Unhappy Have I been sold a donkey?

Yes. I Have concerns.

The bike was sold to me as being in showroom condition, only been ridden in the dry, by a regular customer who changes his bike every year or so and has something different.

Whilst looking over the bike originally, I noticed that the back LH indicator was broken...or rather the number plate mount, onto which the indicator is attached. "He must have caught it on something". They replaced this before I finally purchased the bike.

However, today I notice two things.

1/ The RH rear indicator, is very loose, and filling full of road toot and moisture - I think its broken where the body of the indicator joins the more flexible stem...now wouldn't you think they would notice that whilst rebuilding it with the new number plate mount!!!


AND REALLY WORRYING...

2/ the gear shift has a load of play. The spline itself moves in and out of the casing by 2-3mm, and the lever itself is loose on the spline, exagerating the movement even more. I went to at least tighten the lever clamp, and I can't get it any tighter.



What are people's thoughts? KEV HELP PLEASE!??
