I took my TG in last week for the warranty work on the reverse motor and the pan hard rod.
Picked it up today.
Reverse works
New pan hard rod is nice and snug...no more slop.
Good news is that instead of $1795.00 for the pars/labor, it was only $50 for ESP deductible.
Bad news is, per usual, they messed some stuff up.
Lost a couple rubber plugs..I was hoping that was all...no biggie, I will get some more at Home Depot.
On the way home I noticed my voltmeter never went past 13 volts. Unfortunately they were already closed, or I would have taken it back.
I have a feeling that they drained the battery down really bad when they were working on the reverse motor replacement.
I figured I would go ahead and plug it into the battery tender and see if it would come back...if not, then it will be a bit difficult to get them to replace it...after first 2 years it is viewed as a wear item and not covered. I got home and plugged the battery tender in...It's not connected to the battery!
In the last 6-7 years I cannot remember one time that I have had a bike into the dealership where they haven't screwed something up. The two worst times were sending me on my way with a dry transmission, the other time was sending me on my way with the front axle loose.
It wasn't always that way. They used to have actual mechanics working at the dealerships instead of these parts-changers that don't even understand what they are doing half the time.
I will probably hook the tender pigtail to the battery myself, lest they screw something else up trying to do that. Hopefully the battery will come back.
