problem, no direct answer

[sugarayny]

hey guys, I have been a long time reader and 1 year rider. I got my busa and had nothing but problems, need some real advice from fellow riders, @ 500 miles had tranny rebuilt by dealer due to no 5th gear, same @ 750 miles, and @ 1000, and 2 more times . all paid by manufaturer. now after 5 rebuild I live in ny and had motor lose all anitfreeze on first test run under 30 mph, this thing has been fun when it runs but nothing but a lemon, I really need help, suzuki will pay for all probs, got free 2 year warn., but still is it worth keeping is what I want to know, thanks

My opinion is have them lemon law it and give you another one .

no lemon law in ny for motorcycles

 

[Don Hardcastle]

See if you can get them to just replace the entire engine. That would save them money in the long run.

Maybe not but you make enough of a stink and they should replace it . how would you feel about it . Would you trust it to go from NY to NC I wouldnt be comfortable with it . i want a bike i can ride and not only back and forth to the dealer for repairs . most stealerships will make good on it .

Yeah.. I would pursue the whole lemon thing.. even if there isnt a current law, pursue it.

That just isnt right nor is it normal..

If I were in your shoes I would be having a real bad taste in my mouth about Busa's, suzuki etc.. someone needs to make it right, either the dealership or Suzuki..

I thought there was like a federal lemon law or something?

 

[sugarayny]

thanks guys, I will try to get the mtr, rebuilt and see what happens, by the way for everyone out there I found out for sure the is a new 08 coming, was suppose to be out in 07, but did not dominate the zx14 in everything so they held back 1 more year, this is true, saw everything from dealer on friday, specs but no pic, it is still the busa name

Here you go..

This says New York DOES have a lemon law (well for automobiles. maybe there is a technical difference)

Anyway, dont take it. I would get nasty with Suzuki if it were me..

thanks guys, no bike lemon law in ny or fed, only auto, thanks for fed idea, never checked that out, yeah I drove busa's before buying mine, and owned a 600 gsxr before no probs, think I just got screwed, by the way there is a brand new busa for 08 it is <1400>1500 saw specs on friday from dealer, the new one was suppose to release in 07 but was too close to zx14, this one is suppose to hit 1/4 mile in the high 8's, 07 was only a lil better than the older busas, did not have any pics but the busa name is still alive

what dealer are you dealing with?

 

[Lamb busa]

Hayabusas are reliable as hell! Its a shame you're having such problems. Lamb has no advice, just wishing you luck! GOOD LUCK!

A little late on this thread, but the only thing that should be changed is the people working on it. Just my opnion.
