Good luck on the work with the new shop. One question though. Since your heated grips are wired in a way contra-indicated by the "factory instructions" are they giving you any grief or making you pay the labor part of the job?
Thanks Twolane, I sure hope the new shop will treat us better. Actually, the butchered way the grips were installed at my first service, I have no clue if was by the "factory instructions" or not. They just looked like dooo dooo, but the right grip had completely lost any hint of chrome. They are going to replace both grips and rewire them, they said they would try to put them inside the bars if they could and they are charging me labor, as the warranty is to the part..... not to another shops install.
The rear tire was legitamatly worn out, but the front tire they are going to replace. They tried to reseat it but it still lost all but 10 lbs overnight. They pulled it off and put it in water and they said it was a bubbling like a champaigne fountain. I have no clue what I could have run over. No visible holes, mars, gashes etc., but they said right in the middle of the tire, a few holes. Sucks to be sure.
And I never thought about the purchase of tires advance..... I don't get any kind of a discount at this new store. Could have bought them at the "bad man" store and at least worked my way towards a 15% discount ---- their reward system - every so many dollars spent add up to a discount on another purchase. Sometimes it is all about timing. I did not have the time to plan ahead and the slow leak just happened to coincide with an already scheduled appointment to have warrantly issues looked at. Seemed to make sense to look after everything at once and be done for another couple of months. We have been adding quite a few miles lately. I guess this is the expense of riding.
