BTW, getting rid of the heel part of the shifter and going toe-only is the best way to go. That way you won't find yourself "stomping" that shifter with your heel and aggravating that seal geometry into another leak. Another plus is that your foot is no longer "trapped" in one position on the left footboard (not floorboard, bikes do not have floorboards).

Enjoy your new bike.....but I would heavily scrutinize your service techs activities. There is no reason you shouldn't be performing your own service. My bike has never been back to the dealer since the day I purchased it.
Well actually there is a very good reason he shouldn't be performing his own service. He has a PREPAID SERVICE PLAN.
