If this is true, it proves their mechanics weren't competent, and Deeley Canada owes me 1400$ for 2 broken belt drives they refused to warranty.
One belt broke a day after i had a tire replaced, paid for a new one after much argument, picked up the bike, turned the corner in front of the Lambo dealer, Michel the sales guy was on the curb having a smoke, waved at me as i passed by and witnessed my belt break again as i put it in second gear.
I didn't even make it 200ft, and rolled up the alley in neutral to the back gates of the shop.
Again, they didn't want to replace a brand new belt.
Took 10 days to get someone from Deeley to come down and check out the situation.
I never get a return call, so i go down there to ask whats happening, only to find out they aren't replacing the belt, on my paperwork it says > "Belt broken due to customer abuse"?!?!?!?! WTF?
I directly confront Ahed the owner, as we always had friendly conversations up to that point, especially when i'm spending money in his shop. He tells me he can't do anything.
I toss my bike in a truck and take it to my brother Donny at Heavy Duty to have a look.
Takes him 30 seconds to see the wheel isn't centered, the spacers are on the wrong side, belt was cocked, so any power applied to it would shear it immediately, it's very important that they are installed laser straight.
The only reason i was at the dealer in the first place was for warranty service, i expect them to know the bike better than anyone. Big mistake.
I get the 5k service done, guy even test rides it, hands it over to me, i start it up, right away i can hear the primary chain singing, waaay too tight. He grabs his wrenches and adjusts it in the parking lot. I get on to ride away, i notice the exhaust pipe moving, both pipes are on finger tight, basically rattling around.
Another time for 50k service, i pick it up, clutch is so badly adjusted, wouldn't have made it 200kms before burning out.
And that was my last trip to Harley, after that, i heard stories every week about someones bike either breaking down or parts coming off due to crappy workmanship.
Every single time, something wasn't installed correctly or on tight, i would lose parts and think its true what people say, Harleys shake the parts off, but ever since i started doing all the work myself, i have never lost a thing.
Whoever cleans up the side of the highway must have a wicked HD parts collection, i know i have about 500 in parts out there.
