Pictures of the amazing brake job would be cool!
Are the betting windows still open????Not to worry, as I'm done offering advice in the forum anyhows. There's already plenty to be had.
This has been mentioned as a real PIA from many here. I know it would take a day for me to do it! I balked and saved that one for a trusted dealer (Sunnyside Motorcycle Company) to do when I took it in for 26K valve check. I think you might be on the high side of what a dealer would/should charge, but its in the range.4. Lube and service swing arm bushings and u joint-2.0 (this seems high to me since they already had the rear tire off?)
If they can't listen to your wishes I think I would have serious reservations about ever letting them touch my bike after they get it fixed.Man this sh*t just keeps getting better and better. Was off work Friday so no way to post update until this morning. Had a great weekend by the way, we brought back 50 redfish, 4 flounder and 4 speckled trout, got my mind off this bike and work, etc. Anyway, the service tec came out to my house last Thursday while I was at work, he wanted to see what the problem was, I told him the bike was in the shop, door unlocked but not to do anything as I wanted to take a pic. after I got home. Welp, when I got home Thursday and went to ck on the bike, he had been there and did exactly what I asked him not to do, he disconnected the caliper and flipped the inside break pad back around to the proper side, then reassembled. I got some pic's but they are after he flipped the pad. I will try and get the pic's posted this week, you can see the scarring of the metal side of the pad/puck side and the scarred rotor.
So, Friday morning rolls around and the service tec calls and advises me he saw my problem and repaired it to where it was safe to ride. He was sending someone from the dealership out to pick the bike up and ride it back to the dealership and they were going to replace the rotor and the rear pads. After close examination, I don't think the caliper pistons ever made any contact w/the rotor, I think they just pushed the back side/puck side of the pad against the rotor, but I am going to call them this morning and make sure they ck the pistons, just to make sure.
They had to order the rotor, it is suppose to be in today or tomorrow, we'll see! hope to get ya'll some pic's soon.
