Update for my oil leaking M8
I got a call from the dealer this morning. They rode the bike and found that I do have an oil leak (duh) . It appeared to be coming through the breather. They tested it without the breather and found no leak, with the breather there is a leak. They theorize that something was left out of the head, possibly an o ring or a seal. The Moco has a guy onsite this morning to begin tearing the engine down or at least the upper ends. So far , they are full steam ahead on a fix. I want them to take care of business and I want to do what is right by them. They have always treated me well, but this is the 4th bike I have bought since 09.
My question is this.....Would I be out of line in asking for an esp ?
or at least on the engine depending on the fix?
I mentioned to him that according to the trip summary, I only got 25 mpg and used almost half a tank in 60 miles.
He said that is a separate issue.
I think it may be tied in with the other one. If an extended tear down or engine replace, should I ask for a loaner bike if they don't offer one?
Thanks for the opinions and comments. I know it is going to be an awesome trike. When I get to ride it.

Update to the update to the update
Went to pick the trike up today. Was told again that they didn't find anything. I had carried one set of keys and fob and left with the trike so that they could start it. Got there and they took it to the gas station and refilled the tank. They said they had ridden 60 miles with no problems. I said good. Fixed it and I am good to go, Gave the wife the key and fob that had been with the bike and she went to her car. My fob would not disarm the security. I told the service guy and he said probably the fob battery, I will get one. Came back and did not have one. I said ok I have one and will install.
Should have lnown something was not right.
Went next door to Quaker Steak and lube for supper.
Opened mayo for burger and squeezed it and it popped and squirted the wife with mayo.
She isn't happy. Halfway through the meal, I sat my glass down and promptly spilled a full glass of tea on the table. Should have quit while I was ahead.
Left and got exactly 11.4 miles down the road and the check engine light and temp light came on. Stopped, pulled over and let it cool. Texted sales guy. No response, called sales guy..no response. By this time I am very pissed.
Decided I would take the trike back to dealer and see if they had a key drop, leave it outside and call them in morning. Eureka, someone is there.
Tried to leave keys with him and he said he couldn't accept them. He was finance guy.
I threw both sets of keys on his desk and said it's outside service. He asked what I wanted him to do.
Told him fix my damn trike. He said no what to do tonight. I said either put it inside or leave it outside I don't care. It is insured but you have the keys so if something happens to it, I am looking to the dealer to make it right.
I am to the point that they have ridden it more than me and have had it more than me. Right now I want a new motor or new trike or my trade in back and my check back. I think this trike is snake bit.
What are your thoughts?
What would you ask for?
