Maintenance

posted in Motorcycle Stuff |

Ugh.  We just got the bike out of the shop today, and we’re already preparing to do more work to it tomorrow.  It went in last Thursday for a service, and it didn’t come out of the shop until today.  Technically it’s not even out of the shop yet.  The dealership called Hubby today 15 minutes before closing to let him know the bike is finally ready.  Of course he works out of state, and it takes him an hour to get to the dealership.

I’m not as pissed as I thought I would be that a simple servicing took a week.  When Kyle, the only mechanic I’ll let touch it, when to service it he had to order a seal to take care of an oil leak.  Even though the part was ordered last Friday, it didn’t come in until today (technically yesterday now since it’s 4am).

We won’t pay the rather high fees the service department charges to change our chain and sprocket, so we will be doing that this morning ourselves…after Hubby picks the bike up that is.  He’ll be at the dealership at 9am waiting for the doors to open.

As much as I hate the 600r’s outdated technology, it’s still our bike, and I miss riding it.
