how is that just a slider? it has to be a dampner of some sorts. anywhoo, got my bike back on saterday. (12th) had a lengthy conversation with the new service manager. he is very helpfull compared to before. things were taken care of, and he ordered more parts as well. the left oil cooler that they ...

yes, he is correct. the left fork shock. not the supporting coilover in the center. im still on the loaner. im going to call them today and see whats going on

got the loaner back after bitching every day for 2 weeks. this sucks. im getting rid of this bike.

not locally. approx 80 miles one way

these guys are about 12 miles from me

dropped it off today AGAIN. no loaner this time

this is the pits.

so im riding home today from work, and notice this "goo" getting on the tank.... it seems wet. the freaking left shock is blowing oil out of the seal :roll: my tank, the bike, my pants and my riding jacket are spotted in shock oil. as soon as i got off the bike the General Manager got a vo...

yea..... so i washed the bike this morning, and i found even more damage. the left fork has been gouged majorly, and it looks like someone used a flat bastard file to file it down. this is rediculous. i called the general manager, and *when* my starter and grips show up im going to show them additio...

jesus. i got it back today. its been almost *exactly* a month. question for you all, and please comment about this. i work in a VERY professional dealership, (carmaker, 3 letter word :wink: ) and i didnt realize the huge effort of customer service that was put outwards, compared to my service visit ...

4th set of pilot powers, and never looking back

so another week passes, and i might get it next week....

at least they are very nice

no im talking about 13. the actual ball joint. it acts as a nut into 11. it unthreaded and walked back and forth in the threaded bore of 11

gonna call them tomorrow. i dropped it off on thursday

no pic of the damage, sorry. the large nut (the body of the ball joint) that goes into the fork plate, unthreaded. it must have been unthreading for some time now. funny, i rub the bike down by hand with a towl to clean it, and normally am in "inspection" mode looking for problems, but i g...

im pretty aggresive. this is my daily driver. the ball joint unthreaded its self.... so im thinking it just wasnt tight enough when i got it. wierd.


original owner.
the ball joint had never been serviced or touched in past repairs.

anyone ever heard of this? driving down the road on the highway, the balljoint had unthreaded its self from the fork plate, and the balljoint ripped out of its mount. was very interesting getting it stopped without dieing. so its at the dealer now getting fixed. me thinks ill be trading it in, or pe...

i think if you made the mistake of dropping it, you shouldnt be going thru your insurance.

your stupidity makes everyones rates go up.

just my take on it.

it seems when i take off from lights sometimes the clutch is slipping. i smell burnt clutch. it sucks. bike has 20,000 miles on it.


you think a dealer will take care of this?


i want to sell the bike. any takers? im in texas. i have pics!

im gonna try to make one first. stay tuned.

so suck! it reduces power huh? kinda funny manufacturers put stuff out that makes things slower ..lol


well, i guess ill be making my own?


el barto, where did you get yours, how much did you pay, and do you like it?

pilot powers. no other choice.


ive done metzlers, and dunlops, michelins are the bomb.....



on my 3rd set of them
