Well, at least you will have your bike back soon! Panels will be an easy fix, 30 minute job maximum, whenever they arrive. Your experience has completely put me off from buying an F3 to be honest, it did cross my mind at some point but I think I will go for a Panigale instead when the time comes. I appreciate you taking the time to upload these videos, very helpful. Hopefully the shop will make up for the mistake and give you a good deal on your next bike!
Glad you enjoyed the videos. Yes, it's hard for me to recommend MV Agusta to people because their customer service is so poor. I say only get one if you REALLY want it (and it's under warranty!) because your love for the bike has to outweigh the hassle of dealing with them once you have a problem. Good luck with whatever bike you decide to get!
@@amv_moto watch out with the colour of those panels as well, you don’t want to have the same issue as with the fuel tank. Make sure MV send the right ones ! Although it is MV, they will end up doing whatever they feel like...
I used to own a Ducati and I’m 100% sure customer service will be better and parts delivery will be faster than MV - if you care about things like that. The Panigale is a sweet bike. Enjoy!
Bikes get dropped. It really sucks but it's part of ownership given enough time. What the dealership does to make it right is what's important and it sounds like they're going to do what it takes and it sounds like you've got the right attitude about it. Good luck with everything!
Mate.. this whole saga has put me off buying an MV Superveloce. Same bike different clothes. I am going for a third Ducati. Thanks for sharing your experience. ❤👍🇬🇧
Glad you found the video helpful. Yeah I really can’t recommend people get an MV Agusta unless it’s something you REALLY want. If you do happen to have a problem, MV can be a pretty miserable company to deal with. I tell people to save yourself the potential headache and get a V2.
FYI. The engine of the 2021 f3 or superveloces are improved from this. They changed the valves and a bunch of other internal parts of the engines, now they are very reliable.
Sheesh. the saga continues. Hoping its just happy trails for you going foward. you've more than paid your dues. My F3 might be going to pro italia this month for a sprag clutch. almost didn't start last week riding home from errands, now i'm scared to get stranded. Might go to OC motorycle instead now.
I've had good luck with Pro Italia over the years. Just some bad luck this time. Mistakes happen. But I have heard good things about OC. It's just a major hike for me to go down there. Since it took a month for my sprag clutch to come in, if you're off warranty I'd recommend buying one before it fails, that way you're not down for an extended time waiting for it to come in from MV. Good luck with your F3!
Sucks about your bike man. I’ve done business with proitalia and I can honestly say they are the best in the business. When I had a issue they immediately gave me a solution and stood behind there product. Hope to see that F3 back in action soon. Ride safe brother!
Yes, I've been taking bikes to them for years and have always had a good experience. Just bad luck this time. Looking forward to finally getting the bike back though.
Man.. sorry to hear that. I hope it is less than it sounded. Keep it positive. I dropped my f3 while standing to check the map. It happens, but keep it positive!
Such bad luck with the bike and the dealership, hope they can regain the trust of handling your bike(s). Good to see you riding and enjoying your silver F4 750. Owning MVs will always be an 'unique experience' and not always in the best sense, but then again if we wanted it to be a Honda we would've bought one.
Yes, my F3 feels cursed but I'm hoping that I've gotten all the bad luck out of the way! So true, MV's are definitely a "unique experience". For sure - if you want less ownership drama - get a Honda!
Damn, its a good thing you are getting your F3 back soon, sucks that Pro Italia made that mistake though, but shit happens sadly. Im coming up on my 15k mile service soon, i been putting crazy miles on my MV like crazy haha. I seen a 2020 F3 (White & grey color) at a bike meet i was at this week. It was super nice. Felt good having my F4 & his F3 at the meet, it gets lonley in the MV world sometimes haha.
I've never had any problems with Pro Italia. Just bad luck this time. Not the end of the world though. Just looking forward to riding it again. Glad to hear you're putting the miles on your F4. Always good to see these bikes getting ridden!
@@amv_moto yea man, F3 is a great bike. & you right its not thr end of the world, what matters is that you are getting it back. & oh yea, i ride my bike every single day hahaha.
No, yours is cursed. Not F3 in general. Ya can't have an F4 and an F3 and not expect one Italian lover to throw a tantrum. They have feelings ya know!!!
Ha! Yes, that's what I meant - MY F3 is cursed but I know a lot of people have no problems with theirs. I've had almost no problems with the F4 so clearly I was pushing my luck getting the F3 too. I should have quit while I was ahead!
When I worked at bike shops we affectionately called the guys who moved and washed bikes "lot lizards". After you meet a few the reference makes sense.
Hello from Portugal. My bike a Brutale 800 is 30 days in the workshop waiting for parts from Italy, and it's not an engine, it's the temperature sensor and the bendix. Good luck!
I was following your story with great interest as I was looking at buying a dragster. Well, I am not looking at it any more. If all that happened to me I would definitely sue them and ask for money back.
I haven't heard of major engine problems with the Dragsters so you'd probably have better luck than my cursed F3. But the problem is when you do have a problem MV Agusta's parts delivery is so slow and their customer service is so bad it might sour you on the whole experience.
Yeah, but that is exactly it. If things go bad I would have to wait months before I get to ride again. MV dragster is the most beautiful bike ever made for me, but MV's customer service makes it not viable. All of what you are going through AFTER their big "change" and promise to improve on quality and customer service...
Greetings from the UK. You have definitely been unlucky and frankly, I would ask for a new replacement bike under a goodwill warranty claim and if they don't then threaten legal action with all the negative publicity that would bring for the MV brand. I'm surprised MV themselves or the dealer have not intervened yet. I also think that the unfortunate guy at the dealer maybe needed more training before allowing him to deal with customers bikes. Hope you find a good outcome soon.
Thanks. Yes, I thought about getting legal with them but considering the way MV Agusta deals with customers, I just didn't want to get bogged down in arbitration for months and months. I just want a bike to ride and it sounds like I'll finally get to ride it soon. I'm hoping my luck takes a turn for the better.
Pity about the bike being dropped, but i like ur attitude towards it. Mistakes do happen. I kinda wish they didnt fire the guy tho - they cud have reorganised and given him less dangerous tasks while he grows in the position. I dont think anyone got the job of shop assistant becos they were proficient at everything. Thats usually the Manager. Looking forward to seeing u on the bike . I'm watching this space 😜
Yes, I'm trying to have a good attitude about it. It could have been worse. It doesn't help anything to blow up at them. Mistakes happen. It sounds like the shop tried to help the guy get another job after they let him go, so I think he'll be OK. Looking forward to riding the bike again soon!
Mmm 4 hour wait at my MV dealership just for a 1st service oil change hopefully I don’t visit them often I’m carefully watching your experience good luck 🤞 tho 🇬🇧
Olympic Blvd? Also, law of averages, Pro Italia handles a lot of bikes so it would happen. Good news is panel replacement should be easier/quicker than the engine. I think Pro Italia could give you a good deal on a new bike. Maybe this would be a good time to talk to Bill on a new bike. ;)
Exactly - law of averages. I've been taking bikes there for years and I'd guess they probably service 1000+ bikes/year. I just drew the short straw this time. Mistakes happen. I'm just excited to ride the bike soon.
Me alegro que les haya gustado el video. Algunas personas tienen buena suerte con MV Agusta, pero otras no tienen más que mala suerte. Si no quieres arriesgarte, compra una moto japonesa.
Como tal que mala suerte y peor por que tengo entendido que la fabrica en Italia esta en cuarentena por ende no están despachando repuestos, tengo mi f3 675 ya llevo 2 años con ella y todo marcha bien
I'm curious about your new engine and what updates its expected to have? The fact it was dropped at the dealer is unacceptable, glad they were honest about the situation at least.
Yes, I'm interested in the differences too. I know it's Euro 4 vs. the silver engine's Euro 3 and has the improved valves and sprag clutch. Looking forward to trying it out soon! Hopefully I have better luck ahead.
3:36 I also wonder how long would take if you're weren't recording all what you did. I plan to buy one someday, but I'll probably use it to quick rides because this whole saga scared me lol
Good luck if you buy one. Hopefully you'll get a good one and not a lemon like mine. It's a great bike when it's running - just make sure you have a backup for when it's not.
Really MV deserved to be handed the lemon Law. You made a mistake not implementing it. You already told us how long they take at every instance. This was the moment to justify that law. MV need absolutely to get their act together on customer service!!
I thought about it but knowing MV Agusta they way I know them, I'm 100% sure they'd drag this out in arbitration and it would be months and months before this got resolved. I want a bike to ride now not a year from now so I haven't gone that route. But if there's another major problem, the bike is still under warranty so I'd still have that option.
Mine is definitely a lemon but if you search "MV Agusta F3 valve failure" on the MV forum you will find many other F3 675/800 riders who've had their engines fail. That being said, there are F3 owners who have few problems with their bikes. So it really seems to be random good luck or bad luck. Hope your bike stays problem-free.
I would not advise anyone buy an MV Agusta unless it's something you REALLY want. Their customer service is horrible and their parts delivery is sloooow so if you do have a problem, your love for the bike better outweigh the hassle of dealing with MV. I would not buy a silver-engined F3. The newer black engines are supposed to be more reliable. I would not buy a used MV off warranty unless you don't plan to ride the bike very often. Check the MV forum and talk to a mechanic at the shop you plan to get it serviced at. There are F3 owners who will tell you they've ridden their bikes and had no problems and they'll tell you not to worry about it but that is obviously not my experience. Good luck with whatever you decide!
I'm thinking about buying a Superveloce, I dont ride but about 3k miles a year but I also dont want my bike to be in the dealership half the time. Any idea on the Superveloce?
I haven’t heard much about the Superveloces but they are basically F3s with different bodywork. So I’m guessing owners will have to deal with all the same problems F3 owners have to deal with. I’d definitely check out the MV forum to see what other owners are saying. But if you decide to get one, get the extended warranty!
This is not a MV story, it’s more like a horror story........ Before was some possibility to buy a MV now it’s none...... that is beyond any story I ever heard..... why not just file for Lemon law abs get over with? They will have to give you a new F3 anyways....
I decided not to get legal because knowing MV Agusta the way I do, they'll draw the arbitration out for months and months and I just want a bike to ride now - not a year from now. Hopefully my luck changes for the better and I'm looking forward to riding the bike soon!
I was going to get a 675 or 800... I live in Ottawa, Canada. Would be hell getting fixed. Also fuck these bikes. Year 2021 these guys STILL have calculator cluster...wtf
I made several comments on your other mv vids. Im following this since im so close at getting a 2014 f3 800. Can you just tell me to avoid and ill do it, man! The owners here beem telling me its not honda, yamaha reliable but still liveable. Im in the Philippines. No dealer support here unlike ducati.
If you can afford one this means you have spare money or a really good warranty which will honor service issues. Still a fun bike but make sure the dealer and their service record are up to the challenge of providing good support if and when you need it. If buying an MV will require spending your life savings, then yes, get the Honda ;-).
My advice? Don't buy the bike. 1) I would not recommend a silver-engined F3 800, based on my experience. Buy a newer black-engined model which is supposed to be more reliable (but we'll see) 2) If you have no dealer support, you will have a lot of aggravation trying to get it serviced - especially if something serious goes wrong. 3) You won't have a warranty. However, if you're feeling lucky, you really want the bike and you have a backup bike to ride when it's down - go for it.
@@amv_moto thanks for the insights. So far here i only see silver engines for sale since official dealer left the poor mv owners around 2015 to hide from smuggling cases against him.
Man, I don't know how you can do it... Could be my age and therefor lack of tolerance in abysmal engineering but I could not and would not tolerate owning any over priced Italian garbage. Seriously! How can you get by each day knowing that this is the norm with these extremely unreliable machines?? Sure they look nice on a pedestal but that's it!! Drop them all and get something Japanese and just ride and enjoy knowing no more BS!
Definitely, I tell anyone thinking about an MV - you'd better be patient and have a high tolerance for BS, in order to deal with MV Agusta. Otherwise, save yourself the hassle and get a Honda.
I've heard the Brutale's don't have snapped-valve problems nearly as frequently because those engines aren't in the same high state of tune as the F3's. But I'd definitely check out what Brutale owners are saying on the MV forums. Whatever you do, I'd advise getting an extended/after-market warranty if you plan to actually ride the bike a decent amount. Good luck if you decide to get one!
Well, at least you will have your bike back soon! Panels will be an easy fix, 30 minute job maximum, whenever they arrive.

This is a series of horror stories, all regarding one bike. You have my sympathy bud.

MV Agusta F4 750 - which unlike my F3 has been one of the most reliable bikes I've ever owned.

You have had more problems with your MV than I had with nearly 30 years of Laverdas.
That F3 is definitely proving me to be a glutton for punishment.
I’m been looking all the videos from you and I think that F3 is cursed. I’m planning on buying an F3 675, 2012 with 8300 km, you think is worth it?

I've heard the Brutale's don't have snapped-valve problems nearly as frequently because those engines aren't in the same high state of tune as the F3's. But I'd definitely check out what Brutale owners are saying on the MV forums. Whatever you do, I'd advise getting an extended/after-market warranty if you plan to actually ride the bike a decent amount. Good luck if you decide to get one!
@@amv_moto yes planning to own it but little bit scared 🤣 dealer said only 6months warrenty and it is not extendable.
Sell me your F4?
Ha! The F4 will literally be the last possession I’ll sell. But if you’re patient you can make an offer to my heirs in about 50-60years when I’m gone.
Just dump the MV and get BMW. Much more reliable bike.
