For anyone who hasn't purchased one yet.....don't pay the extra for 2 day shipping and actually expect to get it in 2 days. Apparently 2 day shipping means 2 days after they finally decide to get off their lazy arses and send the dang thing out. And yes I'm trying extremely hard to keep this post family friendly. I got over paying 16 bucks handling charge for a friggin manual but am I asking too much asking for the shipping that I paid for??? I paid the 30 bucks cause I knew weekend was coming. It's gonna be after the weekend anyways now. Okay rant is over. Time to send them some not so family friendly feedback.

I'm having trouble with Helm too.
They eventually sent a replacement for my manual that was missing pages but they didn't pay Fedex. So Fedex sent me the invoice.
I've called Helm 3 times to fix it (and they say they will) but today I had to pay Fedex as they are at the point of hiring a collection agency.

I should not have to pay twice for shipping when the product was defective. AxxHxxxs

Thats not cool a bit.
Yeah - I just realized that its not the $30 that bothers me but the fact they are stringing me along and wasting my time.

They just made "The List" - LOL.

I hear ya man. It's not so much the price, it's the service that matters to me. And I do expect what I pay for. Not asking too much IMO.

What pages are missing ? Just so I can double check my manual.

Surprised that the manual isn't available in DVD or for download... I've found Honda's manuals to be good for their 2-wheeled products, hoping the same for this. Can't imagine owning a machine like this and not having a manual.

I heard somewhere that honda didn't actually make this manual. I can believe it cause it's more owner friendly than factory manuals that I own. I always preferred Clymers to factory. Much better explanation and diagrams.

Hoping to get the manual soon, as I've started wrenching already... The machine is simple enough, but I do like to have a good manual for reference.

Ask them if it's a copy? And if it is, is it an authorized copy?

I bought mine from Helm and had no issues other than it took a little while.
Did you do 2 day shipping? That's only beef I had with them. I paid for 2 day shipping and that's what I expected. When it took longer, no apology or refund or anything.

No, I just did the standard shipping. I've learned from amazon that 2 day shipping means that it'll be 2 days after they decide to ship.

I've had the exact opposite experience with Amazon lol. Been a Prime member over a year now and they've yet to take more than 2 days getting something to me.

Wow that is so wierd that 2 people can have such different experiences. That's one reason I don't pay too much attention to reviews.
