FZ6 n00b
On Sunday, July 11, 2010, I purchased a 2005 Yamaha FZ6 from FZ-6-Forum.com user J-Speed Inc., or Josh.
On that day it was my 2nd time seeing the bike in person. I visually checked it over several times. I sat on the bike. I checked the levers, brakes, horn, overall condition, turn signals, etc. Some minor wear and tear. The chain was rusted and I verbally stated it was. I took it for a test ride and everything seemed okay. 1st to 2nd gear stuck a little, but he outright mentioned that to me.
I asked J-Speed Inc. if there was ANYTHING else wrong with the bike and he told me no. So I bought the bike. Signed the title and did two separate bill of sale documents.
Fast forward to this week. I'm buzzing around town and the bike is acting flaky. The throttle completely shuts off and comes back for split seconds at a time as I'm cruising. One night, the bike completely shut down in the middle of driving and luckily I had a nearby gas station to pull over into. Fortunately the bike turned over after a few re-tries and I made it safely home.
The next day, I discover THIS THREAD.
J-Speed Inc. did not tell me at all about this potential engine misfire issue. I was lied to. Now I know it is MY responsibility as a buyer to do the research and I purchased it "as is". Regardless of that, I was lied to and I do not want the same thing happening to anyone else. I would not recommend purchasing anything from J-Speed Inc.
