I would call the other dealer you are talking to and ask them how much they would charge to replace that part. 4 hours sounds extremely high. I can completely dismantle any quad that is only 7.5 months old in 4 hours. I would think they could get to this part and have you bike back together in less time.

 

I think I would trade up to the newer model. You may have ended up with a "lemon." It can happen to machines other than cars, etc. I think 500 up to a new one is pretty reasonable and that dealer sounds like someone better to deal with.

 

GUESSING CAN TAKE TIME!!!LOL!!!

Sound to me that he got stuck with parts replacers,rather than an actual (old school)mechanic!!!

Keep us posted with your decision.

 

Picked up my machine Tuesday what a joke the mechanic when he brought it around told me point blank you are not going to be happy He was right it hardly ran any better I gave them the 200.00 they asked for they said thats the best it can run I laughed and said it barely runs at all there responce was to take it somewhere else maybe they could solve the problem I was pissed big time but wanted my machine back so I payed and left later that night my buddy came over he has a 300ex he said lets trade some parts and see if we can make mine run like yours first part we changed was his performance CDI box with mine guess what his machine would hardly run mine runs like new so here we are a day later a new cdi box in my machine and it is like brand new , talked to my company lawyer today he is calling the dealer and honda telling them give back my money please and I have told anybody that asked about my machine to say clear of this dealer

 

That dealership sounds very incompetent. I'd never take anything back to them or buy from them again.

 

I'm really sorry to hear that you had that kind of a problem with your dealership, that just sucks big time. at our place we have Honda , Polaris , Suzuki and KTM, we have trained pro's for each brand of quad we sell . We to screw up at times but nothing like that.
I sure hope you get your money back and I would also send a letter to Honda themselves because Honda requires that the dealer have a trained certified tech on staff.

so you figured out the problem? that's cool. I would think they would have tried a new cdi box for that problem. What a bunch of idiots, they give good technicians a bad rap.

I hope you have fun riding your ex when you get a new cdi box for it, you should see if that dealer would give you a new cdi box for free for the hassle you went through. But maybe it's best just to try to get your money back and buy a new cdi box.

 

Even though it's great that you solved the problem, consider contacting your local Better Business Bureau to file a complaint. It will help others research the business before utilizing their services.

 

question. whats a cdi box and what does it do?
