[QUOTE="FJRBound, post: 1423298, member: 82848"] So I took my '16 ES in three weeks ago for spark plugs, TBS, air filter, lube everything that relies on grease, and diagnose a 40-MPH head shake with fresh tires. A long misadventure ensues -- they return the bike to me with the CEL lit (and greasy handprints all over the bike). It's 4:00 on Saturday, so they keep the bike; I Uber home. They clear the dreaded "side-stand" interlock code and deliver the bike the following Tuesday. The following weekend I go for an entertaining ride, then give the bike a quick cleaning, whereupon I discover an inch-long crack in one of the flat-black panels that comprise the fairing (inside the cockpit). My question: how much disassembly of the fairing did they have to do while performing the work described above? Your answer will help me to gauge the likelihood that it's the shop's fault. Second question: If any of you mechanically-skilled FJR pilots in the Denver area hold a wrenching seminar ...can I join you? The shop I went to is supposedly the best dealer in town, which is faint praise indeed. (The best-regarded independent shop in town managed to re-install the front wheel of my Super Tenere in such a way that the lead from the speed sensor came into contact with a brake rotor, rendering the bike with no ABS and no cruise control, 200 miles into a five-day trip.) Thanks! [/QUOTE]
