Hi Guys...
Just wondering what is the consensus here about the bike and servicing / repairs concerning dealers and indie garages?
Seems since this is a forum lot's of DIYers come here for help and advice to varying degrees of success. Many if not most get what they are looking for, but for those of us with less time to work out a certain electrical gremlin or a "code 19" problem or these sometimes small issues that can see days of down time for our bikes....do dealers and independents usually nail the problems down faster, or are they likely to guess and research just as much as we do?
I have not had an issue which caused any down time yet, but I'd rather have my bike at home and try to work it out if a dealer or shop would take just as long. Or in your experience do THEY have the "know how" and equipment to put the bike up, test it out, and fix it up without much guess work?
Just wondering my best course of action should the time come. Do i come here and grab my shop manual first....or if in need of a quick fix take it to a dealer / shop and expect them to fix it up ASAP?
What's been YOUR experience over the years?
