“My motorcycle started making loud engine noises at around 900 miles. I took it to the dealer where I purchased it to have it looked at. The mechanic heard the noise and thought it may be the cam chain. They replaced the 2nd and 3rd gear bearings, put the bike back together and it was still making the loud engine noise that I took it in for. The dealer told me to take the bike, ride it and they would have me bring it back when the representative from the company came to listen and look at the bike. I took the bike home from the dealer and the engine blew up on my way home. …”
