does the lemon law apply to

motorcycles? We live in california. The bike is a 2005 kawasaki 250. It only had 240 miles on it when we got it. It broke down the first time 3 days after we got it. It came with a full warranty so they "fixed" it. It broke 3 days later same problem. Then 2 times since. We have had it less than a month and it's broken 4 times or more times if you count how many times it's just died on the side of the road and would actually restart for another 2 minutes. What are our rights? We asked them about returning or exchanging it for one that worked and they told us we were stuck with it and they would fix it again... they haven't and my husband is refusing to ride it because he's almost been thrown over the handlebars twice. It just keeps dying, they said it was gas, they said it was a crip in the fuel line, electrical, manufactured that way. All Crap.And for bad publicity sake-the shop is Quincy's on main in El Cajon, CA -by san diego.Don't ever shop there,their bikes are crap and the service is worse

You need to check your local laws. The lemon law normally does not cover used vehicles but that is in Florida. See if you can find an answer here. This is for the CA attorney general.http://ag.ca.gov/consumers/general/lemon.php

full warranty means the unit can be replaced with a completely new one when it is found with a factory defect. maybe you need to insist and enforce the warranty or better yet examine the provisions of the warranty that the unit came with.

Google Lemon law California and you will get all the info you need. Start with a letter to the manufacturers USA offices letting them know you are filing a Lemon law claim and the reasons and that you want to talk to a representative. Copy the law as an attachement so they know you know what it is about. Relate the specific law issues (IE three attempts to repair with no resolution, 30 total days in repair for the same problem, etc.)Document all conversations with notes and be sure to have all repair receipts. Ask your repair shop for copies before taking any actions.New Motor Vehicle Board 916-445-1888 handles lemon claims for MCs.Also use this link:http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/fo...n+lawBasically follow his steps and apply it to your situation. Good luck.
