needing to vent & help/advice
Posted: Sat Apr 25, 2015 1:20 am
I probably shouldn't post this at all.. if possible to only be made visable by member please do or deleat it!... Oh before you read more this is just and angry as hell fzr owner.
I finally got my 88 fzr1000 back after a huge hassle and mess and some people being ignorant/a$$e$. And trying to get it back a little over a year! I brought my bike 2 years ago to a guy to just get it running didn't matter if it barelly ran just get it to run and stay running I'd do the rest (after local bike shop screwed my bike up). After a year of nothing I tried getting it back.
The guy said he use to be a yamaha mechanic who raced the bike when it was new. Has thousand dollar equipment in his garage bla bla. And everytime I'd stop by said he had a HUGE job that he had to do. What ever I'm in no rush I have my 94 to ride. Prior to this. The bike had 1 issue, i was in my young age of 19 lisson ed to my mom and had the local bike 'professionals' try and fix my bike. Bad pick up coil that would loose continuity after getting warm. That's what I thought and asked the to test... they didnt. MY ORIGINAL DIAGNOSSIS, apperently was wrong, the shop said it's the carbs the setting were soo 'weird' wasn't a stock bike duh look at it. After they messed w it had less power than my old 250 ninja.
So I tried getting my bike back after 1 year even this year., pissed my buddy he bitches about not paying hot his second gear fixed first. Apparently he didn't remember. JUST NOW, Threatened to scrap my bike. As well as apparently I used him as pure storage my bike (I've had a garage & a storage unit for over 6 year). So I made arangement to pick it up thursday, i stated the time and that it was THE ONLY TIME I COULD. he said sure that work I'll get it ready. I Stop by, his gf said he's not feeling well, nothings ready come by tomorroq. I said may I speek to him...well you can call his phone. (Really he can't be more than 20 feet away.) What ever I call him. He sais the gate is locked and is screwed shut. He has to unscrew it and climb the fence. Ok I literally say as politely as possible. 'Is this something I may do'
He starts yelling and cussing sais, just shut the F&** up and a whole bunch of shit. Comes out won't let me help his ass, asked his dad to do lift a latter over the fence. His dad is like 60, I also offer help carrying the ladder he did have a bandaged up hand he said, stay the F** away from me, & a Bunch of other shit. Mentions me not paying storage bla bla. Then sais doesn't matter this POS will never run again...
Ya no shit you stored it out side! With both outer plug missing, no intake, no tank but under a tarp. My Motor is seized, water was sitting in the engine. The 2 inner cylinders have water in the carbs & intake. Oh and the guy in his 40s or so. Oh he didn't get hurt 'apparently bad'. Lots of pain pills can't keep food down (i do believe) yet one time I stopped by i was told he was out snow mobiling. & he climbed half over his fence. Oh and when he was bitching said, he had just toaken his pills and wanted to sleep.... dude really, you knew & made an agreement for at a pre negotiated time for me to get my damn bike, or you scrap it.
Oh and if I give him the benafit of the doubt... ok you tried fixing my bike. but your a freaking parts changer (decent maybe good one, but your not real a mechanic) and gave up said your done w trying to fix it... ya ok it happens, but you never called and said so. And every time I tried getting it in the past year i'd stop by you'd say come later @ 6 (and would be asleep, littrally 1 hour after you apperrently take your pills) or come on saturday... and then every time I'm then told your sleeping.
