seized 03 yz250f

[tomstaplez]

Hey Guys,

Bought 2003 YZ250f 2 weeks ago in newmarket ontario. Top-end rebuilt in the fall, great tires, suspension done, almost mint condition. Then on sunday 1/2 throttle 5th gear engine locks up. Boooo urns! Oil level was fine before and after the seizure. Only the 3rd hour (4th tops) of riding time! I take it back to the dealer I bought it from, "dont know what happened to it, maybe the oil pump quit, $2200 plus taxes (canadian) new bottom end, crank ect, and needs a new top-end.... "

I almost fell over! After a brief conversation and my sob story, they told me to come in and see what kind of deal they can make me ...

What kind of deal should I expect or push for?

No labour? Parts at costs? ect.... anyone been in this situation before?

Thanks for any advice...

i'd demand to know what caused the siezure.

If you bought it with no warranty then you really don't have a leg to stand on. Being its a 3 year old bike anything can happen. Your dealer should make it right (fix the bike) if he cares about your business.
