Default Any experiences to share about the bike?

OK, Iīve had the tracer for 2 months now. I fell in love with it first thing & bought even though the engine revved a little funny when I tested it out. I didnīt use it very much during the first month and wonīt need to as I live on an island & donīt need to go very far. From the start, the alarm was very sensitive, so I stopped arming it.
Soon after, the automatic start wasnīt always working and after a month, it wasnīt, so the guys from the shop picked it up & fixed it pretty soon. It then had the same problem the next week. They fixed it again & it ran very smoothly. I was now using the bike a few times a week. Soon after, they replaced the carburator & it was OK again. Then the electrics died completely & they replaced the battery. On the bright side, the kickstart worked for the first time. A week later, sheīs going in for a 5th time after just 120 miles.
Itīs a cool bike, but I started chatting with a guy making a delivery near my office and he was pleased with the bike. He puts a heavy load on the bike & was OK with having had to go to the shop 10 times after 5,000 miles. The shop is pretty generous with their maintenance plan & Iīve heard nothing but compliments about their quality of service, but I think Iīve hit my breaking point with the bike.

Default Weak Front Forks

Yes just bought one myself. Front forks bottom out, Separates the hood plastic hits so hard. Feels like the switch or key will break soon. No warranty got to figure this out on my own.

Default what a piece of junk

wow made a big mistake buying this piece of junk. Not even 800 miles. Anyone want it. I bought this for dependable transportation. No need to say anymore, trading soon as i can, (that is if anyone will). Mr. Diamo I wash my hands of you.

Default check out complaints and law suits

Spark plug cap and coil went bad, caused the motor to shut down under load which broke the belt,called a truck and broke plastic trying to tie it down. The belt size they suggest is too short. This is like a bad dream.

Default life is great

the ignition box caused the problem which broke the belt and slung the weights out of the clutch. Got fed up and broke more plastic loading in my dads truck. Its for sale on Craigs List Hickory/ Lienor. Its a good one ought to buy it. Or thought about buying another one maybe I could keep one of them running.
