Rust after 4 days

[Stay Hazed]

I got a new bike 4 days ago, it got slightly wet on delivery as it was raining, then 10 minutes yesterday when I got caught in it.

Now I'm not one to pick things out usually, but my bike has rust on the brake side foot peg and on the foot plate. It's only surfact rust which I'm sure will come off, but the bike being 4 days old I'm wondering.

It's a Pulse Adrenaline 125 (I love everything else about the bike, 270km in, don't get me wrong). I got it brand new, with 3 years parts and labour warranty. I haven't spoken to the dealer yet as I only noticed it this morning. Will this sort of thing be covered over warranty, ie, will they replace the rusty parts? The bike is kept in the garage at night.

Pulse Adrenaline 125, China?

It is chinese, I'd expect a years use before parts literally break off.

Try using some ACF50

Didn't anyone tell you?

They're cheap for a reason you know.

Did you purchase such a steed from a Devine bloke named Victor?

It may be Chinese, but that's no excuse. Retailer selling a product that is fit for purpose. One that rusts in UK after 4 days is not in any way fit for purpose.

Back to the dealer surely!

I realise that it's a bit late now but in future you need to remember that you will have fewer problems if you purchase bikes that are manufactured in either Germany, Japan, Austria or South Korea.

To be honest the dealer will just clean it off and tell you everything is fine & dandy, I know it isn't what you want to hear, but you're just going to have to accept what you have bought and start to protect it yourself,
Take the peg off, rub it down and give it a few coats of enamel paint
give the bike a good dowsing in AC50 or F365

Spoke to my dealer this morning and he's replacing the rusty bits with new parts and supplying me with some ACF50. I guess that'll help!!

Hi guys,

The dealer is Shropshire Motorcycles, the guy I speak to is called Tom.
https://www.shropshiremotorcycles.co.uk/

Got a good deal from what I've seen online, Bike, brand new incl registration tax etc, few litres of fuel, jacket, trousers, helmet (which they changed to suit the bike), gloves, delivery to my work on the selected day I chose, £1549.

Always reply straight away to emails and more than happy to help with anything I've asked. Perfect for my first brand new bike.

[Rogerborg]

Cheers, chap, all round.

Haters will hate, but you could do worse than a Pulse / Lexmoto, and that's a good resolution.

I do hope Honda are taking note.

To be honest I did read and read about Chinese bikes, but I guess until I had one I'd never quite know what to believe. I had a XR 125 prior to this, 9 years old. 05 plate, done the job but I wanted that 'supermoto' style rather than trail. I love the Pulse, even if the bars are relatively low (i'm 6ft 2) so getting the MX style bars fitted and one of Lexmoto's exhaust, the standard is very quiet. The dealer is happy to fit all this for me, I'd rather have them do it and keep my warranty. Really do reccomend Shropshire Motorcycles!

They appear to have a Facebook.

It's almost sad that an expected level of customer service has actually been attained and everyone is jumping for joy about it.

That being said, Shropshire Motorcycles do deserve praise for sorting it and quickly**


Top job guys, you've outshone Honda ***



** assuming it all pans out as stated.

*** an eclipse of the sun could have outshone Honda

Its probably made from cheese as well,give it 6 months and it will have melted away.
