Yup, but that is the way it works with used bikes. You do have the ability to change your situation, by using dialog. Talk to the dealer and explain your predicament, let him know that you are unhappy with the fact that your ride has been experiencing this problem since you bought it. Then try to negotiate a deal. If he doesn't make it right, post his info on the website so that we can all think twice before doing business with their dealership. Also, let the dealer know about your intentions....that is why we have kickass websites like this one....information is a powerful weapon!
