Took my bike in to a dealer a week ago today for a shift shaft seal leak.The seal was replaced about 10000 miles ago by another dealer under the factory warranty.
Yesterday the dealer called and said they should have the seal finished today.Well the SW called and said the tech found a nick on the shaft that was most likely caused from the prior replacement.Now they have to call again to get authorization to go into the tranny under the extended warranty.

 

Whats the punch line?

 

Just venting.
I guess the punch line(point)is not haveing my bike, techs that should not working on bikes and if this will be covered.

 

Did they first call and say it was gonna be ready and then contact you about the nick on the shaft? I wonder if they found the nick after THEY put it there. Guess it doesn't matter as long as YOU don't have to pay for it.

 

If they have to replace the shaft, perfect time for a 6 speed if you want one. Free labor!

 

Shift shaft seal leak, try saying that 3 times fast.

 

I work in the engineering department at a shipyard. You would be surprised at all the broken things our mechanics "find" when they are working on systems. We get reports daily that say "During installation of cable 'found' broken pin on connector". That's just the way it goes when people work on things that are not their own.

 

I second that. If the labor is covered it would be an excellent time to upgrade!!! Rethy

 

Also, unless you already have it on the bike, no extra labor for a chrome inner-primary. I did mine when the seal was replaced and it really looks good.

 

Mars, retired from shipyard.Most often damage was caused by poor engineering instructions(LOL)
