this is my first sport bike , i have grown up around bikes and atvs all my life , had mostly beaters this is my first brand new 0 mile bike ! the beaters were under 2 grand each cb650 ,cb750*2, cb1000 . hondamatic , and a few others that never made it more than a week , those were street dirt klr250,mako 490, yz490 , cr125, cr60 kx80 yamaha banshee suzuki quads we had two when i was younger one was a 185 the other was a 230 i think , i have a class a cdlwhich i have had for seven years so i shift alot ! some of that is relevant some is not , i have never missed a gear on this bike it loves the gears they were always right there i am the only one who has ridden the bike . so i am sure i am shifting ok , my sport bike capabilities are limited , scared to wheelie this bike , and i can / have launched it but i am sure if it was on a track it would be realy embarrasing time ! , but i have never had a tranny prob on any of my bikes . there are no tracks on long island that i know about there was one in west hampton but now it is condos , it closed years ago , no offense taken should i be shifting differently from the bikes i listed ?
thats at least twelve hours away , kind of a haul does he exchange trans via mail ?
what kind of lawyer should i contact about my problem?another thing...if they say you've been drag racing, then call the local drags and as them if tehy can be so kind as to provide you with the motorcycle registrations for the participants.
Shove it in their face and tell them to look for your bike. I'd like to see the look on their face when they can't find your bike.
Not only that, but also let them know that you have an attorney (and make sure you get one) and that you are going to take them to court for "breach of contract" and "false advertising". Also mention that you will be notifying Suzuki USA of pending litigation.
That's friggin BS if they're trying to lay the blame on you. Fuggin bastids...they're just trying to get outta this easy.

I'm thinking either a business (?) or corporate lawyer.
You can prolly look around and find guys that are doing pro bono work just to start you off. That way, at least you have an attorney to start off with.
Mostly your bluff card....but be sure to contact others who are more familiar with prosecuting corporations. I'm pretty sure that they have some who guarantee that they won't charge anything unless you get a settlement.
You also let the dealership know that you are in the process of filing criminal charges. If anything else, I'm sure they're gonna get a change of heart once they've been served with litigation papers or a Notice to Appear.
Don't let them step all over you like they've been doing.
Go fight with the dealer, and contact Suzuki. They should make good on it.
2 things could be happening.
If it does not want to shift to any gear, sounds like a shift fork problem. ( Thats the part that "tells" the gears where to go)
If it keeps popping out of 2nd, it sounds like a gear dog problem. These are the tabs on the side of the gear that hold it in place to mesh with its mate.
Undercutting puts a small "back cut" on these dogs so that they pull themselfs into each other. Good for dragracing, makes it a little harder to shift on the street. Not much, but it might be noticeable.
Orient Express can do the whole job for you. They are in Freeport.
Suzuki should warranty the job, however. Go start complaining to them, and good luck.

John,
Which dealer are you using for service? Did you go back to Riverhead or BayShore? I'm curious as I am looking to buy Busa in next few weeks and service will be as important as purchase price. There aren't many stealers to choose from here on the Island.
How about an attorney who deals with business law. And don't forget the lemon law we have in NYS, I used it once with a 30K suburban deal that went bad, got full refund just by researching it and mentioning it to manager at dealer.
It is based on the Magnuson-Moss Law.
Uniform Commercial Code- Tarr-Baby 24 Drake Law
"shaken faith in vehicle"
Sadis & Golberg Attorneys at Law in NYC deal with Lemon Law. Sorry, don't have number for them.
Also try NYS Attorney General Office (800) 771-7755
Good luck. Sux to have to deal with this. This is second Busa I am hearing of with this problem. Hope it's not going to become common.
