2006 SG...

Just had Cam Bearings replaced under warranty, bike had 29.7k on it when they failed, the cam tensioners were in great shape, they looked like they could have gone another 30k without a problem.

Took the dealer aboutthree days to figure out where the noise was coming from and then a day to get the parts and install, I asked if I could have SE203's installed and pay for the differencebut the lead tech said that he didn't want me to get into warranty issues later on?

When I went to pick the bike up I was handed a bill for $80 bucks? They said that the oil and filter arenot covered under warranty...so lets see; cam bearings failed under waranty and put metal debris inMY oil and filter AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT?

Anyone else have cam bearing failures under 50k? I thought88 Twin Camwas a 100k engine? I'm startin' to have my doubts...[:'(]

 

Eighty bucks for oil and a filter?
Chrome filter $14.95 and 4 qts.20/50 HD360 @ $4.95 a qt. = $80?????
Must have charged labor also!Oh,I fogot the O-rings.

 

Oil and filter must be changed due to the chance of metal in the oil. I think I would have to call bullsh*t on the dealer on this one and call the HD head office.

 

Man you got off with 80 buck, it could have been worse so be happy

 

Considering a typical oil change at a dealership runs about $250, that ain't bad

That is crap, the failure of there product under warrenty caused problems with another part of the bike (oil and filter) and as such should be replaced at there cost under there warranty.

Why should he be happy? A screw job is still a screw job no matter if it is only $80. That's why the stealer's get away with **** because there are too many people out there who accept this bullshit from the stealer's.

 

uh, $250 for an oil and filter change? that cant be right.

 

my local stealer: fluids changed/new filter, Plus their exclusive 40 point safety inspection = 238.00

that's why i do my own maintenance.
