Spyder Alignment-Refused

[bikerchris1270]

Anybody encounter a Dealer that has refused to perform an alignment due to Aftermarket Tires mounted......outside of warranty of course?
OEM sized tires......just ask’n if this situation has been encountered.

 

[Possible]

OEM size of aftermarket tire? Or different size of aftermarket tire?

Sounds like a dealer that has so much business that he can be selective and cherry pick the jobs he wants.

Tire size/aftermarket should not be an issue. In all the years we have been on the site, I know of NO dealer being sued for dealing in or around aftermarket tires. It is used an a weak excuse IMO. The real reason is lazy, lazy, lazy.

Find another dealer that wants your business.

Aftermarket tires of the same or similar dimension would have no affect on alignment. This dealer simply found a unique way to say no. It had nothing to do with the tires.

I've heard of some really ridiculous statements coming out of service manager's mouths, that one just about tops the list.

That would be the last time I would use that dealer. Plenty of others out there that will align the Spyder.

Did you ask him to do an alignment, or a laser alignment? If you asked him to do a laser alignment he may not have had any idea what you were referring to so he conjured up an excuse to cover up his ignorance. From what has been discussed here not very many dealers can or will do a laser alignment. It's been OK'd by BRP, but not mandated by them.

When people show up with after market wheels my lasers don’t fit, I just install a set of stockers, align it, and swap back. The dealer has no clue. Find another!
