Mission accomplished         

Thanks Bud!

The truth is the truth!
************************

And Hoist,
If you think the Motor Company or anyone is scared of you or what you say, , , don't flatter yourself!
My point is that with all the trash you talk about the Motor Company it will be interesting when you eat your words and go to a Harley shop to have anything done or checked out. I wish you luck when that happens.

 

[Hoist!]

Knew it wouldn't last. And you wouldn't know sacrcasm if it smacked you in the head! You're so full of yourself, you couldn't hold back f'ing with me again! So much for the truce. It was so much more pleasant for everyone when you ignored me. Now it's time to go back to disturbing all these nice people here cause I told you before I won't put up with your BS anymore! Quiet for over a month though. Man, that musta killed ya! But I guess you were really just concerned about my welfare, and are so worried I might not get decent service from one of these guys someday! Thanks pal!

Yeah, I guess I'm just too stupid to keep my mouth shut in fear of what a dealer might do someday. After all, ya'll noticed my pic on every dealer's wall. Top 10 most wanted HD critics! We all can't be as important as you I guess! Man, a key to the dealership! You are friggin important! Can't wait to kiss your ring next time. While you kiss my ass that is!

Hoist!

  you guys are funny as hell...

Can you believe that a (supposedly) modern dealership is saying they have to send cylinders out for honing?  How much you want to bet that's a nice labor charge for a few minutes spent with a drill motor and a ball hone?

You know it!!!!!! Just more BS from the STEALER!!!!!

They didn't just ball hone them or stone hone them in a drill. They sent them to their other store which has a full machine/Race shop. I'm sure they were honed with a machine shop type hone. (bar hone or whatever it's called). I seriously wouldn't mine paying $100 bucks or so, but $230 seems excessive.
And my pipe hits the brake pedal, so I have to go reposition that AND they washed my clean bike and spotted the crap out of it.

Hey, but my rear cylinder isn't seeping oil anymore.

OK FOLKS NOW FOR THE REST OF THE STORY!!!!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but. If they machine honed the cylinders they most likely took more meat out of the cylinder than need be. Now you have excessive clearence between the piston and the wall!

Just more BS

In June, just prior to the recall, I had the head gaskets replaced on my bike. They proceeded to take the cylinders off to replace the base gaskets, so I asked them if they where going to replace the rings. They told me not so I called Customer Service and asked them how they could expect old rings to reseat into the cylinders. They decided to do the right thing and replace the rings but I would call Customer Service and complain. They can not be taking your cylinders off, distrubing your ring/cylinder seating and expect no problems puting the cylinders back on without a rehone and new rings. 

They sure can. If the mechanic is any good and knows his CHIT they can do it. HOW, do you ask?? Very easy. Pull the cylinder up exposing the pin lock, remove it and slide the pin out being careful not to let the piston fall out. Then remove the piston and cylinder as a unit.

As I tell all of my friends. WATCH VERY CLOSELY FOR MY FINGERS WILL NEVER LEAVE MY HAND!!!!!!!

Yeah, and I bet they also think we're FOS about the problems they left us with too. Woo Hoo, I'm shakin in my boots now! HD skeered of lil ole Hoist makin noise about the MoCo's junk!!! Even though lil ole Hoist loves his HD's and has spent hundreds of thousands over the past years on em! I think it's you that's FOS!!! You can just go on kissing their ass!!! And you should be embarrassed about that, not my speaking out!!!


And BTW, since I blew off their W.....ty, and pay for my own stuff, do they really care? I doubt it very much. You're giving me way too much credit! But if there's any semblence of truth in what you said, it might be having some impact. And if more people were as knowledgable, passionate and outspoken about the inadequacies of these current machines, they might be more inclined to listen to these people and bring up their quality! But they count on the bolt on chrome cover folks that don't know much, or ride much, to make up the bulk of their customer base. Not hardcore diehard performance HD enthusiasts! And after all, lil ole Hoist can't change the world all on his own can he? Well GD, maybe he can!!!
Hoist!

Oh and BTW, as long as they're reading this, they can go back and read all 15K posts and see the story of how all this developed and why I feel this way now. Didn't start off that way when I bought Cybil. And I doubt anyone here qualifies to get their bikes fixed under w.....ty with the mods we make! Bottom line, they love taking our $$$ and will continue to do so as long as we keep handing it over, regardless of what we say about em. And any publicity is good publicity!

See what you have done now!!!!!!

That's the problem these days. Most of em can't and don't BUILD engines anymore. And they're not tooled for it anymore! They just bolt on parts. They don't measure em, or clearance em. Just take em off HD's highly efficient preclearanced QC system, and bolt it together!!! Scary chit!!!

Hoist!

I fully agree. The knowledge in the tech department at many dealerships is truly underwhelming 
It's actually very similar to what has happened for cars, where today all they do is plug the connector into the test unit and do whatever the system says.

[smiley1049]

Wow what cars are like that just plug it in and read the machine and it tells you how to fix it. I have been in the car industry for 30 years I have not seen that yet.

After further review with the people at the dealer, I was refunded all the money.

Interesting..... I guess someone just made a mistake?

[RBFB]

Ya a mistake after I complained about it to some people further up in the dealer.
