I'd take pics and email them to the dealer a.s.a.p. They're not a stand up dealer and they were going to let you leave without telling you of the damage. How do you think this would have gone for you if you didn't notice the damage until a week later? They would have totally denied doing that damage and you wouldn't have had a leg to stand on.

Really? I have a feeling that you would have a entirey different opinion if it was your bike and you just dropped $4k to $5k on new paint over the past winter. Sure **** happens ... but then **** has to be righted.

I really don't think that those of us that want to keep our rides primo, are a minority. I do my best to keep my bike as nice as possible and my buds do as well. I'm not gonna detail it after each ride but, I'm certainly not going to accept scratches in chrome and paint from having it serviced either. Nobody should IMO.

 

That just sucks. I do all my own wrenching but sh%t happens i put a small scratch on my brand new $500 chrome drive pulley when installing my new wheels and i was careful covered everything with painters tape. U cant even see it but i know its there. I almost took it back off and had it rechromed thats how **** i am about my bike but i decided not to do it

 

In five yrs I got three little marks on my bike.
Two from the first time the dealer worked on it, That I didn't notice till I got home, because I didn't check her out. And 1 I did myself coulpe yrs ago..

From that experience I learned to always go over the bike with the ticket writer and note every flaw on the bike or in the paint before they work on the bike.
I then go over the bike with the person collecting the money before I pay and note if I have any new ones.

Haven't had one since the first two. Maybe they are more careful if they know U made a list of any flaws.

But after thinking bout it, I do all of my on work and haven't had anyone do anything except tires and brakes for 3yrs now and my local INDY does those.
