deposit required for factory recall?

have you tried contacting a different stealership?

 

2004 cbr now wheres my 5 bucks i take paypal and other major crdit cards!

 

2004-2005 CBR100rr

Bring it to me in Lakewood and I will get it taken care of for you, but it gonna be a drive for you. Most dealers would like you to leave it with them for the duration of time it takes to get parts, but realisticly, it only take 3 days to get parts from Honda.

 

Why not wait until the shitty weather? Is there a date this has to be done by?

 

Buy a spedohealer or speedrd and correct it 100%. Even after the stealership "fixes" it, it is going to be off by a fair margin.

 

Recalls are forever, Service updates have a time limit.

 

You can thank the UNECE Regulation 39 for your speedo errors. It allows for a 10% over speedo reading, but never a reading lower than the actual speed traveled. Manufactures must compensate for extreme tire wear and any other factors as well as some wiggle room for speedo readings.

In the case of the CBR1000rr the readings were up to 25% off and federally required to correct the situation.

Also I never personally understood the Stealership comments I always see thrown around, I know there are some really bad apples out there but I'm just here to help. I work at a dealership, which prides itself in customer service.

Moral of the story, call another dealer as suggested above.

 

Yeah, that $250 deposit sounds like a bad dealership experience in the making. What has that dealership done to the national supplier that causes a 2-week wait for parts???

Strongly suggest you go somewhere else, or buy a speedo healer. PLUS, if your speedo was off that much, you would definitely notice it. Mine is off by 9-10% and that is clearly noticeable.


And Kevin is right, many states require a speed measuring device, and a tachometer is the loophole.

 

because most of them are out to rape people's wallets.

if you work for one of the few good ones then i applaud you for having (some)scruples. :mfclap:



oh and for a cheap way to get by is a bicycle speedo. they are cheap and many of them go up to the legal speed limit, which is what you are seeming to be worried about.

$10 bucks and goes to 99mph...

 

So, to give you a little crap, has the speedo been off for 8 years, and now you don't want to wait 8 more weeks?

 

Maybe, but did he know it's been off all this time? I don't think so.

 

Maybe he just bought it?

Oh, and if you speedo-heal the spedometer by 25%, now your odometer (which WAS correct) will now be off by 25%.... but hey, "25% less" miles on the bike when you sell it!

 

You must be talking to Lake City Honda (< 3 miles from your home). I wouldn't give those fucktards the time of day.

Try Ride Motorsports in Woodenville ( ~ 7 miles), or Everett Honda ( ~ 8 miles).

Biggest help you could offer is to expose the bastard stealership. And I don't even own a Honda.

 

The point being its not the end of the world either way. My truck speedo is all fucked up because of gearing and tires, the faster you go the more it's off. But it's old enough and I bought it that way I don't care to fix it.

The speedo in our other car currently isn't working either. (borrowed car while mine sits in Washington, don't ask long story)

It's not hard to judge your speed and stay away from tickets without a working speedo.

Plus, I wouldn't do business with a dealer who laid out those terms, but that wasn't what the OP was asking about.
