got a phone call from dean horton last week about the problem with the gear clusters i fitted mine and its slipping in 5th the day after i was going to strip it down for inspection but the call saved me a job he will send the new clusters out and the suspect one needs to be sent to Stuart Owen imo he has done the correct thing just have to wait for it

Bearing in mind the cost if these kits and most have been sold in uk of the faulty batch, would it not be reasonable to expect RLC to set up a workshop session in the uk for customers to come and get the manufacturer to replace the part themselves, or am I being unreasonable. :?:

I would love one of these gearboxes for my lam my, however running a business in this recession means I can't afford one, obviously I am in the wrong business. :(
Customers do expect a lot in the real world and often too much because they are constantly told by consumer programmes to shout and complain until they get what they want. Sometimes you have to draw the line!

On the gearbox......they have done the right thing in my opinion and some retailers/manufacturers could take a leaf out of their book.
You bought a gearbox and its faulty so they will replace at no cost, you didn't pay for the labour to be fitted so you dont get it fitted f.o.c as you would be put in a "better" situation than you were before if that was the case.

what about those who have had them fitted by others at cost ?

maybe if certain individuals hadnt restricted sales of certain scooters and parts over the last 10 yrs or artificially bumped prices by saying how "rare" the were then we all might have a little more money to buy the things we would like for our scooters :!: :idea:
