Consumer Description

DT: CONSUMER NOTICED THAT MOTORCYCLE WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT AND TIRES WORE OUT UNEVENLY ON THE LEFT SIDE MUCH WORSE THAN THE RIGHT. ALSO, MOTORCYCLE HAD A BAD WOBBLE IN THE FRONT WHEEL. CONSUMER BOUGHT NEW TIRES FROM THE SAME SHOP THAT HE BOUGHT THE MOTORCYCLE, HOPING THAT THIS WAS BEING CAUSED BY THE UNEVEN WEAR OF TIRES. THIS DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. CONSUMER SAID THAT FRONT WHEEL WAS NOT IN LINE WITH BACK WHEEL. CONSUMER MEASURED DISTANCE. CONSUMER TOOK MOTORCYCLE BACK TO SHOP WHERE HE PURCHASED IT SEVERAL TIMES AND DEALER STATED THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG, BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. CONSUMER TALKED TO MANUFACTURER AND HAS NOT HAD HIS PROBLEM RESOLVED.*AK
