:banghead: Got the bike back from Tibby's H.D in springfield Mass. on friday. :banghead: Brought her in for the fuel flange recall, the clank in the front end, coolant leak that runs down frame, have them look at clutch ,engages at the end, have her dynoed, and the braided coolant hose installed. Let me first say that i am mechanically inclined. I work on all my own snowmobiles and built two custom softails from ground up. Just didn't want coolant hose to leak after install and thought it would be worth the $100 dollars boy what a mistake. I usually don't bash but i'm gonna let it go. Had them do a baseline with what i had the box set up at. The REV Tech box has four adjustments the fourth being where the mid blends with the top end. My settings were 4-7-3.5 RPM at 7. 110 H.P 77# of tourqe. Their settings 3-3-2 RPM at 4 113 H.P 78# of tourqe. Service guy not the tech said she should pull harder not the case she use to burn the tire alot better on a roll, i'm also running topless with their set up.Fuel flange went o.k.The front end they said was set up to factory specs, but still clanks.Said the coolant bottle was overfilled so they drained some fluid. Haven't noticed any leaking since getting her back.Now the coolant hose made a mess of my bike wich is always spotless so i didn't notice all the scratches on my rear pipe heatshield from idiot rubbing the srewdriver handle on it and the fins in the front and rear cylinders got the same treatment.
. Of course when i picked up the bike we did the usual walk around but i was so pissed about the mess the bike was in i didin't notice the scratches also scratched the airbox cover very small but its the point. Thinking of going back to the original settings to see if it goes better and probably gonna put the airbox cover back on, makes a rattling noise when i rev her above 5000.So boys looks like i'm on my own from here out i'll do all my own wrenching since ther are no independent wrenches that work on V-RODS in my area. So i'll need as much advice as i can get. :helpme: They charged me 220 to dyno the bike that didn't make any difference and to install the coolant hose that they scratched everything around it :banghead: Boy i just can't win and to top it all off the old lady moved out yesterday, but she can be replaced :rofl: :boobs: :cheers: They are gonna get an earfull from me this week i know they won't make good on their hackery but it'll make me feel better.Good thing i wrote down my original settings i had on the box so i can put her back to my settings. :sad:
