Relax

You're listening to too much BS on this forum

The bike has a 2 year warranty. They will fix it one way or another.

I agree 100% just relax until they tell you what they plan to do. Then be ready to be pissed off if needed.

I guess maybe she means the rocker arm support plate....it really inspires confidence when the fix-it shop uses incorrect or nonsensical terminology. I wish you the best of luck, man.

What it means is they are trying to talk you into some kind of repair..period.
Get some lawyer..or at least make them believe you will get one to deal with it
Then see what happens.
I wish you the best of luck as well..because that's all what's left for you.
Your failure was to ignore the oil warning and to believe the B.S about riding
home..just on some ill advice from an unknown person.
All in all..it was your own ignorance..you should have known a lot better.
I keep that up..like it or not.
