into-motorbikes ebay? (rant)

[Colinzor]

Hi everyone

Anyone had any experience buying from into-motorbikes on ebay? im fairly fuming, my kawasakis coils were fooked, so i got a new set of 4 from the company off ebay with warranty, 2 days the coils were in and the bike ran fine now the bike runs like a tractor as one of the coils has gone faulty and is dropping a cylinder, the companty have agreed to replace it no problem but they want the old coil back first.

the problem i have with this is because of the faulty coil i am not mechanical at all and have to use my local mechanic to find out which coil it is, give it to me to send back then wait for them to replace it and then take it back to him to put into the bike but insetad of them just sending me a replacement coil to swap straight out, im out time and money with extra labour ect to replace this part.

Also i have had to cancel a cycle race marshall job i had lined up for this weekend for extra cash as the bike isnt suitable to do it now, so im out quite a bit of cash because of this. I can understand WHY they wont send me another coil before reivceving their old one back but surely they could help me out with this as its their fault. all they offer me is to swap it out and wait for the replacement coil or to buy a new coil and they will refund once they recieve the faulty one but i had to buy those on a card and dont have the money for that at the moment things are quite tight.

Well, it's fairly standard practice for a seller to not issue a refund or replacement until they've received the defective part back.

Replacing a coil on a z750 is A quick job for even someone that doesn't know what a spanner is. Figuring out which one is faulty is a 5 minute job.

I'd be tempted to start learning how to look after certain parts of your bike yourself. You'll only feel better for it in the long run.

Start the bike, give it 30 seconds then spray a bit of water on the exhaust headers, the one that doesn't give steam off/boil the water is the one with the faulty coil.

Takes less than 2 minutes to figure it out.

its dropping then firing then droppign then firing, so the pipe is still getting somewhat hot if that makes sense?
