NHTSA Complaint #10429966 — 2009 JOHNNY PAG PRO STREET

THE FRAME WAS FOUND TO HAVE INCOMPLETE WELDS ON 2 OF THE 3 MAIN SUPPORT TUBES. UPON REPORTING THIS TO JOHNNY PAG MOTORCYCLES, THEY SAID TO GET QUOTES TO GET IT REPAIRED. THE QUOTES WOULD BE MORE THAN THE BIKE IS WORTH SINCE YOU WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO DISASSEMBLE THE BIKE, PAY TO GET THE FRAME RE-WELDED, PAY TO GET THE FRAME RE-POWDER COATED AND THEN PAY TO GET IT REASSEMBLED. THEN I WOULD BE STUCK WITH A MOTORCYCLE THAT HAS A "REPAIRED FRAME" AND WOULD HAVE A DIMINISHED RESALE VALUE. THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE THE FRAME AT THEIR EXPENSE. THE FRONT TIRE ALSO STARTED DRY-ROTTING WITHIN THE FIRST 4 MONTHS OF ME OWNING THE MOTORCYCLE. I PARK IT IN A GARAGE AND THE ONLY TIME IT SEES SUNLIGHT IS WHEN I RIDE AND IT HAS 2020 MILES ON IT. THEY SAID THAT WAS A "NORMAL WEAR" ITEM AND WOULD NOT BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A TIRE DRY-ROT BECAUSE YOU USED IT. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS NOW AND I AM AFRAID TO RIDE IT WITH THE DRY-ROTTING TIRE AND UN-WELDED FRAME SECTION. PLEASE HELP. *KB
