouldnt have paid them.......personally I would take it somewhere else. if you bought a 5 year warranty then it is good at any dealer you take it too. or take it back there and tell them you want a new bike.....like 10 minutes ago. 10 valve shims?? wtf go ask her where your other 6 are......call the better business beureu or the bbb......i dont know how to spell it but you can screw that whoel place over.

    this has nothing 2 do with honda! it is the dealership that screwed u. and the warrenty has nothing to do with this. a recall is free no matter if u have a warranty or not. i work in service 4 a dealership and all of those recalls no one has ever payed for it. and if you did need the valves adjusted they should of ask ur permission first. and at the worst u should of only b charged for 4 shims.
