Hey guys.. I purchased a 2007 Honda Shadow 750C2 in the middle of December. Since then I have noticed that directly below the petcock there are 8 little spots on the motor. I tried to use soap and water to get them off and it has actually eaten through the finish or whatever they put on the motor. I tried to take it back where I purchased it and told them I assume the petcock leaked at one point or another and they told me sorry it wasn't leaking and that a dog most have urinated on it.. Thats the dumbest thing I have ever been told.. Dogs do not pee in drops.. I took an eye dropper and showed them that it was exactly where the petcock would have dripped from.. Didn't matter to them, they said I only had 45 days for cosmetic problems and that my warranty wouldn't cover this issue.. So after arguing with them for an hour over it.. I guess I'm stuck with it.. I'm now at the point where I want to trade it in.. I realize I'm about to take one hell of a loss in money. I paid 7300.00 and the dealer is going to give me 4750.00. However I didn't tell them about the spots on the motor. I'm not trying to be dishonest, but they are already screwing me. Does anyone have any idea what I could do to make them not so obvious? Scrubbing them only eats through the finish even more.. Thanks in advance!
