In response to the OP I sold auto parts for 10 years so I completely understand the issue, a lot of people think parts are for "testing" and some have no business turning wrenches. As far as the ball busting over the grammar I think it is a product of winter and less riding time.

I have found that the uneducated usually blame these situations on others, rather than accept the fact that there are the Village Idiot! L.ray

OK how's this for admissions of being guilty of STUPID. When installing a clutch cable on a XLH, snug the fitting at the case. DO NOT PLAY GORILLA MAN. When removing shift lever do not attempt to pry the lever open. Use alternate method of applying penetrant and moving lever back and forth on shaft. Prying lever apart causes profane language and unnecessary cost. Bet, ya'll can't guess how I know. The thing I can't figure out is if he was mad at the dealer cause he was the rube, or if he worked for the dealer and was tired of rubes bringing stuff in after thet screwed it up?

I was born and raised in Northwest Arkansas, then 35 years in Northern Michigan, finally got down here to 'Gods' country, but I still understood exactly what 'hilbily' was saying. Some of you guys disappoint me sometimes with your pettiness. Especially to new members... they haven't even been here long enough to know which jerk is which

“Guy makes a comment and gets 22 posts back on his punctuation. Yes, I agree that people need to take more responsibility for what they do to the bike. If you do not understand what you are working on, hire a pro. JMO.”

“they can be real jerks around here”

Don’t worry about the punctuation, only a “wannabe” would pick apart a bikers typing.
