Good evening Gents and ladies (and other denominations)
I'm Paul and I'm about to complete a purchase of an fz1 from a well known (some might say infamous because their approach has been highly slapdash) motorcycle dealer in the North West of England.
Basically I've found the model I'm after. A cherry/pornstar lipstick red model from 2011 faired with abs. Looks lovely, checks out okay generally, but upon completion of the handover examination the vendor has lost the master key and the secondary set of rider keys.
This I've told them won't do, and that they'll have to provide me with the red master and two sets of keys and prove this works at handover.
They've agreed that they're at fault here and will get the hardware changed like the ECU on the bike and the locks and immobiliser.
I need to ensure that clearly they provide a new ECU with abs included. Quite frankly having let me down so far, I don't trust these cowboys as far as I can spit. If they've fitted a non abs ECU how does this manifest itself at startup? No abs light for 2 seconds ( because the brain supposedly driving the abs isn't there?).
This being the technical homework so I can be ready for that fight if they dare try and pull this on me. Hopefully they won't, but I'm ready to walk away if they do.
Your help would be much appreciated thanks in advance Pauly B
