Manufacturers Defect or not?
« on: June 19, 2010, 10:33:57 AM »
Hi All
  I've complained about this to my dealer and all they said it that this happens to all bikes and scooters, my response to them was  this shouldn't happen perion and I want it replaced under warranty, Keep in mind my Yager is roughly 2 months old and garage kept and the dealer is reluctant to do anything. I would like your opinions on what I should do: A-Continue trying to work with the dealer -OR- B-Go straight to the manufacturer.

Which is of course nonsense.
Looks like inserted under tension and with some bad luck may break .
I'd have looked at the other bikes at the dealers store and let him take a look by himself.

Look into the center of the head lamp, you'll notice some hazing or de-lamination. I believe this is being caused by the heat of halogen lamp.

Yes it is, It's the same one that came with the scooter when I bought it new two months ago.

Looks like a defect in materials or workmanship, and your dealer sucks. Time to call the manufacturer.

...thanx inferno!!

 ;D

..i think it's your best bet..mention your posts on this forum when you speak to them...give them the url, even...

..and, i hate to say it, but rat out your dealer too..not sure if that lens cover is laminated, but it should be designed to withstand the heat of the halogen OEM lamp...


peace

I called Prospect twice about a month and a half ago still waitin on a call back.
As far as the headlight goes I have an 04 vitality and drive through brooklyn every day for about two months now and mine is crystal clear. I had the bright light turned on until 1 week ago, did not realize 
it was on but the lens looks brand new. just my 2 cents
