Lots of damage in shipping apparently. the front fender completely broken off. Accelaerator cable severred, and brake hose leading to front disc barakes badly gouged, almost to the point of rupture, so that will need replacement to. The temp gauge mounted to the handle bars is bashed in and dented at mounting bracket(will need to be repalced)other than that, I notice the RF wheel will hardly turn, but LF will turn easily. Any idea what is damaged there, or is there just a simple adjustment that can be done. I am taking pics to send to the supplier so they can send replacements, but not sure about this RF wheel not turning. Wonderin if the caliper is broke or froze or something. Any help certainly appreciated.

p.s. Something must of punctured this box and broke the fender, and then smashed the temp gauge, and caused the damage to the throttle cable, and brake hose. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

Thats a bummer TimN, i would guess that the damaged brake line may be the problem with the front wheel or something near the front brake got bent and is interfearing with wheel movement.

 

Where did you buy this from? Sounds like trouble to me. Usually the shipper is responsible for damage.

 

Yes....notify the shipper and file a claim. They are responsible if there was visible crate damage.

 

ive learned if you see any damage when something arrives you should not except delivery (no matter how much you are looking forward to it). It makes it easier to get exchange or refund whatever. If you dont accept delivery it is between the delivery agent and the seller, if you accept delivery it removes some liability from trucking company and places you in the middle. Ive learned this the hard way.

 

I hoped you documented the damage on the shipping papers otherwise you will be out the money.
