Rich_B Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I think the dealer that serviced your bike should be ashamed, 180 beer tokens and they never cleaned/replaced the air filter (A vital part of a service) shocking. Bollock them up hill and down dale - demand a free service for next year, if you don't get it then at least it's a place to start bargaining for the recompense you deserve!
