Selah Powersports - Not pleased
« on: December 10, 2011, 12:43:18 PM »
I took 2 honda Trail 90's into selah powersports this summer. Seemed like good guys workin there. They quoted me $400 to get the 2 of them running. Well it ended up being about $600- I can deal with that.


Got the bikes home and right off the bat, I can see that the back brake on one is just hanging on the side of the bike - not connected at all...

I get the bikes goin and ride it around my property about once per day just to practice getting them started. A few days after bringing the bikes home, I notice they are both leaking gas. No clips were ever put on the lines to securely seal them.

Me and a friend start doing a little maintenance on the bikes and take out the spark on one of them. The plug looks stripped from the get-go and we cannot get it back in the bike. It looked like they jammed it in there and totally ruined the threading. I bought a new spark the other day and it won't go in.


1 bike won't even start
1bike is incapable of having a spark plug.

I guess that I should have taken the bikes back but I was gone for weeks at a time due to hunting season.

Any suggestions? I'm sure that they are fixable, just not by me.

Anyone else have any experience dealing with these guys?

I feel like I'm out nearly a grand for 2 bikes that were suppose to be safe investments.

Should be fixable...pull the head off the top end to get a good look at what exactly happened to the threads. Might be able to straighten out the threads yourself if you know someone with a tap and dye set or have a machine shop do it :twocents: Hope you get them running without to much work

You can buy spark plug taps, try NAPA and see if they have them
Some people spend their entire life wondering if they made a difference. Marines don't have that problem.

take the bikes and a lawyer to see them. Then take it to a reputable shop and have them send the first shop the bill.
Never, ever let Creed hold you baby, it will ruin it and you will have to get another.

Have you tried calling them and asking them what they will do to make it right?

back in 2005 I plunked down about 7 grand for a new woodland camo 660 grizz ATV , during PDI I hear some banging coming from the shop.
 
I peeked behind the door and seen this dude pounding in a bolt with a ball peen hammer,  I said "dude WTF, thats not a nail"
It was a battery hold down bolt, not a super big deal although its still stripped out to this day.
I was pissed off, got the bike and finished the PDI myself
 
 
I really do not trust any shop.
 
I made a deal with the local arctic cat shop and took home my brand new M8 snowmobile in a box, told them I wouldn't buy it if any of them touched it before I did.
 
they got a forklift and slid it into the back of my truck, been a perfect sled not one single issue.  2007 M8

PDI

pre-delivery inspection


Thanks. I'm sure I was the only one who didn't know WTH that meant.

WTH  :dunno:     hahahaha, I only know what a PDI  is because I have bought  a lot of toys over the years.

Have you tried calling them and asking them what they will do to make it right?
My thoughts exactly.  Maybe they are good about making sure the customer is happy; you're not happy; maybe they'll work with you.  Right now it seems you're working on an assumption that they want to screw you.

Sorry you had trouble with them E-burg.  Don't know anything about them, but I do know that I have a small atv-motorcycle repair shop, so if they won't work with you and you still need some help, let me know and I can fix you up.  Good luck.
