couldn't tell you, my bike has never been back to the dealer since I bought it...
"GOT THAT RIGHT".....
Besides, I know this mechanic...named "Spud-something"....he is always "more than glad" to wrench on the SpudleyBusa...it's like
This guy: "Hey dude, what's she need now
"......
Me: "Uhhh..welll..she's about due for cush rubbers..I got some slack in the rear end and I know the chain is exactly where you set it at 1"....."
This guy: "Hmmmm..well sounds like you're right-on-the-mark, got 22,700 on the odometer, betcha it's time".
Me: "So where can I get a set ?"
This guy: "Well I know this guy off Hayabusa.org named Kevin, runs mrcycles.com and can get us a set at a whole lot cheaper than C.P.S. here in Las Vegas". "I'll put in the order".
Me: "Will it take long
".....
This guy: "Nope, just got a shipping confirmation...they'll be here on the 17th of October, we'll slip them in then....take about a half an hour".......
Me: "Well "shaweet" dude, you're awesome !, give me a shout when they arrive".....
This guy: "Will do, and by the way, we're running another special on labor this month just for H.O.G. Members....."
Me: "Okay, how much to put them in
"......
This guy: "Well FREE of course"
and you guys thought LAMB was the only one who could actually do the second person thing....heck I included the third as well.........
Unfortunately, a lot of shops are manned with kids that haven't got a technical clue as to what they're really doing, and those guys that are called their "Technicians" (That are actually older than 30) aren't half as acquainted with the Hayabusa as WE ARE !!!
(<--look who's back !!! Right ON !!!
) Man at this rate, this board will have the most animated emoticon assortment in the WORLD.......now how 'bout an "Elvis" Smiley ?....and thanks for "old cool"....
Find a nice independent shop that carries a good service reputation. They're around, ya just got to look beyond the Big Signs the stealerships have out front.
It's sad to hear so many stories about shops, you guys bought YOUR Busa's from, not treating ya right....what a bunch of goons. Unfortunately, MINE'S the SAME WAY.......I'll handle my own wrenching thank you.......
