So right there is another little bit of money I have to spend to fix the bike up. Well after I was done, you could still see the spots on the chain that had rust one them, just not as badly as it was before. So I decided to look over the bike thoroughly and realized that chain had a bunch of surface rust on it, as if the bike hadn't had the chain cleaned for half a year or more! I was hoping that a good cleaning would get rid of it all, so I decided to do a thorough cleaning of the chain. Another piece had a piece actually missing from the corner from it entirely, and there was a ton nicks in the paint (which wasn't a big deal). So right away from the moment I got the bike, I was going to be out roughly 500 dollars with having to replace the plastics. Fairing pieces can cost 300-1000 dollars and to find ones that match this exact paint color is a little more difficult. The shipper showed me the video he made at pick up to prove that they were there prior to him leaving, so he wasn't to blame. When the bike came in, I talked with the guy who delivered it, and he told me that there was a bunch of chips and a couple cracks in the fairings, which were never mentioned to me.
No surprise there, most dealerships love to sneakily add fees. They were firm on the price telling me that their crew had done maintenance on the bike and made sure everything was in top order, which was apart of one of their "fees" that was added to the cost of the bike. Again I asked specifically about fairings, and the chain, stuff that's easy to spot. I was told it was, and since I live in the Midwest and they are in Texas, and there's this pandemic going on, I had to rely on their word. The thing that really makes me mad, is I asked specifically if the fairings were in good shape, asked if there the chain was good, and a few other things with the bike. The process took quite awhile, response time wasn't fast at all, but I understood that it's a tough time for everyone with this Covid 19 going on. So I messaged Team extreme about potentially buying the bike.
