I just got a 09 a month ago brand new. very happy.
what is the clutch screw recall? have not heard of it.
I put a braided clutch line, aftermarket adjustable shorty levers, brocks clutch mod and brocks clutch cushion in it and like the clutch alot better.
Too jerky and graby stock. careful down shifting hard into a turn though with the sliper disabled.

As stated before, have the dealer check the vin# to see if it falls in the service bulliten range for the clutch. There are two sets of vin#s in that bulliten, one is for Cali models and the other is for everyone else. My 09 was not affected and I haven't had a single issue with it yet.... except for the attention that it draws (get used to it).
No problem, here to help.
You get the bike ?

So here is what happened this morning:
I was at the dealership this morning sharp at 9 am.
I confirm all the numbers and all the things that have to be done with the salesman and the service department (It took about 3.5 hours). I paid $200 deposit and the salesman and I went to the business manager's office to sort out the financing. The business manager enter the numbers and surprisingly computer came with different payment
. I got freaked out! Anyways make the story short, at the end the sales manager told me that the salesman made a mistake on calculations and here is what you have to pay!!! The bi-weekly payment jumped from $78 (as I confirm with the salesman) to $95 !!!
Tonight, I'm sitting in a quiet coffee shop and thinking about all this. I almost had my bride. I am working on numbers now to see how it works then call them on Monday.
My soul is broken, and the imagination of me on the white/blue busa doesn't leave me.:cry::cry:
Thank you for all your support.

NO you did the right thing! If the deal changed.... after you had it all worked out! I would raise the BS flag here! I hate itwhen a price was settled, and then after it all said and done. Its not the same! Crunch the numbers and see how much more or where their making more money off of you! You can always look at another place to make a deal! I did! I went 4.5hours away from my location to spend 1k's less! 11k for my busa otd...instead of local 12.6k and 13.4k otd from my local dealers!
Dont give up if that is what you want! Just know when to walk away! They lost a sale! You just need to keep looking! And no problem! Been in your shoes before!

Ryan,
May I offer you this,
I had an '09 Gray/Silver Busa I bought in Dec '08. I read up about the Clutch bolt recall, on H.ORG, and even confirmed with the dealership that my S/N was out of the recall #'s.
I then put 15,500 miles on this bike in less than 11 months and with no regrets or complaints. It performed perfectly Until I totaled it in a very low speed low side accident.
I was so pleased with every aspect of the first bike, that I spent the next two months tracking down an identical twin.
When I finally found one, it turned out to be be an older S/N and needed the recall, according to the service bulletin.
I knew of this, and asked the service manager if it had been done, and he produced, on the spot, objective and recorded evidence that it had been performed, and gave me a paper copy.
I know exactly how you feel about not getting the bike you thought was yours, I had Three of these slip through my hands because of Ins Co. dragging their comprehensive feet. (Whole nother story).
Any way, Point is, keep looking and I am sure you will find the bike that is right for you, or she will find you.
Thanks for the ear,
Bubba

Stay patient bro. It's obvious you know exactly what you want (which wasn't the case for me unfortunately), so no sense in rushing into it. It's still pretty early in the season, but IMO probably the worst time to be looking for a bike.
The only advice that I can offer from my experience is that I've had distant dealerships that claimed a nice low sale price online and find a way to escalate it to what they want eventually in the end. They can "sell" you the bike for $10K and add on whatever dealership/assembly fees they wish. I had a friend get told a price over the phone, got the check cut from the bank for the exact amount, had the price change several hundred if not close to a thousand b/c of some BS dealer fees when he gets there. Ended up wasting time, money, and ended up buying from the first place anyway. I'm sure this goes without saying, but before you travel, be sure to get an out the door price (in writing and faxed if possible).
It seems that this time of the year it's a little tougher to get deals from a dealership. The economy is getting a little better, tax returns are coming in, etc. Everyone and their mother is on a bike right now, and they know it. Don't know if it was due to the economy (I know I used it for an excuse a couple years ago to get one cuz I was sick of filling up the SUV) or simply a fad coming back around. I don't know if the scarcity of the 10's helps the matter either. Good luck.

Ryan relax .
I was mgr for Lincoln Mercury for many yrs listen to me .
You were there at 9 am sharp per your words , right ?
Salesman and mgr saw your eagerness .
You have prolly asked them forty questions already which yu have right to do so but they saw most likely you had already taken mental ownership of the bike .
Oldest trick in the book .
They sat you down and went for the 'bump' in F&I is all .
Simple and plain old trick , dirty yes very but every day tactic in dealerships no matter the brand .
You did great and if I was salesman or mgr at store I'd be pissed cuz finance mgr was weak , couldn't close you and even worse let you walk !
When you balked did mgr not try to save the deal ?
nada ?
They tried you on is all , you said no , they should have made the deal on your terms .
period .
plain and simple .
Sorry but usually nowadays up front the numbers are out in open and very competitive sale wise but F&I is diff . once you get in there every store is diff.
You may qualify for 8% interest and they will ad 'points' or percent to increase gross .
A mistake was made BULLPUCKY .
Know why ?
Because no F&I mgr worth anything will begin to print or work a deal with 'mistakes' in it .
That paperwork better be perfect or it ain't gettin processed it ain't getting printed and it ain't getting 'hung' meaning it won't happen .
They tried you on and you did the right thing by walking out .
DO NOT CALL THEM BACK , repeat do not call them back.
They will call you I promise .
When they do now it's your turn to play games .
'um no I can't really come back in because I have an appt at another dealer . Sounds to me like the numbers are even better so I don't know how you could have made mistake '
is exactly what you say and thank him and hang up .
Wait a bit hopfully if they are worth their salt salesman will complain to mgr and mgr will call you .
This is when you cry and whine and express how smashed and pissed you are .
Again when he asks you to come back you tell him you have an appt at another dealer .
This is when mgr will have to make decision on whether or not to give salesmans commission away , F&I points away and give bike away .
If he doesn't offer you better than orignal numbers don't go back at all .
Find another dealership .
I used to sign off on over 300 deals a month .
Most went smooth as silk cuz they were savvy old folks writing a check in full .
Others it was easy to see eagerness and as mgr my General mgr used to make me try folks on , sorry just the nature of the beast .
F&I should not have let you walk or leave the store cuz your rubbed wrong and now it's gonna cost them to get you back at least another 500 is what I would start off saying when mgr asks 'what's it gonna take to get you back , sir?'
Is there not another store around you you can go shop at ?
While all dealers attempt to make $ some will still treat you right from get go and be up front with the figures .
Sorry for the long post but I lived your day today for ten yrs .
Hated it cuz it's not how I am by nature at all.
