You need to find a new dealer. You can do this yourself. Not hard to do at all.

2010 Limited with some stuff

What part of DFW do you live in? I am in Ft. Worth and have a bearing puller and insertion tool. PM me if you want to get together and I'll do your bearing change.

$250 to swap bearings? You need a new shop. Find an Indy.

Not sure about ABS bike, but 6205-2rs is the one the non ABS bikes use. Any bearing supplier can measure your old ones and set you up.
