I took my bike in for a oil leak and a leaky fork seal. The oil leak is from a broken clutch cable where it goes into the tranny. The warranty is paying for another braided cable which is cool because I figured they would cover a stock cable and I would have to pay the difference.
As far as the forks I'm paying out of pocket to have the seal and oil replaced on the side that isn't leaking and warranty is covering the leaky side. I decided to go ahead and have them put some new cowbells on and I'm bringing them some high polished lowers I picked up on eBay while they have it apart anyway. I would have polished mine but for $158 on eBay without exchange what the hell. I can always polish mine later and put them on eBay and get my money back. I opted for polished over chrome because my last bike had chrome and ended up pitting from all the abuse our bikes take up front on the road. At least with polished you can just rub it out.
