It might be the rats!

Ahh-huh, I have awakened some brilliant minds. Great come backs guys and gals. Don't ya just love it

when someone talks about something other than tires and oil.

Picking up a Can Am Maverick next Tuesday and retiring my WR250R for the winter. I will follow up with a

"newby" report. I just love new ventures!

:clap: :congrats: :2thumbs:
You're gonna have TONS of fun!!



What kind of oil and tires will you be using?? :roflblack:

 

[Stumpy6Guns]

Not cheap or quick.

hope it's a quick and inexpensive repair.

Ha! I should be so lucky!

The estimate is $1,075. The varmints chewed into the wire harness and wrecked the wires to both the pillion switch and the compressor. They are going to submit the claim for the compressor to RPM-One in the hope that they will cover it because it was leaking before the rodent problem, but I'm not holding my breath. :gaah:

:shocked:... That really sux. :banghead:

For a thousand bucks I could buy a cherry picker to lift off the rear section myself and still have $800 in my pocket. This really bites.

Check with your bike insurance company. This happened to our truck and it was covered! $2,700.

Thanks for the tip!

I just filed a claim; we'll see what happens.

I've heard you can get rid of them if you stuff steel wool in their little holes ...

Foremost Insurance company rave!

Last night about midnight I submitted the claim to Foremost Insurance Company. 8:00 AM this morning the adjuster called me, then he called the service department for the estimate, then he approved it and shot me a direct deposit for $919! I have a $500 deductible, but I'll gladly pay that instead of $1,419!!

I am impressed. I was afraid they would turn out to be a fly-by-night outfit, but I was wrong.

Rodents love nice dark places to build a nest. You wouldn't believe the damage they do to lawn mower engines. Bounce dryer sheets stuffed into areas that the little suckers can get into will deter them. I hate mice! :banghead:

:congrats: Foremost has been around for a really long time.
Even thought I don't use them for my PowerSports customers; they are about as far from "Fly-by-night", as an insurance company can be! :thumbup:

I had a mouse problem in my garage a few months ago. I purchased these and haven't seen one (or droppings) since.

:2thumbs: Good for you. I have Foremost insurance, too. It's good to hear they came through.

And now: he's traded it for a new bike! :clap: :thumbup:

Well, not quite. I'm selling it. The trade-in value was not so great, and the dealership suggested I list it. If it doesn't sell in a month or so, I'll probably consign it.
