My opinion on this situation:
1. Have you contacted GP in regards - what was their opinion? I would start here first...
2. GP bikes should fix the issue and pay for all of it....it should've been fixed at GP as they did the tire swap.
3. Safety cert looks for issues like axle's etc...it sounds like someone used too much torque on those threads and stripped it.
"What if I believe the inspection of a vehicle I just purchased was carried out improperly?
You should do the following three steps:
Check the regulations and ensure that the defect is an inspection requirement under the Highway Traffic Act - R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 611 Schedules 1 through 9, whichever applies to the type of vehicle inspected.
If you still believe the vehicle inspection was carried out improperly, you are encouraged to have your vehicle re-inspected at another MVIS location. Be sure to request they provide you with a list of items, including applicable measurements that do not meet the minimum SSC requirements. This information will support a possible ministry investigation.
If the results of the second inspection indicate the inspection was not properly conducted, you can contact your local Ministry of Transportation enforcement office as listed in the blue pages of your local telephone book (see “Drivers and Vehicles”)."
Don't be alarmed that your axle was stripped ; I've seen bikes in worst condition, where a front axle was stripped and being held by a pinch bolt, or the whole axle was so rounded that it had to be cut out. or spark plug thread's that were cross threaded and only 1/4" for the plug in the spark plug hole....or shops that forget to put in spacers that later ruined the wheel and carrier....its all 'normal' here it seems.
