What did you do to your scoot today?

[Admin]

This seems to be a popular topic for discussion today on a lot of forums, so I think we need one too!


So... no matter how big or small, what did you do to your scoot today? :)

[Madathlon]

Currently rewiring the headlights :D Almost done!!

[kz1000st]

My Fashion has been sitting for a while so I put it back on the trickle charger. I may get a chance to ride it tomorrow.

[Cubby1331]

I was going to make my own post but it fits in here nicely. I had my first drop today. I was getting off it and for some reason I didn't turn it off before i got off. Hit that throttle scoot went nuts and fell scuffed up the left side of my scoot and broke off some of the rear break handle. I'm ok but my ego was hurt cause I did this infront of 2 very attractive girls who just laughed at me lol.

[Houndguy]

Thanks for reminding me. Change the oil!

[inuyasha]

Hi
Checked all my motorbikes from top to bottom and performed what ever was nessacary to keep them "Ship shape and Bristol fashion"
Take care and ride safely
Yours Hank

[ventoman]

Installed an iridium sparkplug. Made a difference for the good and hopefully will last longer as well.

[thumper650]

I thought about changing my oil. But I didn't actually do it.

[rks]

This AM, I was just going to ride to Mickey D's to get a cup of coffee....somehow by the time I got home, I had covered 30 miles....seems good to finally have some decent weather...Bob

[wheelbender6]

Changed my oil for the first time (on my scoot-I've done them on my car before). The dealer had done the first oil change a while back.
After draining the oil, I had to lay the scoot on its side to help me get the screen, spring and plug back in correctly. I wanted to be sure I could see how everything fit.
I shouldn't need to lean it over next time to get everything back in.

[Gimpdog]

Hahahaha....

[cheapeto]

Got my CityGrip tires to be mounted to the wheels. Got some of the Streetglo reflective decals put on my helmet, and today around my leg guards and rear rack and elsewhere.

[blueboy5000]

Greasing greasing greasing. And tightening tightening tightening.

Man I forgot how much better my bike rides with a nicely lubed up headset (fork bearings) and wheel.

[blueboy5000]

Also yesterday we put a new 139qmb on our venerable 2008 Roketa Handsomeboy. The stock one lasted 7800 chinos before the crank bearings went.

7800 chinos on a stock engine is pretty damned good IMHO...

[Soulrider]

Took my cvt cover off but now I can't get it to go back on can some please tell me how to reinstall it . I own a 2014 Jonway yy150t-12 scoot.

[cheapeto]

Adding Tyrebeads to my new CityGrips, as I had the shop to NOT balance them.
1 ounce to the front, two ounces to the rear.

It was so easy to add these to my tires. Put it on the center stand, remove the air and valve, then use either the tube (provided) over the valve stem, or the squeeze bottle, and squeeze the tyrebeads in to the tube/valve.

The rear tire was bit more tedious, as I have a 90 degree valve stem, I used a hose clamp around the tubing to help the beads fall into the valve a wee bit better.

Took about 20 minutes total. It was raining pretty hard when I got finished so no test until today.

[blueboy5000]

Took my cvt cover off but now I can't get it to go back on can some please tell me how to reinstall it . I own a 2014 Jonway yy150t-12 scoot.


I'm a tad confused, the cvt cover just slips onto the case, then you install the two LONG 8mm bolts in the rear, and then start all the other 8mm bolts, then tighten them, starting with the middle bolts in a spiral pattern, using a 1/4" drive ratchet and 8mm socket.

[cheapeto]

I did 345 miles from York PA to Roanoke VA, stand up at 8:00 am was lost in Roanoke by 3:00pm. My hotel is in Salem, and with construction and gazing about, caused me to put 45 miles EXTRA zeroing in on the Holiday Inn.
The BR was just flawless....so far!!

[kz1000st]

I just did oil changes on the two scooters with no surprise debris present. Given that they both have over 8,000 miles I'm pleased. Other tasks yet to do that will be well worth the time.

[Firehawk989]

Installed a new Malossi Yellow torque spring and torque controller to keep the engine in the powerband of the new pipe under acceleration. Works great, now I just need to figure out which clutch springs to use. (Have a set of 3 different ratings to try, plus my clutch has several adjustment options to fine-tune the launch RPMs.) This baby is very close to being dialed in the way I want!

[rks]

Replaced the factory installed battery today. Not going to complain tho....did get two years, and 3 months out of it.

[bandito2]

Yesterday I drilled and mounted the hitch connection for my single wheel trailer onto a rear spoiler/passenger hand grab that I got for dirt cheap off of ebay for the Silverwing scooter. (scratched up a bit, but I didn't care... I'm going for utility here) Besides, the rest of the bike has that patina and roughed up skin from actually being used as the workhorse it is. It has character. Not the prettiest little pony I've owned, but darn sure is the hardest worker.

And then today, no pics, but I changed a couple removable connections so that I can use my single wheel trailer with my Silverwing scooter. They were originally set up to work with My Reflex scooter, but the 2007 Reflex that used to pull the trailer is the subject of a streamlining project and so it is not being used to tow the trailer any more.

I never did much like doing electrical work on the bike because it is so tedious at times. All that unwrapping of sticky gummy tape to get at wires so that they can be reassigned to the proper connector pins. That and making darned sure wires are going to where they are supposed to. Check wire about 4X, cut, splice, check again, next wire, etc, etc, then check it all again. (don't want to burn anything) Test it, wrap it, try it again. OK. Put the tools away. Didn't have to do anything over, got it right the first time.

OK now the wiring is all good to go for the trailer lights plus the auxiliary lights that can be set atop stuff on the passenger seat. The tail lights on the bike are partially obscured by the trailer so the aux lights are needed. The tiny little lights down low on the trailer are pretty much cosmetic IMO. I really need to something with the tail lights that makes it safer... more visible.... A future project. (and I'll add pics of that project)

Actually, here is a pic with the extra set of lights on top of the stack O' stuff on the back seat of my 2007 Reflex. It got rearranged just a little bit so it could be seen better before I took off from here. Down on the ground behind the rear wheel is the shredded drive belt that got changed on the side of the road...... Yeah, lucky me....exit 13 LOL!! But it was more than luck.... that I was prepared with a spare drive belt and the tools to do the job some 700 miles from home.

[cheapeto]

Damn nice work bandito!!

[TheAmishSasquatch]

Bought it last evening, rode and washed it this morning. Its an '07 Super 9 with only 1150 km and came with nice extras like a helmet, Tecnigas exhaust, and a Givi removable case. Its not the SR50 i wanted, but it'll do for now :tup:

[wheelbender6]

The wife and I scooted to a street fest in my town. I ate some awesome kimchi fries from a food truck. We shopped and tasted a few no-label brews (our local brewery). The sun was very strong and it was a hot scoot home.

[kz1000st]

I've had to ride to Binghamton the last couple of days to visit. The Fashion is handling the 78 mile round trip well. I have to go a few more times and the scooter saves me a lot of gas over my cars. It's been surprisingly comfortable.

[cheapeto]

Switched my honda oem air filter with a K&N. Adding some decals.

[wheelbender6]

The wife and I rode to a potential job site for a quick look over. It was difficult to find through through all the construction roads, but that added to the fun. After a week of commuting, its fun to take the scoots out for a little quest.

[kz1000st]

Yesterday I got to enjoy a tripleheader. I took the Fashion to work and used the 50cc and 150cc bikes to fetch groceries in the morning and afternoon.

[rks]

Removed the rear wheel, got the tire irons out...removed the old tire (Kenda K413, 2300 miles), and installed the new one, (Michelin City Grip). Was 35 degrees this AM, so thought it would be good day to spend in the garage. Warmer tomorrow...will give it a road test then.

[blueboy5000]

After sitting under a pine-tree for the last three years, I rescued this E-Ton. I re-built the entire fuel system, and electrical, installed a new master-cylinder and caliper. I took it for it's first ride. The clutch sticks, and the CVT needs some love, but it hit 45+ mph! That's sick fast for a 50cc!

I'm digging it.

[kz1000st]

A few days ago I put a new tire on the Fashion. This last tire went 6,150 miles. I'll get a lot of practice replacing tires at this rate.

[rks]

I took a 21 mile ride to get things good and warm....then pulled the drain plugs on the engine and transmission. Had run 611 miles on the engine oil, and 2502 miles on the transmission.....was time to dump and refill.

And KZ.....if I could get over 6000 miles on a drive tire, I'd be acting like this guy..:yay:

[kz1000st]

I guess a little attitude adjustment is in order. My motorcycles were getting eight to ten thousand out of cheaper tires. Then again the first tire on the Fashion only lasted 4,375 so I should be happy with this last one.

[bandito2]

On another forum we have been having a discussion about putting a car tire on the rear of the Honda Silverwing scooter.
The following is about what I did...................

[[[[ Part of a message from a previous post of mine at that site ]]]]
Subject: Re: Darkside and ABS Yesterday at 8:19 pm bandito2 wrote:

Ended up going out and buying back a 2006 Reflex that I restored and sold to a friend instead of putting
the 175/70R13 car tire on and testing..... Looks like another chance for that on Monday.

[[[[ I did the follow-up in this posting]]]]
So today (Monday Nov. 3, 2014) I put the 175/70R13 on the bike and went out for a 200.7 mile ride to see
how it would do. Yes it fits on the bike fine without clearance issues and I never noted any noises or noticed
any tire rubbing on the underside of the storage space beneath the seat. The speedometer matches the GPS
pretty close speed wise, but the odometer is off by a couple percent with that tire.

It tends to keep the bike rolling longer when off the throttle and actually has a nicer feel to it and corners nicer
than the 165/65R13. The 165/65R13 is a little more square shouldered than the 175/70R13 so that may be why.
I thought it might help with fuel economy, but a 4 mpg improvement seemed not such a big deal to me.
The brakes worked only as standard brakes do. The rear wheel I had the 175/70R13 mounted to is a non-ABS
wheel and is not drilled and threaded for the pulser ring. The bike naturally is easier to get up onto the center
stand, but leans over further when using the side stand.

So the question still remains whether the taller 175/70R13 car tire will have a negative effect on the ABS.
With no pulser ring on the rear, the ABS never got past the start up self test and so the ABS light stayed on
the entire time with no error flashing. I may get the wheel drilled and tapped so a pulser ring will mount to it
sometime in the future.

So that is my initial impressions of the 175/70R13 car tire after only a 200 mile ride. I really would have liked
to test the ABS function with that tire. Maybe somebody else can if they use a tire like that with an ABS Silverwing.
Otherwise, I won't be doing anything more about it until spring.

[rks]

No more scooting this year....at least here in Western New York. Time for tinkering....so I replaced the amber reflectors on the front sides of my scoot, with these LED's, for added safety when turning. Don't ride at night, so didn't bother to wire the running light portion....just the turn signals.

Surprised at how bright they are....and at $6.76 for the pair (shipped), they are a bargain.

[bnc]

Cleaned the carburetor when I noticed the idle speed would go down when the pilot jet screw went in but not when it went out. Now it works fine going down when either rich or lean.

Changed the oil to a blend of 1/2 regular 10-40 and 1/2 Mobil 1 synthetic at 28,614 miles.

[bandito2]

Gave the 2006 Honda FSC 600A Silverwing (Jester) & 2006 Honda Reflex Sport (Sovereignty) much needed baths. It got too late to wax & plastic polish them but that's a little task for tomorrow. (gotta make them look nice for the gig on Sunday)

I'm getting things ready for the 2nd Annual Spring Tune Up & BBQ on Sunday May 3. (A gathering of shiftless characters) I'm cooking BBQ country style ribs, corn on the cob ..... the usual stuff you know. There will be 6 of us scooter guys from around area (+ 1 guy's wife) that I managed to talk into joining. Last year there were only 4 of us but we still had a good time. Did some small projects... oil change & 1 of the guys added some LED lights to the rear of his scooter + lots of scooter talk. The weather is forecast to be absolutely beautiful!!! Mid to upper 70's, mosly sunny and NO RAIN!!! ( I put my order in for that way back in the winter):tup:

Tomorrow got to move the vehicles out of the garage and to the road because were gathering in the garage mostly and all of the scooters the guys are riding will be in the driveway. (mine too)

Should be a great time again.

[kz1000st]

After only 10,595 miles the front tire on the Fashion needed to be replaced. I installed a Shinko SR-007 to replace the Cheng Shin it came with. In the last few moths I did the rear tire, new battery, new belt and the front tire. I checked the front brake pads when I had the tire out and they look like new. All ready for the riding season.

[wheelbender6]

I took my scoot on a 60 mile round trip to work yesterday. My round trip commute distance jumped from 24 to 60 miles when I took a new job. Highest speed limit along the route is 45 mph, so my 125cc scoot kept up with traffic just fine.

[Irish]

Sportster 1200 w/Trike kit. Changed stock air filter for a K & N ,added decals , checked rear wheel drive adjustment , slightly increased idle speed , adjusted shift linkage , checked air pressure in tires.:clap: Irish

[rks]

With 616 miles operated so far this year, it was time to dump and refill the crankcase fluid. I get 5 oil changes out of my gallon jug of 15w/40....each one cost $2.69, and that includes the 8% sales tax our wonderful governor needs to run the state.

[Modene]

In the first month of ownership I've got a airhawk cushion,put on Grip puppies,soft saddle bag, 46liter top case which I painted hi viz yellow & put on reflection tape on top case, put in some ride-on tire sealant. Royal purple oil in .

[kz1000st]

You know what's cool about these posts? No one is saying, "I just replaced the valves, barrel and piston because the old one was shot" anymore. Both the Chinese scooters and the people buying them are improving. Good job people.

[rks]

Changed the oil and serviced the K&N air filter yesterday. Scoot now stands 7,608 miles, and all is well. Planned on doing a couple of other things at this mileage, like replace the original spark plug, and the drive belt that now has 6630 miles on it, and a valve clearance check. I decided to postpone doing those items, based on the fact that the scooter is running better than ever.

Fuel mileage for the 19 fill ups this year has averaged 89.13 mpg.....compared to last years' 84.9 mpg average for 30 fill ups. And even better, the last 10 tanks have averaged 90.44.

So I'm not going to try to fix something that isn't broken. Old belt, old spark plug, and valves that haven't been adjusted in 5,100 miles, all seem to be very happy, and doing their jobs just fine....in fact better than ever.

[kz1000st]

As previously noted I adjusted the valves on the 250cc and I changed the spark plug figuring that over 11,900 miles was long enough. I needn't have bothered it looked fine but I had the new one......This past Wednesday the 250 passed 12,000 miles on the trip to Bike Night and is running like new.

[wheelbender6]

I got the wife to take a ride with me this morning on her scoot. We went for breakfast and then took a spin down some back roads. Home before noon and it was already sweltering hot.

[mrk610]

Drained and replaced rear fluid. Took the wheels off and going to the local shop and have them mount and balance the kendas I ordered. I had the original ones that came with the scoot. Even though they only have 800 miles on them .

[Irish]

Sportster 1200 w/Trike kit. Changed stock air filter for a K & N ,added decals , checked rear wheel drive adjustment , slightly increased idle speed , adjusted shift linkage , checked air pressure in tires.:clap: Irish

I forgot to add that my feet don't work correctly so I had the shift lever changed to heel & toe & had the actuator on the brake lever extended!Also , I got some folding foot pedals to help me get on. I'm paying for my days of drinking , hell raising & racing now! My father told me(long ago) that someday my body would tell me when it was going to snow , storm , etc. , before it did. He was right but what can you expect?
I've been riding since I was 15 & I'm 71 now.:clap::tup: Irish:zzz:

[Modene]

I rode it 30miles & made it carry home some Groceries. It enjoys it ,getting out of the Garage .

[mrk610]

Got my tires back and same pattern as on the junk Chinese tires that came with my roketa mc54-250b
Got all back together and barely put any pressure on bottom bolt that mounts rear tire to bracket to engine block and snap. Damn cheap Chinese bolts . So now after 30 years of wrenching on my vehicles . I have to remove my first broken bolt.

[Modene]

Isn't riding your Scooters the Best think you can Do to Your Scooters. Call to make my 600 mile Service Appointment. Road trip real soon!

[kz1000st]

I finally sucked it up and changed the drive belt on my 150cc Bashan. My Fashion's variator cover is held on by two bolts, The Bashan has about eight. After opening up the cover I was very surprised. After six years and 6,500 miles the belt showed signs of stretching but had zero cracks. The Gates Powerlink Premium is worth every penny. I had detected slippage and some vibration, a sure sign it needed changing, but it wasn't anywhere near ready to break.

Here's another surprise. I checked the rollers and after nearly 9,000 miles, and except for one, they had no flat spots. Even the one with a flat spot wasn't that bad. I just blew out the dust and reassembled the variator. The variator itself had no scouring and looked like new. I was ready to buy sliders and a new variator if the old one looked bad but it's fine.

I took it on a ride and it's a lot better. No slippage and lower rpms at the speed I ride. It's good to know that I can let this belt live in there for a long while and it will let me know when it needs changing without snapping. Oh, BTW. Both of the Gates belts say Made in China. I guess some of their products are up to the job.

[rks]

kz1000st said.... "Oh, BTW. Both of the Gates belts say Made in China. I guess some of their products are up to the job."

I have had the same experience, my Gates Powerlink Premium is stamped "Made in China", has just over 6,700 miles on it.....the replacement I bought last winter, is hanging in the shop......has the same stamping.....and it will be installed soon.

[Modene]

Cleaned both air filters & checked battery

[cheapeto]

Replaced my variator weights, 3- 20 grams sliders and 3- 17 gram rollers. I had to buy 18 gram Dr.Pulley rollers and with a carbide cutter and scale hollowed out a gram of the inner brass case.
For my fatass and our area, it's the best combo for this scooter I ran ever.Very good jump off the line and almost perfect top end speed.

[rks]

I changed my drive belt today.....still no cracks, or fraying, but was thinning down. When compared side by side with the new one, it was noticeably narrower. Guess that's to be expected after 6,832 miles of use. Variator, sliders, guides, all looked fine.....cleaned things up a bit, put my new made in China, Gates Powerlink Premium Belt on, and bolted everything back together.

[wheelbender6]

"Isn't riding your Scooters the Best thing you can Do to Your Scooters."
I agree fully Modene. However, when the weather cools off a bit, I will be doing oil changes and other necessities. Its just easier to do it myself than haul my scoots to the Heights for service. On the other hand, they have some really nice restaurants and bars in the Heights.

[Modene]

I added 2" memory foam to air hawk seat cushion to see if that is the ultimate long distance comfort

[rks]

Checked the valve clearances, and the spark plug. Valves were just fine, .004" & .005", no adjustment needed...infact, the last time they actually needed to be adjusted, was June of 2013, at 2,500 miles.....now at 9,060.

Spark plug still looks fine too.....although the gap had opened up a bit to .030". Reset to .025", and put it back to work. This is the original plug, and I've been thinking about replacing it....but it has given me no reason to....scooter starts and runs fine, has plenty of power, and the fuel mileage gets better every year. If that should start to drop off, I'll get a new plug.

[Irish]

Put in new E-3 sparkplugs I forgot to say that before I put on a Mustang seat & passenger seat The old plugs looked fine but I could tell when riding that they were old (same as me) I hope my wife doesn't change me for a newer one! We've only been married for almost 51yrs. Irish
P.S. I also put on a sissy bar & pad.

[rks]

I replaced the original, Chinese front tire (size 120/70-12) with a Michelin City Grip (size 110/90-12) today. Original had 9,838 miles on it, and although it still had plenty of tread left, the scalloping and vibrations caused by this type of wear, drove me nuts.

Since the new tire measures 3.625" larger in circumference than the same make and model tire in the 120/70 size, it will make my speedo read a little closer to actual speed. Another bonus is that it has a load index rating of 64, compared to 51, for the wider, low profile style.

Have another new one on hand.....waiting for the drive tire to wear out. I have figured that on the drive wheel, this tire will reduce my rpm's by 300 or so, at my preferred speed of 40'ish.

[stitch_man87]

I gave "riding coach" a different meaning

[wheelbender6]

I did my first valve adjustment a few weeks back. So far, so good.

[stitch_man87]

I changed my seat again, this time crocodile instead of coach. Then fluid changes and when I pulled back in from the test run broke my throttle handle... 8 dollars and 20 minutes later back on the road lol

[ForCom5]

Replaced that poor rear wheel. I could see the fibers on it! D: But my scoot's been good to me.

[Irish]

I broke my Battery Tender Battery is real low so I was going to purchase another one. I called the H.D. shop & they want $115. Something tells me I will be doing some shopping!:taunt::shrug: Irish:scoot::nuts:

[philr]

Hey Irish,

Just bought a new Battery Tender Plus 021-0128 12V Battery Charger (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Battery-Tender-Plus-021-0128-12V-Battery-Charger/15779498) @ Wal-Mart... purchased online (to get the best price) $44.88 and picked up from my local Wal-Mart that same day.

[rks]

Here's the one I use...(have 4 of them) https://www.amazon.com/Battery-Tender-021-0123-Junior-Charger/dp/B000CITK8S/ref=sr_1_4?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1470954084&sr=1-4&keywords=battery+tender

:thanks:That sounds like a better buy than anything that I have found! I have another:doh: but the harness doesn't match up to what I have wired to my battery already & it's a pain to rewire it (on my bike):yay: Irish:scoot::nuts:

[kz1000st]

I have one of these that I bought on sale at KMart. It keeps the battery on the CF Moto strong.

[Irish]

I haven't installed it yet but in yesterday afternoons mail I received a Battery Tender Jr that I got from Amazon!:clap::tup: Irish:scoot::nuts:

[wheelbender6]

Installed a bigger main jet and hi-PO exhaust last weekend. I tinkered with removing a baffle from my air box. Felt like removing the air box baffle made me lose some torque, so I put it back in place.

[wheelbender6]

I made a replacement baffle for my stock air box with a larger opening and velocity stack made from a gatoraide bottle. The engine still felt like it lost torque and actually ran worse than when I removed the baffle altogether. I have a lot of experimenting left to do before I can improve the stock air box.

[Ebuddy]

Simple oil change today. A few weeks ago I replaced both tires. Easier in some respects that I thought, more difficult in others. Saved myself about $50 having the local shop do it though....

[rks]

Changed my engine oil, as always, used Mobil Delvac 15w/40, cost $1.70 (24 ounces) odometer now at 13,003.5 miles.

The stats on drained oil... 757 miles covered, 32.8 hours of run time, 9.51 gallons of fuel burned. Oil drained was discolored...but nowhere near black. I could go farther than 750 miles between changes, but choose not to.

This scooter runs as well as it ever has, uses/burns no oil... engine is bone dry, no leaks or drips. Always starts quickly, always idles steady.....and has never left me stranded. I think I'll keep doing, what I've been doing......it seems to be working.

[Roscoe]

Today .... I took the float assembly out of the tank and got it working and found a gasket that would fit the sender unit and that should take care of the gas leak when the tank was full and last I checked the gas gauge was working. I also got a bolt and made an attachment point for a broken side panel so it will be more secure until I can find a replacement. It's a work in progress but getting better all the time.

[Irish]

Not today but awhile ago - Sanded off the chrome on the crash bar & exhaust pipes , after removing them. Painted them all a flat Black. So far so good after reinstalling them.:clap: Irish:scoot::nuts:

[wheelbender6]

I started trickle charging my scoot battery with one of those little solar chargers (like the ones people used to keep on the dash of their car.)
-I only get to ride on weekends, weather permitting, so its a little rough on my battery as it gets older.
-I mounted the solar panel on the west wall of my garage and ran the wires inside to the scoot.

[Irish]

Not today but awhile ago , I fitted(bent) & installed a heat shield on my outer exhaust pipe so that I can stop melting my heel!:clap::yay:Irish:scoot::nuts:

[wheelbender6]

I removed my wind shield for the summer and took a plug reading over the weekend. Looks like my jetting is till good.

[sc00ter]

I ignored the slipping belt and plan on riding it 250 miles this Sunday! Excitement, especially if it breaks down in a ghetto! Seriously, I need to do a parts order and overhaul the transmission and check the valves. Both are long overdue. But I do plan on the ride this Sunday.

Well heck this weekend replaced the front disc & pad, then had to spend the last couple days extensively testing it to make sure it's holding up

The wife and I rode our scoots over to the shop for annual safety inspection stickers. A weathered looking fellow in a Harley Davidson shirt did the inspection.

Had a horrable miss. Changed the Spark Plugs & it cleared right up!:clap: Irish:scoot::nuts:

I finally got around to soldering the fuse wires and used heat shrink to seal the solder joints.... finally. Sometimes it takes me 3 years to do a 10 minute job.

Having gotten the electrical issue fixed on the CF Moto I took it down for the annual inspection. It passed and is running as well as ever. I can't believe it's ten years old and running this well. Just passed 17,000 miles.

Took my 2019 Piaggio Liberty 150 in for its 6000 mile service. Made the reservation a week and a half in advance and took it in cold (valves) so I could take it back the same day. I get to the dealership on time, drop it off and within a hour of killing time I get a call. They didnt have all the parts for the service!? The rollers still looked good but my air filter needs changing still. I'll get the air filter done when I get the rear tire changed. They say they keep the tire in stock....
