Ripped Off? Blown Engine?

[Cobba]

I think that if you have it repaired at another dealer then you would lose all claim against this lousy bas****d that f****d up. By all means have it diagnosed elsewhere but I would not have them fix it unless the aforesaid bas*****d gives permission & agrees to foot the bill. And the very best of luck with that.

Yeah, I'd agree with that.
Take it to someone who knows about Rockets and get their opinion (in writing) and then go back and front the other shop about it.

Only thing I can think of it that they have somehow over reved it on the Dyno and busted a ring.

A compression test would be a quick and easy way to see if that's happened or not.

Did you get the dyno sheet? That may tell you a lot. Must say I was wondering if they'd overdone on the dyno.

Shoot.. I think you were brave. I wouldn't trust either of my dealers to install anything aftermarket. The tech at the Austin dealer, who did a wonderful job getting my bike going, was afraid of working on my bike at first because of the Jardine exhaust and PC-III. My local SA deaker can't even troubleshoot a stock bike if the code doesn't tell them what's wrong. Also the Power Commander and ATRE are super easy to install.

I definitely agree Richard, but knowing the way I am, if it was my bike, world war 3 would be walking through their door, & I think I would be in trouble yet once again.

gee i sure hope they sort it out for u
I dont know how it works over there but here when mine was dynoed i had to read a sign before my bike went on the dyno Warning of the risks of financial loss.
The guy said they had never blown one up yet but if they did they wher not liable

Another reason why I'm content with the Dobec - no Dyno needed. I'm sure I could wring a bit more out of it but I can't really see the point. It runs perfect and it's hard enough to use all the power now, even on a dry, straight stretch. For the sake of (maybe) a couple of hp, I can use the money on other things.

we do it cos we can lol

I know mate. I know. And I'll be doing more to mine eventually too.
Lot of people ask me why I need such a big bike.....
