Ok, so I brought my fz6 in on Thursday for the 4000 mile service, primarily for them to sync the throttle bodies. Wanted to do it myself, but didn't have the tools and felt that I might mess something up by building my own. So, I figured for the first time, might as well let the professionals do it.
Pick it up this morning, and while the idle seems more consistent, it is at about 1000rpm versus the near 1300 from before. Odd, but no biggie. Check the chain, and it is at about 35mm, when I had it at 55 before. Called them immediately to point out the fact that the few things they actually did were out of spec. They, of course, said to bring it in on Monday to take a look at it and "show you how we measure". You may already know that I am extremely fastidious about the bike and have read every post and manual regarding these items
Minor annoyances that can easily be remedied, but just seeing what I should do for the rest of the weekend. It is supposed to be gorgeous tomorrow and I want to ride. However, I also want to go back to the dealer Monday after work and force them to measure it in front of me, and explain why they failed to put the idle back in spec after the sync.
It was also twice as dirty as before and had that crap lube they throw on the chain that looks like gray glue.
I think I have decided that I should just get the appropriate tools and do it myself in the future, but for now do I ride it tomorrow as is and bring it back to them on Monday, or do I readjust everything and not bother going back? Ever.
Thanks brethren,
