Thread: Investigating Quad Bikes

2015- trx420 are dogs compared to the older ones, we bought one brand new when we first went self employed, it was quite an investment for us but we thought we were making the right decision that would look after us in the long run.... the bloody thing lasted a grand total of about 3 hours before it was off to the shop for the first time, fried fuel pump solenoid because they put it in a stupid place right beside part of the exhaust route, they replaced it and then we had it back for about 2 weeks before it happened again, off to be repaired again and about a month later it started having electrical problems again, again related to a solenoid or similar giving up the ghost due to its placement close to exhaust. By this stage we had had enough of it because we needed to rely on it and couldnt afford to be getting stranded without a quad every other week, Honda would just keep fixing the issues but would not give us our money back and we didnt want to have to sell the bike at a loss (nor should we have had to) and we ended up making threats via a lawyer involving the consumer guarantees act as the product was not fit for purpose and was causing considerable loss of productivity , they took the piece of shit back in the end and we moved on with life but it left a bad taste in my mouth. We still run Honda 2 wheelers and bought 3 new ones this season but despite their salesman's best efforts we wont be going near any of their Quads or Side By sides again, they may have fixed the issues but were an absolute bunch of assholes leaving us in the lurch like they did with the lemon they originally sold us.
