Default New Engine Installed- It's Alive

Got her back today rode about 60 miles. Tomorrow all day ride if I can. So far all is great, nothing leaking, runs strong. Need to see on a long ride tomorrow to feel real confident in it again. I asked for free 1000mi checkup and service for my 18 day ordeal and they said for sure yes. That helps relieve some pain and suffering right, not to mention saving $300-$400

Good for you, glad they did the right thing, replacing the engine, and a free 1K is always good.

Glad it worked out. It seems to be that is the norm with the bikes that have had issues despite the numerous negative Nancies on this forum that insist you got screwed sideways.

Good looking bike. It looks like you have a handful of add ons on it.
