Hello from Northern Ohio
Hey Guys,
I am up here in Northern, OH (Akron) and would be amenable to riding. I could get to Columbus. Some of the best riding is over near Ohio University and Hocking Hills. Anybody going there?

IT IS RED AND BLACK, THEY WERE PUTTING BLACK WHEELS ON IT AND INSTALLING THE JUICE BOX, THEY DIDNT TUNE THE JUICE BOX CORRECTLY SO WHEN I CAME HOME I REMAPPED MINE WITH MY LAPTOP.

I LEANED MINE OUT ALITTLE BETWEEN 5 AND 8K RPMS, SEEMS TO RUN REALLY GOOD, BIG TORQUE DIFFERENCE, I THINK I AM GOING TO GET THE COLD AIR KIT FROM KEWLMETAL, I DO NOTICE THAT THE BIKE RUNS HOT AND MAYBE LOSING THAT BULKY AIR FILTER HOUSING WILL LET SOME MUCH NEEDED AIR IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

I second logic!!
Russ and the crew at Middletown has been nothing but great! It my be the new Renegade that I just bough from them, but they always take great care of me!!!
Just remeber that BRP supply chain issues should not be taken out on the bike shops...
Thanks MC!!!

First off my juice box settings were wrong when I got the bike back, I just purchased it 2 weeks ago, I put 500 miles on the first week so I let them do the first service, I purchased phantom wheels so I had them install them at the same time. Sales guy lied to me at the time of purchase, when I got the bike back from the first service with the new wheels there was a terrible vibration at 60mph, so that tells me they didnt test drive the bike to check their work. I took it back that following sunday and dropped it off because the black sprocket cover was wrong so I had them address the vibration at the same time. I got the bike back Thursday, still have the same vibration, same speed, same everything. I guess my expectations are a little high, I have been in automotive service departments my whole adult life and I guess I expect to be treated the same way I have treated my customers over the years but I cant say that I would recommend them at this point. I guess its a disappointment more than anything that I just dropped over 20k in their dealership and my brand new bike has a vibration due to no wheel weights on the back wheel!! I will handle the vibration myself at this point and hope that they can improve their service department. I do love my bike though!!

You do realize there is the possibility your rear wheel actually did not require any balancing weights to be balanced. The vibration could be due to something else completely. Did you specifically TELL them the vibration was at 60 MPH?
I'm in shock the same place that treats me like a king could treat someone else so bad. This kind of thing really bothers me and once I get more details about the situation I will confront Aaron the owner face-to-face. If the complaint is legitimate and they really are snubbing their collective noses at a customer, I'm all for jumping on the bandwagon to burn them at the stake. But not before giving them a chance to make it right.
there are three sides to every story...yours, theirs, and the facts.

I EVEN HELPED THEM DIAGNOSE IT, LIKE I SAID I WAS A SERVICE MANAGER FOR TEN YEARS, I KNOW HOW TO CONVEY A ISSUE WITH SOMETHING WHERE STEVIE WONDER COULD EVEN SEE IT. I EVEN TOLD HIM I HAD THE BIKE UP TO 60 MPH AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND THE VIBRATION WAS STILL THERE, WHICH WOULD INDICATE A WHEEL/TIRE ISSUE. I ASKED IF HE CHECKED BELT TENSION, HE SAID YES, BESIDES THOSE 2 THINGS WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?? NO VIBRATION BEFORE WHEELS AND TIRES, NOW THERES A VIBRATION. AFTER I BALANCE THE REAR TIRE TOMORROW, I WILL LET ALL KNOW THE RESULTS. I AM 100 PERCENT SURE THATS THE ISSUE. THEN I AM GOING TO MAKE A PHONE CALL TO MIDDLETOWN AND THEY CAN SEND ME 120 BUCKS FOR THE MOUNT AND BALANCING OF THE TIRES THAT THEY CHARGED. I DONT REALLY EVER GET WORK DONE ANYWHERE I JUST DO IT MYSELF AND I HAVE SUCH HIGH EXPECTATIONS THEY COULD BE A LITTLE HARD TO MEET. BUT WHEN WE ALL SPEND THIS KIND OF MONEY ON A RECREATIONAL VEHICLE SHOULDNT WE HAVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS?

ALSO IN MY BUSINESS NOW, WHICH IS STILL CAR BUSINESS, IF I HAD A CUSTOMER THAT JUST BOUGHT A CAR AND THEY HAD A ISSUE LIKE THIS YOU CAN BET THEY WOULD HAVE ALREADY MADE A BBB OR ATTORNEY GENERAL COMLAINT. I HAVENT BEEN CRAPPY WITH THEM AT ALL, I HAVE BEEN AGREEABLE AND TRIED NOT TO LOSE MY TEMPER OR BE A JACKASS. RUSS IS A NICE BUY AND SEEMS TO MEAN WELL BUT RESULTS ARE RESULTS AND WHEN YOU ARE STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE THAT YOU TOOK THE BIKE IN FOR THERE IS A PROBLEM.

Appreciate your candor. No one but the owner can make things right and I find it extremely hard to believe if Aaron knew about all this crap (and the bad publicity he's getting about it) he would fall all over himself to make it right with you.
So did you speak with Aaron??

No I try not to whine about things if I can help from it, thats why I didnt even tell bonehead the whole story I just asked if the service he got was up to his standard. I am really not trying to give them bad press but if they cant balance tires how can I expect them to fix something major that happens. I guess its more of a trust issue than anything.
