Dealer in New Jersey?

Point taken, feel bad for the guy... sucks that he's having these problems with such a stellar machine.

In today's economy? PLEASE. We should be rejoicing that ANY dealer is still surviving regardless of how much staff they have. Case in point: Today, I visited a nearby KTM, Yamaha, Kawa, Polaris dealer that had a total of 3 living humans in the building. I was the only customer in the building... on a Friday... at lunch time. For perspective: I've been in this dealership in years past, during the same time, and it looked like Grand Central Station. The salesmen were beating each other with baseball bats to get to the customers first.

The economy sucks. Get real.

To add he had kit in stock and thats why I had work done there otherwise would have been happy to leave at cross country but they told me it was on back order and they could not give me a timeline and just wanted to get bike to run good...

I'm sorry guys that price included 2hrs labor to install slip on and mapp computer....

It baffles me, there is always someone on a forum that feels the need to correct others, let people talk and express themselves without censorship. If my 2nd grade level cuss words offened anyone, I am sorry...

Hey Krieg your out browsing looking at other bikes I'll give you contact info on this dealer you no since we should be happy dealerships are still in buisiness. Oh yah thats right you werent even at a husky dealer what were you eyeing up a new KTM lol

Wacked 1,

No offense, but I'm trying to put this all together.

Are you're saying the second dealer charged you $600 for the power-up kit and then put damaged parts on your bike?

Or are you saying that you noticed that the pipe was damaged when you were inspecting it at home?

Was the kickstand bent before you took it to the dealer or after you took it to the dealer? Just asking because the stock pipe is bigger than the power-up pipe and I kind of find it odd that the kick stand would have damaged the smaller pipe.

What I find really odd is that the dealer even helped you get the Speedo and Battery covered under warrantee?

Do you think if would be possible for you to post a copy of the invoice FOR ALL OF US TO REVIEW so that we could actually see what was done and who paid for what and does the $600 include the warrantee work? (Speedo and Battery?)

Just Asking.

It might help clear some things up.

Wow, now there's some assumptions! I was there to buy oil because it's close to where I was working. Unless you've been asleep the last 2 years, you've got to know how difficult it's been for the recreational and power sports industries. Of the many shops I visit throughout the year, in several states, almost ALL of them have cut back on staff till there's only enough to keep things going in proportion to their slipping revenues. It only makes good business sense and it's simply a case of survival for most of them. And, as has already been pointed out, some of the best shops I do business with are 2 to 4 person operations. Sorry you're having issues. I've been there, done that, got the tee shirt.

...lost in translation!

Lets not beat around the bush we all no who everyone is on here and the shady dealer I dealt with is probably right on this page dont worry I took pics of the used junk you put on my bike and I have video clip being sent to husqvarna-na you no I could have been killed with that throttle being stuck wide open. The pipe was put on before any initial warranty work. Than I contacted a customer service representative after it came home with a dead battery broken speedo and a dented pipe.Oh yah I contacted the dealer within 15 minutes of leaving when the person following me noticed dent and he told me to bring it back following day. First you said I was too heavy 200lbs and I bottomed out and the kickstand hit the pipe we all no thats impossible and your own mechanic assured you on that. All the warranty work was done a couple a week or so later after someone from bmw motoradd contacted you dont forget because you said you would not touch it until ok'd because I didnt buy there. I dont know what was up with kickstand but come on who is going to bend steel like that with no other damage. I would post receipt and prove it to all of you but i'm not here to try ruin anyones buisiness. I just am a firm believer in treating people good it pays in the long run. And I feel I was shit on

Krieg not to point you out I understand how bad everything is man. One of the dealers I dealt with regularly might be closing its doors also. The economy sucks and hopefully it gets better or were all going to be screwed. My bad im not here to make enemies just for technical support sorry been venting out on everyone....
