Warning: This message contains bad language. If you are offended, please stop reading now. I went against my better judgement and took my bike to a dealer last weekend to fix an oil leak at the head. I was fed up trying to fix it myself after replacing the head gasket, infamous seal (and yes, I used the new seal) and re-seal the cam cover. I knew better than to take it to those fucking stealers. I have NEVER had a good experience with any fucking service department. Those fucking ass holes ALWAYS mis-diagnose the problem, take your money and don't fix anything. The fucking dealership told me the problem was the infamous seal, even though I just replaced it last month! I even looked in the space behind the exhaust pipe and IT WAS FUCKING DRY! They charged me 206.00 fucking dollars on a job that took me less than two hours with fucking garage tools! Now they call me up and tell me they want 2.5 more labor hours to heli-coil two stripped cam cover bolts! 2.5 FUCKING HOURS OF LABOR AT 65$ AN HOUR! Heli-coils only take about 15min per bolt! I'm looking a 500$ for a fucking small oil leak high up in the head of a single cylinder motorcycle? FUUUUUCCCKKKK!
Sorry for the rant and cuss words. I just needed to feel better. Thanks
