  • Big Dog is a JOKE
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jul 06, 2009

    Broken down on the side of the road on a sunday afternoon wasn't what I intended when I purchased my 05' Ridgeback brand new from the big dog dealer. With only 1500 miles on the bike you would think a bike costing in excess of $30K would be if not reliable,big dog would stand behind the problem. ...

    Purchased the bike new as a leftover in 06', the dealer and big dog refused to cover the "push rod disconnecting" regardless of the fact that the bike only had 1500 miles on it. It was about 6 months past the warranty.

    After speaking to S&S, I was told that big dog assembled that engine, and they obviously didn't assembe it correctly if the adjusting nut came off of the push rod. So, I was left to tow the bike home, then the dealer, then pay for the repair. Big dog is a joke....
