Bike at the dealer...

hahahaa... I told her it needed the carbs blown out. It doesn't like riding at "only 4,000 RPM" all of the time.. It's just getting started at 4,000 RPM.. That's about 70 MPH in 6th gear..

I will not be taking my bike to them, I always use re-treads on my rear but i am not stupid enough to use re-treads on the front.
 
Dealer called Saturday afternoon and said bike was ready. Didn't get detail or cost yet, as I was in the middle of a horse play day that my daughter and her horse were participating in...

Will get more detail and pick up bike tomorrow.. ( Why are all motorcycle dealers closed on Sunday and Monday? ).. Can't wait to get the bike back! I've been enjoying the Trophy, but it's just not the bike for me...
 
Dave,

it sounds like all went well. I'll be looking for your next post.....

Won't be able to get to the dealer to pick up the bike until tomorrow afternoon. Total cost for all of the above was $457.79. Hopefully, I'll get more details tomorrow, such as how many shims were out of specs. That's what I'm most curious about.
 
I miss my bike!!!! Can I say that again?.. lol We sure are spoiled.

I've been riding my wife's Trophy and it has PLENTY of horse power, but it's all at 4000 RPM and higher! This used to not be a big thing, just having to re-learn to ride in that RPM range to get the real power. Most inline 4's have that type of power range, but I sure am spoiled to our 140-50 lbs/ft of torque ready to pull at a moments notice, no matter what RPM...
 
So yours was not an electrical (EFI) problem, more of a valve problem?
Any time you (y'all) get tired of that girlee bike, just let me know and I'll take it off of y'alls hands.
