So, you'll let the next poor sap ride out with no brakes, then?! No I said he should fix them himself. I'm different I guess I would just fix the bike instead of using all my time trying to get the guys. This is why I do my own work. Lean from it all and move on They will continue to do this to others, potentially a friend or relative or maybe a stranger that you will meet because his brakes failed and he ran into you. We don't know that anyone did anything to anybody? Or rather who did it. This wouldn't be the first time Chinese brakes failed unexpectedly and for no apparent reason. It very well could be a coincidence. No one here knows. It will likely cost more than the bike is worth to prove that the guys did it and generally just leave a sour taste in your mouth and be a total waste of time. In order to prove it was them you would have to leave your bike broken and wait for a resolution. No thanks. I am not responsible for ensuring that people do their jobs well. I am under no obligation to inspect anything I am not paid to inspect or to police anyone. This guy shopped around for a place to do his tires, he asks if $200 is fair and we say yes pretty close to right. Then he finds the shop that failed who say they will do it for 1/3 of what it should cost. Go figure they screw it up. I am not surprised at all. Why you would let uncertified techs touch your bike is beyond me. If they were certified I would have to wonder why they are asking so little. Despite some comments here on the forum it takes more than 1 minute to change a tire. It is actually a good idea to not do it too quickly or well this thread is all about the or isn't it. Buyer beware if you get quotes from 2 shops with similar pricing and a 3rd wants less than half what the others did run away from that low ball shop. If I receive poor service somewhere I let my friends and family know and won't return. I have no other obligations and no time deal with things like this. I would have never let those guys touch my bike I hope we all learned something here.

The rust probably is adding strength...
Sorry actually, clean it up and slap it on it's unlikely that it has destroyed it. Have them give you a partial credit maybe...

Wow you never cease to amaze me jarlaxle. Keep posting like that and all your "helpers" will be done too. Remember this forum is for everyone and others may find themselves in the same boat as you. They might like to hear about fine Italian scooters even if you don't. Burgman isn't really all that much bigger and your giant feet might not find a home next to the enormous bump in the floor of the Suzuki...
