Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Few more snaps from my end. The showroom people defended the strike by closing the gate and blocking the gate by parking vehicles. Why should showroom people go in defense if nothing had gone wrong? |

Brand new tubes - Rs 1813 - 2302 for models . labor for puncture at the store - Rs 1000, ( thousand rupees only) Night break down service - Max charge to change brake pad , bearing , Tyre fix Rs 5,000 till to date as per the Kochi store service report. For any query call on +914843997777 QUOTE=alphadog;3310654]I feel bad for the HD owners who have been fobbed off. But it is good to see them taking action and taking it to the dealership. Shame on Spice coast HD!. Just when I was looking up HD India website and considering saving up to get one. HD is sure to loose a lot of potential customers if they continue in this vein. So much for luxury premium brands!!- some do have an attitude problem when dealing in India. When you are out to make profits, you better be ready to provide good service. Keep the fight going owners and I hope you get your justice.[/quote] Spice Coast store is the biggest store as on date in India , if the dealer has to make profit only then should have done half the cost of investment , suggest our members to visit the facility and comment , After service facility equipment & tools are similar one used in hi end car dealers. Incident happened due to vested interests ![]() | |

I suppose in relation to the HD problem, there might be an other side to the story as some others have alluded to. Hope the problem gets sorted out. VK | |

BHPian | ![]() An impromptu translation for non-mallus: One of them says : Is it sales, or fraud; what the dealer does? Another one goes like: Months of waiting and tens of thousands charged for servicing manufacturing defects in warranty period. The banner on the pickup with the black Harley in it reads “ I’m Harley Davidson; My journey is like this everyday!” |

Originally, BMW was the only company that made tricked spoke wheels which came with tubeless tires, then Moto Guzzi followed and now Triumph, Honda & Yamaha are offering tubeless tires with spoke wheels on their Adventure Touring bikes. And yes, its a real pain in the wrong place to fix a puncture along the road on a heavy bike with tube type spoke wheels and NO CENTER STAND! | |

| ![]() Thank you Kaizen, for the comprehensive information on the pricing of the tyres and tubes. It does seem to be reasonable considering its a premium bike brand. ![]() I do see the point, there may be other vested interests and issues at play here and all stories have two sides and viewpoints. When one sees pictures of bikes plonked in front of the showroom by owners with a demand for better service, it does cause a knee-jerk response against the dealership. If the reason for doing this is political, then what these guys are doing is appauling! Cheerio VK Quote:

| ![]() I have sure noticed a lot of annoying cross selling from sales guys but this takes it to just another level. How's this for a company that tries to sell remaps at close to 35k when non of their dealers have actually invested in something as basic as a dyno???!!! I mean that's just unbelievable. |

| ![]() Seems like the service quality is still shoddy. The following has happened to my brother who owns a super low. Quoting his post - Quote:
