Hey ,
Belton is not very far from me at all. I went to Freedom Cycles because it was not far from me and I didn't know too many other shops around here. I went to a few places but they was selling brand new bikes and that wasn't in my price range ( for brand new! ) I am disappointed with Freedom though. The day I bought my bike they didn't tell me to buy any fluid for the transmission. They was suppose to clean my bike up and check it out and tell me all about it. Well , they took forever , the mechanics were cussing each other out ( why I have no idea ) They didn't check the fluids on my bike either. And , I've been riding it and now my bike has oil coming out of the silencer?
I changed the packing in it awhile back and I just changed it again the other day.
I went up there and told them I wasn't happy with them cuz when you drop over 2 grand in a used bike and now it leaks oil and it makes kind of a weird noise? down around the engine. They told me they could tear it apart and they would charge me for it. Truthfully , since they didn't even tell me about my bike or anything , if anything is wrong , they should fix it. Maybe somebody knows why my bike does that?
It still runs great but I have changed the spark plug twice just to get my bike to start on the first kick. I wouldn't take my bike back to them and have them work on it when honestly they're not very smart. They didn't even know what my bike was ( and they're the ones who sold it to me ) They told me to mix the oil and the gas 40:1 so that's what I have been doing. I have changed the oil in the tranny , and cleaned the air filter. Sometimes it bogs out when its in 1st gear when you take off or when u slow down and then hit the throttle , maybe the carb needs to be adjusted. I had the bike maybe 2 1/2 weeks before it started making a noise down by the engine. That sucks that Kingsville doesn't have any practice time. Do you win anything if you race there?
If there is anything wrong with my bike ( say the piston and ring ) I'd like to put a big bore kit on it. Who all goes racing with you? I didn't hear that deepwater was closed down! Because I was looking up tracks around MO and that track was posted on a website , several sites actually. If you ever go riding let me know. I'd like to go riding!
My husband doesn't have a bike so he just watches me ride mine. I let him ride mine though. He bought me a bike and not him , he's so nice : ) Anyways , if you ever go riding , I know that my dad will let me borrow his truck and we could follow u guys or whatever. I just hope that my bike is okay. I have been riding it and checking the fluids but get this , I asked freedom how much oil does my tranny ( gearbox or whatever it is ) how much it holds and they don't know! I said well how am I suppose to know when to add any??? They still have not answered my question. I can't even find a service manual for my bike. For now on , whatever is wrong with my bike , I will fix , I have quite a bit of automotive experience, as I fix my own vehicles. If anybody knows anything about my bike why it would leak oil out of the silencer? Let me know. It makes kind of a whinning noise down on the right side. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to talking to you again. I will try to get some pics of me and my bike and put on here , can u post the pic anywhere? Take care!
Bye-
Ann
