Glad to hear they are working with you on this..... Theyre going to only charge me 1.5 hours labor + battery. ...
+1, Gunny; the Ride Now dealerships were known as "The Evil Empire" 22 years ago when I moved to Phoenix, they're the same fools-cheats-liars-charlatans as they always have been!Dude, I get your dilemma before the resolution. And am really glad for you that they stepped up.
Still, you've been warned. I wouldn't buy any bike from any RideNow dealership. Period.
OK. I get it. All sales people will rip you off and all techs are incompetent because they work there. I get it.+1, Gunny; the Ride Now dealerships were known as "The Evil Empire" 22 years ago when I moved to Phoenix, they're the same fools-cheats-liars-charlatans as they always have been!Dude, I get your dilemma before the resolution.

I think that SkooterG and BD are jes trying to save NG some money. They obviously have some emotional issues with the local dealers. I presume this is based on past personal experience.Network.....these thugs that run arizona here on the forum demand that you listen to them and abide by their rules. Resistance is futile lest you be chastized on the forum. Arrogance and prejudice go hand in hand.
I am glad they you got your bike back and are satisfied with the deal you got from the service department.
Which I appreciate wholly. Ive noticed with other products people generally are displeased with big chain-type stores. In my experience this is simply a matter of location. Ive had both good and bad experiences with small locally owned shops, and with big chain type shops. I think it just depends on staff (duh). Im willing to give Scooter and Don the benefit of the doubt in regards to the referral to the Casa Grande shop (whom I will call in about half an hour to check stock on a '13) and will try and use them in the future for what I can. One problem Ive learned is that they wont perform ANY warranty work unless the bike was purchased there. This poses a problem if I wont be able to get a '13 from them, as I'll be getting a 4 year YES warranty as well. Sure, I could just wait until they get one, but 1. Im not patient; 2. I want to dump my '09 ASAP; and 3. who knows when they might get one.I think that SkooterG and BD are jes trying to save NG some money.

I see nothing here that indicates that those two are "thugs" or prejudiced. Arrogant? Who knows? BMW koolaid drinkers? Definitely.
I could be wrong but I do believe they have to honor the factory warranty no mater where you purchased the bike. They would be stupid not to because in the long run they will make their money from your service work and whatever you send there.Which I appreciate wholly.

Anyway, Im not going to try and defend RideNow. There are legitimate complaints against them. However, prior to finding this forum, I bought 3 bikes from them and never had an issue. This battery fiasco is really the first issue Ive had in over 5 years of patronizing them. *shrug*
Which is essentially what they've done.From one network guy to another. If you troubleshot something for somebody like these guys did for you and then found out your equipment was giving a false result would charge the customer for it or suck it up?
The right thing to do is suck it up. You have to do that sometimes when you run a business. They should have charged you for the battery and said the labor for the install is on the house because of the inconvenience to you.
Good luck with your future motorcycling endeavors.
Oh. Yep. Theyre closed Sun-Mon. They need to have a custom greeting or something. Guess I'll try tomorrow.I don't know about Arizona, but here in the swamp every motorcycle dealership is closed on Monday.
A custom greeting? WTF? I just gave Bustanut joker and RadioHowie your personal phone number Dan, Bust and RH will give you a "custom greeting" when they both get off of work this evening!Oh. Yep.
