I'm not normally a +1 kinda guy, but this earns one so, +1 Also, there is more to properly load testing a battery than just putting it on a load cell.
So, is the dealer smoking this hair line crack?

Or they could have made a simple odot deduction, put in a new battery , and called it 30 minutes!

I think you just insulted odot.
If you compare our DNA you will find that both of us are 98% chimp.

edit: Just got off the phone with Kendall. "I'd love to get a '13 FJR for you, but there none for me to get. Sorry." I wonder if its coz I told him Im a friend/was referred by Don and Greg?
Guess I'll have to buy one from the devil.

(if anyone cares about this story any more...)
Just got a call from the service mgr (at RideNow)...apparently the sales guy I talked to on Saturday (when I was asking about a '13...a guy Ive bought 2 other bikes from and is now in financing there) talked to the service mgr and explained all the circumstances, I have been a customer since back when they were Metro Motorsports, etc...and I was told I would only have to pay for 1 hour labor + battery. Theyre now waiting for a battery because they wanted to put a Yamaha battery in instead of one they had on the shelf (I didnt know Yamaha made batteries?).
Anyway. Hats off to them for doing the right thing with me. :clapping:

So that's the story they feed you. Who knows what the actual truth is.
And Yamaha is NOT in the battery making business. They use Yuasa batteries as OEM.

Well, I talked to the sales guy and he told me as much. Unless, of course, the sales guy and the service mgr got together to spin the story firstSo that's the story they feed you. Who knows what the actual truth is.
And Yamaha is NOT in the battery making business. They use Yuasa batteries as OEM.
Then its a Yuasa battery they are waiting for.
