I just need to rant a little this morning. My C5 developed a dodgy ignition switch last fall, and the airbox lock fell apart altogether. So since then the box has been held together with duct tape and rubberbands, and I've hed to 'finesse" the switch into the right spot to contact and start the bike.
well, that went to hell this morning. Now the thing shorts, and when I hit the starter button, it trips a breaker and the bike goes dead (hello RE...kickstarter please....anyone listening?!) So I'm now driving the car, beautiful day, and I'm late. Needless to say, I'm plenty ticked.
the pisser here is I went into my dealer in NOVEMBER wanting to order a new lockset. I don't know if Steve at M&S forgot, or if the issue was on CMW's side, but it didn't happen. I went back in March after not hearing anything and now I get told it's a 2 MONTH BACKORDER to get that, and the muffler I want. Now, I can wait on a muffler, but now that my whole bike is crapped out, the backorder answer is unacceptable. This is warrenty work on a new bike, and I think something else needs to happen to get me back on the road.
I think either Steve or CMW needs to be pulling a lockset off an unsold bike and getting it to me, and getting me back to riding. Maybe that's not reasonable, but neither is what adds up to a 6 month wait to get proper parts, with all the screw-ups.
anyway...rant over. I hope you see this Kevin and can help resolve the issue.
