Do I get nominated for sainthood?
A buddy of mine told me of a guy who wanted to sell his '94 Heritage. I said for his guy to stop over. He comes over and says, "I'm selling the bike because the local dealer told me it needed a new top end." I said, "How do you know"? He starts it and yes, the top end is "tapping" a little. So I ask him, "What do you want for it"? He says $3000 because he said the dealer was charging him $1800 for the top end and he would just as soon sell it. I asked "Who did the maintenance"? He said (with pride) "Well, the dealer did everything, including synthetic". I said "I'll tell ya what. Let me have it for a day and I'll let ya know" He said, "Good enough" (Small town) I gave him a ride back to his house and went home. Took the bike for a long ride, came home, put it in the shop, changed the oil to dino, changed the filter, took it for another ride, came back home, changed the oil & filter again, took it for another ride and viola !!!!!!! No more noise!!!
Called the guy up & said nah, I don't want it. I'll bring it back to your house. Got to his house and I said, "Take it for a ride". He started it & looked at me with a "What did you do to it look". No more tapping !!!! Runs like an Evo should. I thought he was going to offer me his wife (She is hot)
My moral of the story: DO NOT trust dealers with your Evo !!!!!!

Yes, impressive. Thanks for going out of your way to drive the point of not trusting a dealership.
