Just a note for this thread,,, every time U take U bike in... Have the service writter note all flaws of Ur bike,,, then go over her when there done working on her...
that way there's no argument as to any new flaws....

Brought my car to Hyundai for an oil change. Got it back, there was a scratch on the door. Of course they deny & I can't prove. So, instead of paying $600+ to have the door repainted, I bought 2 "Elantra" badges that are on the trunk lid from the factory, and put them on the door, as the scratch was in the front leading edge, where lots of automakers put their model designation badges. made 'em pay fior it!

the last shop i worked at,once a week a bike would come in,have something broke or scratched,i would do the asked repair,then get blamed for the damage.. it got to where i would take pictures before i touched it,and/or get the service manager and another tech to look at it first.. about once a month i would still get blamed even thou i had a witness and pics before i worked on it..i was terrified to touch anything,one of the biggest reasons i stopped wrenching..people think the shop is picking up the repairs when they slip something thru.. a lot of the times it falls on the tech that is only making $8-10 an hour
Anyway I have a douchebag now who came in for a noise I told him from the first time what it was, he doesnt want to spend money to replace that part so I send him on his way, he comes back noise still there. Yep, would you like to replace said part now? No I think its this part instead replace that. OK I replace that, noise still there. Now I somehow did something that caused the noise, even though the first time I ever touched the bike was to diagnose the noise. He damages the part I told him was bad admits he damaged it, we still payed to replace it lol. I scratch **** or damage **** once in a while, it sucks. If its a clean bike thats taken care of the guy usually acts like it the end of the world, and doesnt understand its a production bike and everything can be replaced. If its a turd he usually laughs then I laugh and I tell him Ill see you at your next tensioners

Just had my dealer do the wiring and install of oil press sending unit for my new Dead Center fairing. Rode it a bit and found sending unit was dripping oil. Dealer fixed no prob. Rode it home and noticed a couple scratches on the gas tank so I went back. Service manager looked at it and asked if I was getting the fairing painted. I said yes and he said they would pay the painter to fix it or if I wanted to they would take care of it after the season. My choice and no hassle. Coziahr HD in Decatur is a great dealer. Scratches are real small and Im gonna get the whole bike painted after the season but the treatment from my dealer was great. By the way every time I've picked up my bike no matter what they do Its been detailed.
