so mad

ok so i paid 60 for a new K&N air filter because the old one was torn somehow and ive waited a week for it to get here..excited to install it and come to find out after my 30 minute ride home from the dealer i come i paid 60 bucks for a freakin stock filter. Naturally you take it back and they assist you but for some dang reason the dealer insists that is what i ordered. so far ive wasted 1 hour in travel about 30 minutes to find the record of the filter i ordered and another 10 to make for damn sure that is the K&N and not the stock i want and 30 minutes home for one last time only to wait another week for the filter to get here.

didnt spend another dime for the filter just fuel and eventually get what i need but now ive got a torn filter and i have to get to work :bithcslap:

that sucks. I hate K&N I bought a fualty filter and after about 2 months of trying to contact them or get it warrantied I got nothing but the big shaft-ola.....no responses at all.

SOOOO....I went and ordered the GYTR high flow filter....its amazing. So much punch with the TBR and juicebox now versus the doggy feel from my defective K&N

That’s bullshit man i would have overnighted it online personally i hate dealers!!! It’s a good idea but it SHOULD be alright for one day with a torn/no Air filter it will run a little lean and hot most likely. Just DO NOT go on dirt roads and DO NOT tailgate. If you’re feeling particularly redneck you can just tape double'd up oiled coffee filters all over the ripped filter haha

why do you hate dealers?
I have worked for them since I was 15. They take better care of someone and their ride 10fold over any small shop. People just have a strong stigma against them and create situations.

never dealt with moto dealers(except the one i bought my bike from) and it came with a huge scratch under the edge of a faring not visible unless your eyes are seat height that i did not see until installing mods. Scratch soo deep it cut the metal on a faring bolt=( but my mom got screwed with her Subaru bad out of almost 3k and my buddy worked at a Chevy dealer and told me some fucked up stories

small time family owned companies are the best IMO. its the huge dealerships that bug the ever living snot out of me cause to them its quantity over quality

Ya Subaru charged my mom 3k for a head gasket that had to be bad when she got the car because she brought it back 2 weeks later.... i was in Iraq and she did not tell me she just said she needed money i was PISSED when i found out but it was 8 months later soo ya... it would have cost less money for her to ship the car and parts to iraq and have me do it there.... lol *naughtyword*head dealers =P


CC's Edit: dont worry I fixed it for you.

Dealers

Unfortunately, most dealers have a bad reputation because they deserve it. The only time I every used a dealer for anything except a purchase I asked for a quick check over after the first 1k miles, they said sure, 15 minutes should be plenty. When I picked it up they billed me for an hour shop time at $130 and all they did was scratch my riser, deflate my tires from the perfect psi to a dangerously low psi and give me a bad attitude when I asked why he thought my tires belonged at 19/21 psi. The sad part is that the service writer there is very good and knows his sh*t, but he doesn't do the work. Just like any business, they don't represent all dealers, I'm sure some are great businesses with talented and caring employees - but I'll never use one now. I do all my own work on my vehicles anyway. I run a small family business and would NEVER treat a customer the way they treated me. Also my the first bike I ever bought came from a very unimpressive dealer which is the only other dealer within 100 miles of me... Just my two cents! -Rawk

"Come to Salerno Duane Ford in summit NJ and you be treated like a king and your ride will be treated like a Ferrari. We only have certified master technicians and the service writer is the best. (Me)"

I did work on some shady dealers and I left because I'm very honest and do no like to screw customers, but are some dealers out there that will do everything to squeeze money out of you.

Worst than dealers are most of the mechanic shops (pep boys, midas, tire places, they don't know squat, they play lets change a bunch of pieces game) and convince the customer to come to the dealer and bitch about the car because is a "factory defect" and they can't fix it.
