I made the mistake, being new to all things bike, of buying my Diversion from George White's in July of last year. A few issues have arisen in its first twelve months which I have just discussed with the workshop at George Whites.
The first issue is the fact that the left hand switch set, housing the indicator and light switches is letting in quite a bit of water. And I have recently noticed a more or less constant stream of 'rusty' water dripping out of it, which is a very obvious sign that corrosion has already started to take place.
The second issue is a similar one whereby the rev counter unit is also letting in water and on occasions there is enough in the there for a dribble of water to run around the bottom of the unit. This will of course also start leading to corrosion of the unit, not to mention messing with any electrics/electronics nearby.
Having discussed both these issues with George Whites, they have stated that they will not consider looking at either of these components until they have actually failed, and went on to state that this is in no way connected to George White's policy but is instead a manufacturer's restriction.
So, before George White's will help me remedy this problem, on a motorcycle that I bought from them brand new, each component has to actually give up the ghost before they will consider looking at them with a view to having them replaced.
This to me seems obserd and entirely counter intuitive as surely the whole idea is to prevent components failing.
Has anyone else had any similar experiences, either with George White's or not?
Any advice would be appreciated.
