After all work was finally finished I went to get my bike and first thing i noticed was a damn chip on my tank on the right side in the center and what made me madder than anything is they didn't plan on telling me. I had to bring it up or they was going to let me leave without saying a word. While i was cleaning i found another spot on my rear fender at the very back thats not easily seen, a nick in my chrome by my ignition, and a scratch on my forks. Needless to say I'm extremely angry and scared to bring it back to have them fix the tank now!!!! Just had to vent.
Dayum...I wouldnt want to deal with you. Have you any idea how dificult it is to work on a scoot without leavin a small scratch? I hate instabikers. The dealer made a mistake he'll take care of it but when ya start wrenchin your own scoot remember that chit ya just spouted, it'll come back on ya beaucoup times.
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

From: 40 miles Northeast of Indy..
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.
