text: Caution when buying a used bike from these guys.\n\nI realized that buying a used bike would cost me more than if I bought it directly from a person directly.  I believed the trade off would be that the dealer would have thoroughly gone through the bike before putting it for sale  (Oh so I should not need a second opinion from soemone else).\n\nI tried to test drive the bike before purchasing it, but the solid answer was no.  Under no circumstances do they let you test drive (OK I get the insurance issue, even though I have my own).  So I couldn't get a second opinion if I wanted to.\n\nI bought the bike anyways, as it was the one I had been looking for (2006 VFR800).  On my ride home the bike felt and sounded odd, but I had previously owned a cruiser, so maybe they are suppose to sound and feel like this and I just needed to get use to it. I rode it the next day and it just didn't seen right so I called the Apache dealer in Phoenix (I live in Phoenix not Mesa) and asked if they would just ride it around the block and tell me if the bike was running as it should.  They got me in the next day (2 days after purchase) and guess what the chain drive needed to be replaced.  That was the cause of the odd feel and sound.  Instead of them working with the Mesa store, I had to call the Mesa store and work with the sale guy to let him know of the issue and ask what he was going to do.  We talked, he called the Phoenix store to verify and asked if I wanted to bring it to Mesa or Phoenix to replace the chain drive (free of charge).  I scheduled it for the Phoenix dealer.  While they replaced the chain I also asked that they look over the entire bike as I was going on a 1500 mile trip with the new bike in 2 days.  They did and said nothing else was wrong.  \n\nWow, replacing the chain drive made a world of difference.\n\nLater that day I was talking with some biker friends and they asked if they changed the sprocket too.  I said no, why.  They explained that typically the sprocket is always changed at the same time.the chain is replaced.  So now I am nervious again,  I take it to another mechanic and have them do a once over to see if It needed anything.  Guess what...it did.  Some how both dealerships missed the fact that there was too much oil.  Not a little over but alot about a cup (He showed me).  So I had him drain it to an acceptable level.  Also the clutch fluid needed to be changed.  He said I could hold off until after my trip.\n\n Ok so I bought a used bike from a dealer who abviously doesn't / didn't  do a full inspection before selling it and I had to spend my time and money to correct things they should have done or told me about.\n\nI can't speak to the new bikes, but if you buy a used bike from these guys plan on spending more money to have it inspected again as they don't do a thorough job.
