[QUOTE="redzgrider, post: 1349053, member: 38076"] Well, calmed down a little now. Was fit to spit nails for a while. It just keeps getting more interesting. I went to the dealer today, expecting to pick the bike up and nurse it home -- but when I got there it was still in pieces. They recognize that it isn't running correctly, with the idle dropping off intermittently, but continue to insist -- vehemently -- that the cams are in time. I even pressed that this assurance was made with #1 at top dead center, anticipating that they just verified the two aligned with each other, but the service writer insists #1 was indeed at TDC. O.K., fine. Service writer thinks they need to throw parts at it, but seems worried I won't pony up for them. He's right -- but I'm under warranty for another 2 years, and say so. He looks surprised, and checks the VIN. Sure enough, the YES is active so they will continue work. I remain un-convinced the cams aren't the issue, but if they want to throw parts at their cost, fine by me. Just don't be trying to charge me for anything past the clearance check -- I asked to see the clearance map, and not one valve was out of tolerance. NONE. All at the loose end of tolerance, exactly where I would have wanted them to be. So they pulled my cam for no reason. [/QUOTE]
