As acknowledged in my last thread, I dont do a lot of maintenance on my bike any longer (insert whining excuses about job, single parent, etc). As everyone warned, the dealership screwed it up.
After waiting 1 month for them to replace the petcock and adjust carbs, I picked it up last week. One ride later, I am regretting letting them near it.
The choke cable essentially does nothing, and I am guessing that they either disconnected it or it needs a major adjustment. Even worse, it is leaking from at least the oil filter cover, and maybe from the drain plug. As best I can tell, the fuel is no longer leaking into the motor. The new oil makes it hard to tell, but it is not increasing in level per the site glass, so that is encouraging.
A small non-franchise shop that has worked on my Brit bikes is picking it up this week- I am done with Dealer #1. I only hope that they did not strip something on the drain plug or the oil filter studs. Good grief, I love this bike but is exasperating how bad the service/expertise/give a damn factor is at most dealers.
