I had them put the syn in at the 1000. Thanks to this forum and a good mech I figured out I made a mistake. They did my 5000 and told me to try the Redline stuff in the trans. I was making noise at 2000-5000 miles. Comp sounded real bad. N was impossible to find at times. Sound went away and bike made alot less noise as to pretend it was was running better. Just an after thought for ya!

 

Yes, most of them are pathetic in the extreme.

Sounds like you learned a valuable piece of information without them doing any actual damage to your bike - unlike many others.

Congrats on that, ya lucked out and got off easy!

 

I have to agree with you...the tech, I'm sure didn't check to see where the EITMS was set (or any other setting that the battery disconnect would affect) and it's easy enough to change over to the opposite state anyway...not the techs responsibility to get into that detail...

However I would have thought that the service people would have thought to mention the EITMS having defaulted to "on" to the OP when he complained, instead of just blowing him off...

 

i hear you but I would think that when I brought it back they would have known what was causing the issue. I am not blaming the tech, I was just surprised that they didn't figure it out when I brought it back. the guys on here knew it immediately without even seeing the bike. The GM of the dealership called me today and apologized. he admitted that they are having problems getting their service dept up to snuff. he handled it well..

 

Ahh, the tried and true call from the GM with some butt fluffing and throwing someone else under the bus, works every time
