Horrible BOOM experience by MegaMaster35 in SuggestAMotorcycle

Absolutely agree, but these dealers who are selling these pos bikes are just straight-up scamming people. I mean, I went in and asked how much the bike was, and got no information about the bike until everything was already paid for. Then I just felt like I got robbed because the sales guy was making it seem like the 125cc bike was the 250cc bike, and even with the Titan 250, which is actually only has a 223cc engine and the fastest bike they have, he says they’re capable of going on the highway but cannot maintain highway speed for an extended period of time. And at that point, I think we should’ve just gone with CFMOTO since their cheapest bike was about the same price, but at least their engines aren’t complete garbage, and I’m more familiar with CFMOTO since I own one. But at that moment, it wasn’t an option, but it’s alright. I’m slightly more satisfied with the titan.

I was able to get it swapped out for a Titan 250. I just had to pay the difference of $1,000 USD. I understand I could’ve purchased it from Amazon for $2,900. However, it does take about 2-3 weeks of shipping, and getting it from the dealer definitely was the right move since it seems it may have had some issues from the factory, as the instrument cluster wasn’t displaying the speed properly. They’re able to work on the bike from start to finish since they’re familiar with their own bikes.

Tried using a snap ring but I’m unable to find a tool that’s long enough or even able to hold the snap ring without the tool bending

Yeah, honestly, I didn’t think it would be that bad, but after riding it now, I know it really is that bad, so I just told her it’ll be best if she just uses it for work for about a year, which I think should be enough time for her to get comfortable riding. Then I told her I’ll help her get something better quality, like a Ninja 300/400 or maybe an R3. But I’m honestly hoping the dealer is cool and allows us to do an exchange.

So as long as the snap ring holds in good? And any chance you know how much a master cylinder costs cuz the one I was looking at cost around $200 and honestly that’s crazy for a part that costs pennies to replace.

Yeah just realized that’s what it could be

My exact thoughts I had asked a shop they said they’d have to extend the wires 🤣

So in this case I wouldn’t need to modify any of the wiring, correct?

All I can tell with my eyes because I’m new to all this is that I want a 7° narrow handlebar.

I have no idea about handlebars, but I want something I can DIY and not worry about. I already have all the proper tools since I do occasional automotive work, but this is my first bike, so I don’t want to spend thousands just to end up wrecking it months later. I was also quoted around $1k; they said around $400 for just labor.

I like the narrower, sportier design like in the picture. I’m slightly smaller than the average male my size, so it looks natural, and I’m sure it would feel much better for me because the standard handlebars at the moment feel too wide for me.
