ici Franck de chez Free Street Design.
Puisque ce client veut r?gler le probl?me en ligne et en public et bien allons y !
Un club FJR de Belgique a command? des gardes boue 1300 FJR au mois de juillet, depuis certains ont eu le garde boue cass?, soit a cause d'un mauvais montage, soit a cause d'un probl?me technique. Certains motards de ce club s'?tant mont?s la t?te ne veulent m?me
pas essayer un montage sur la machine car ils pensent que ce garde boue se monte mal.
Le groupe belge veut un remboursement int?gral.
De notre cot? nous leurs proposons de remplacer les gardes boue ayant ?t? cass?s et ce gratuitement bien sur, car il peut toujours y avoir
un d?faut de fabrication, mais ils ne veulent rien savoir et apr?s presque 6 mois de l'achat ils veulent ?tre rembours? ( ce qui pour nous est impossible apres si longtemps ).
De la nos amis belges contactent les FJR de France pays pour hurler contre F.S.D
Nous aurions 5 ou 6 gardes boue vendus depuis le printemps, le probl?me se poserait autrement car il se pourrait que le garde boue que nous proposons pour la FJR puisse avoir un probl?me mais cette pi?ce se vend en tr?s grand nombre et nous n'avons pas de retour n?gatif si ce n'est de ce groupe de Belgique...Nous nous sommes pench?s sur le probl?me et avons propos? des remplacements ( apr?s 6 mois de route ! )
des gardes boue ayant des probl?me dont nous ne comprenons pas la cause ( d?faut de fabrication ou d?faut de montage ) mais ces derniers ne veulent rien savoir...Donc pour le moment c'est l'impasse.
A bient?t pour un nouvel ?pisode des aventures des gardes boue FSD en Belgique !
Dear FJR-drivers from La douce France,
Here's my answer to Franck:
For a start, were the official FJR-club from Belgium, I think you know our president FJR-Freak Max, he was the one who heard and saw that a hugger from a FJR-driver was scratching and making a lot of noise while he's driving on a tour where I was also taking part.
Second, the huggers were delivered at 24/07/2006, untill november today 22/11/2006, is only 4 months, not 6 months
But you can't deny that I sent you the first complaint a few days after delivery on 26/07/2006, and I quote:
Dear Franck,
We?ve received the huggers in perfect closed parcel.
Today I tried to place the hugger model 2001-2005, but that wasn?t so easy, 3 of the 4 holes didn?t fitted perfectly and I needed to adjust them all 3.
The hole at the cardan was too small, need to make it bigger. I also need to reshape the end because it didn?t fit on the cardan. While I was screwing it on the cardan, I always touched the hugger with the key and damaged it a little bit, took it back off and adjusted it a little bit more.
There was no manual or description how to place the hugger and which screw we needed to fit the hugger at the right side, and in which hole we had to place it. Tomorrow I?m going to buy a screw with the Yamaha-dealer, and hope to place everything tomorrow evening an hope that everything fits without scrubbing.
My friend, which has the model 2006, had an even worser problem while he was trying to place his one. Not one hole fitted and his tire touched and scrubbed the hugger at the left side and it didn?t fit beautiful on the cardan (see picture). He had to adjust and reshaped your mold completely, I don?t need to say he wasn?t satisfied and I?m a little worried about the reaction from the others who has ordered the huggers. I feel responsible for their purchase and I don?t like unsatisfied friends.
Perhaps you?ve got a manual how to place both models perfectly or perhaps some close-up pictures, at the side, you can?t see anything.
This is a general remark and we hope that you?re going to consider to reshape your mold four both models and we would appreciate an answer to this mail.
You were always asking for pictures, I did deliver them to you and had to wait several days before I'd received an answer. You can ask me all the mails I did sent you, I've kept them all.
I feel responsible for the order, but if I had known that they would bring so much troubles with them, I didn't place the order. That's why we react.
And another thing, an official YAMAHA-dealer had placed one of the huggers and adviced the client, who had ordered 2 pieces, to wait to place the 2nd one. He wanted to see how the 1st hugger was going to respond on the road, and he was right, the 1st had broken on the motorway at 120-130 km/h anly a few days after placement.
We Belgians don't have 2 left hands and know to use them. If you sent a manual with your products how to place them properly, perhaps there were less e-mails spended. You're trying to let it shine through that there are only problems with the Belgians. If your product not even lasts about 1.000km, we don't have faith in the hugger, it's as simple as that.
Then you've got to take your responsibility and admit that ther's something wrong, or with the material, product, mould or whatever.
So Franck, if your product is good and the 6 replaced huggers, because 6 of 12 ordered huggers are broken, which you're going to send (without shipment costs

) are good, I'm the 1st to open a nem topic and admit that they are good.
So I'm waiting for your decision if you want to send us replacement huggers for the broken one's without extra shipment costs.
Greetings to all FJR-drivers,
