Maybe that's why so much crap on mine was still loose when I got it back. The egg timer went off and they stopped working on it. ;)

:indian_chief:

Forget the exact book time allowed, but it was something like 4 hours & believe mine took about 6.  Had an O2 sensor not plugged in - no biggie. Figure if the tech is getting paid for 4 & working 6+, it kinda stalls his incentive to do a stellar job.....

On my bike it seems that the alloted time was five hours, and the service manager said they could never finish it within the Moco allotment.

That's the trouble with some of these warranty jobs - nobody including us ends up all that happy about it.


Better to get it done right from the factory.

Talked to the dealer on Monday their ordering new cylinders, heads, pistons, rings, and gaskets. my is leaking for the second time in 16K They also told me that there is no difference in the 07A gasket to the 07B gasket. They said something about a year change or something? I just hope they get it fixed for the last time now.  no leaks please!

Well I'm on a road trip and now with 13k on my new motor it has started to leak - not much but some oil on the cylinder.  So I await the 'fix' also.  What about the new cylinder head mentioned in another post?  My first motor went out because of rear cyl exhaust valve guide so this is some improvement.  Now if they'll just get a new cylinder we should be good to go.  Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best. :2vrolijk_21:

My first motor went out for the valve guide too, and my new little leak (at 9k on the 2nd motor) is a little one too, so our bikes are leading parallel lives... :-)

Not only that Jim - I think the engineers for the 110 must be in a parallel universe that is 180 degrees out of phase with ours!

And the factory test riders who logged those tens of thousands of miles in hostile environments like death valley!  ;)
