[QUOTE="ELP_JC, post: 301392, member: 6177"] Hope this story encourages people to work on their bikes. NONE of us was born knowing how to work on our bikes. And after cases like this, can you do any worse???? It's not rocket science. And the few tools you might need to buy (a jack, etc) can be used again, and on your cars too. I live in a small town too, and had to learn all by myself. With every project I've accumulated more tools, and now I can almost do anything. And more than the satisfaction and savings of doing the work yourself, nobody cares more about your life and your machine than YOU. If you're careful, and label things when taken apart, it's very hard to screw something up. And even if you do, it's usually seals and such, which are a lot cheaper than paying $80/hr for labor, plus you learned how to do something else. If you have the time and the desire, you can probably do anything on your bike cheaper than taking it to a dealer, and at your convenience. Enough. Later gang. JC [/QUOTE]
