kannot Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 So my lovely Wife scratched the alternator cover on my Honda Cbr 650f so I went to Big Wing Hua Hin to order a new cover, good thing about parts prices for made in Thailand bikes is they are dirt cheap. Part arrived two days later, they didnt let me know despite telling me they would, I took it in this morning to let them fit it as you have to remove all the lower fairings and the sides and whilst they were at it I said change the air filter + Oil and filter, it hasnt done many km in the last year as Ive been busy, probably 2000 max it s a 2015 model only done 6000km. Normally do all this myself but as it was with them and convenient on the spur of the moment i said do it.........hmmmmmm I stood close by watching them as my trust here is zero, I got shooed away by "Mr Big supervisor" them claiming "safety" issues pointing to a "no one allowed"sign so went up to their canteen ....closed, no sign of anyone...opened their fridge no drinks inside but coffee machine covered over, place looks like its never used..it was 10am had to walk down the road to buy a drink...........great! Anyway about 1.15 mins later they said done, they didnt offer me the old Alternator cover back, had to ask, then drove home. Got home found lower fairing not fitted correctly hadnt put the spacer washer in the right way round by the alt cover so although done up tight the cover flapped about some 6-7mm, removed and stuck the stepped washer the correct way round Then noticed the top inner black fairing (mock ram air) also not fitted correctly, clips not in the holes (3) at all and the allen bolt holding it all together although done up you could get your finger nail under it as they hadnt inserted the black fairing which acts as a washer and thus pulls the gap up tight............... dismantled side fairing an did correctly Decided best to go round the lot, found 4 allen screws loose as well on other parts of the fairing. As usual the "supervisor" man was there at the end to check everything was done correctly with a clip board.............pure show as clearly nothing actually checked....just "going thru the motions" Just checked the oil filter and found oil on the bottom so will have to check its actually been "done up" tight enough So there, judge for yourself Big Wing Honda Hua Hin Honda should be so proud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they actually know how to use a spanner...............of course beating them over the head with it would be the best use but this is a big showroom and to be honest, it was crap, its not exactly hard to do but I did enjoy the "inspection" by the supervisor...............kin comical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
