TRIICK....
Bear in mind I did bring in, to the dealers chagrin, my own tires, pads and plugs from flip. What I am most shocked about is not the fact that the plugs were not changed-is that when the owner gets on the phone and I say" Well if the positions were reversed; I would ask you to bring the bike back in and lets check it out". After saying that...crickets chirped.
This guy was sorta torqued off that I brought in a non 150/80 front and when ever I would mention R3O the wife would say "don't listen to those guys..they don't know what they are doing"..To which I would joke and ask for her number and ask if I could call at 11P and ask how to get the seat off.
This is a small town 3-4 person dealership and I tell you if I am a tech changing plugs I want all the dust off the top of the engine/boots before I pull the plugs so it does not fall into the cylinder.
What ever business you may be in and I started, owned and sold a 175 employee one-you do not leave a client disgruntled as it will revolve back to affect you. Matter of fact the day I picked up my R3 the was a R3O forum member sitting there waitng for his rear B-Stone to be replaced.
I guess what puzzles me is that no call back occurred and I was not rude nor did I berate the owner-I just gave him the chance to make it right by bringing the bike back in for a look.
Guess there is enough business and disdain for us DIY'ers that that call is not going to happen....
Now how to get those plugs out without "Rube Golberging" the plug wrench from the Under Seat Tool Kit I do not have.....
Attached is a few pics of the Rocket fuel line...That was the only part I got back-even though I asked him to save all parts.
I am just grateful for this forum as this is the facts and friends are at-not some dealership.
I am grateful to all of the R3O members that have been patient and helpful...I really mean that sincerely.
Cheers...Greg
