Yeah, that's my understanding Kwacky, yet i suppose the 2011 vs. 2012 issue is still a good point?

Perkles wrote:unless its a pre registered bike

Yes, yet wouldn't the VIN show it as a 2011 year model non the less as that's the year of manufacture?

Yup, its a 2011 then, glad i checked with you guys on this before firing off the email.

Is it as a much of an issue now its a 2011 instead of 2012 model? i think the principal is still the same in my view.

Gents, the VIN is xxxxxxxGJJA005263, (the x's are more numbers) and checking the site this is a 2010 model, yet cant find a specific Kwacker site to check them on. am i right on this being a 2010 and not a 2011? either way it was advertised as a 2012, yet want to get my facts right before sending of...

Dear (name) Thank you for the call yesterday to discuss the ongoing issues I have had with the ZX10R I purchased from you on (date). As you are aware, since buying the bike I have had very little opportunity to use it due to various faults with it, which, unbeknown to myself, were present at the ti...

Guys, some confidential info. on this email, yet considering you nice folk are always so helpful, anyone from a legal background able to comment if i'm within my rights re the below letter to Jordan's? Like i say up to today they've been very helpful (Nicky in parts and Nick sorting the fork work) s...

An update. So i've spoken with Nick at Jordan's, it cost them £560 to get the forks done at P&H!!!! I was told to take it there as it would only be around £200 by his partner Nicky instead of going to my local chap for £450, all to save me sending back up to them. if i'd know a) the parts were g...

Yeah it's a pain. I like the bike and would've kept it. Yet now it's going to be a balance of keeping level headed whilst trying to get either a full refund or a good price on another one from Jordan's. Like I say they've been really professional about it all. They could've said get lost we don't kn...

The update. Had the forks done at P&H yesterday, took a while, yet have to say great service manager, had a look around the showroom (another update for that story 8) ), read some bike magazines, fell asleep on the couch for an hour then was told: - the forks have been out at some point (in an i...

Any update? Yup, I'M LOVING THE BIKE!!!! FACT!!! on a serious note is due in on Saturday morning to have the bushes replaced and their going to do a personal set up with their suspension specialist who's working on my bike, so cant wait. And before you say anything Monty, yes, i'll be honest about ...

Good move Cornish,lower the gearing I fitted a zero gravity screen and it's nice Tyres I would go rosso corsa Yeah i think on the tyre front, its personal preference, I've always been a Rosso 2 fan, loads of feedback yet we shall have to wait and see how they wear 8) I've not found the gearing to b...

You don't have to do a remap if fitting a link pipe, I presume it'll be fine.

Thanks for the links and suggestions I'll check em out.


Carpe de Pasty...

So, an update, i've ridden the bike into work today, and contemplated a change, yet to be honest WHY WOULD YOU, its an amazing bike, all be it with the suspension problems its got, so imagine what to will be like when sorted! I'm not changing it (yes Monty you'll be happy), instead i'm going to make...

Yeah may do. He's looking out for a bike anyway.


Carpe de Pasty...

I did think the Sale of goods act allowed you 6 months to return faulty goods but looks like this legalisation has been replaced by the consumer rights act in 2015. Here's a link it may be of some help but as Kwacky says if you don't ask you don't get, so may be worth speaking with Jordans first wh...

Yeah there is that Monty...

So all this test riding brings me onto another thought about my ZX-10R, the suspension bushes are in at P&H for the work to be done a week on Saturday, meaning I've not been able to really ride it until this is done. however, although its a cracking bike, handles like a 600, (one of the best han...

I test rode the XSR-900 and the MT-10 on Saturday... The XSR-900 is a lovely looking development of the MT-09 i used to have, simple to ride, looks good and better set up on the suspension. it rides and feels better than the MT-09, great same pokey engine and fun. the only downside i found was the t...

Well I'm off to test ride the XSR-900 on Saturday morning. I'll send an update after.


Carpe de Pasty...

I agree about the looks, but going on the tweets I see everyone who takes one out for a test ride seems to end up buying the MT10. Of the bikes mentioned so far the Speed Triple or the 1200 monster would be the two on a shortlist. I prefer triples to twins though. YEah, the MT-09 is certainly ticki...
