Help Me Fool My Service Shop

[Fuzzy]

Had my NC700XD in for 16,000 mile service. Dealer is multi brand dealer. When I asked to verify he had a clutch oil filter he thought I was pulling his leg. Then when I told him I wanted my parking brake adjusted he was sure I was pulling his leg. I had brought the shop some Five Guys frys so he was willing to let me explain. .

Now that I have set the stage what should I ask him to check next time?

Go for broke, Cabin air filter and dome light. Tell 'em the Posi is slipping on the drivers side

Tell them your clutch Handel broke off and you need a new one put on,or adjusted.

Grease the muffler bearings, top up the blinker fluid, and make sure the tires are full of summer air. That winter stuff is just too damn dense.

Hey, Rick,
You could always ask what the shop labor rate is for adjusting the engagement point of the second clutch. Other than that, I'm coming up blank.

Tell him your having trouble reaching 88mph and the flux capacitor is playing up.



GREAT SCOTT

I'd also tell him that I'm taking it to a Honda dealer who actually knows that the NC exists and how to service them.

Tell him your having trouble reaching 88mph and the flux capacitor is playing up....

I dunno, considering the bike we're talking about that sounds about right....

Hmm, 16,000. Tell him that you think it's about time you added some fuel, but can't find the gas cap.

Check the power steering and the CV joints.

Seriously, I'd be circumspect about letting them work on it at all.

 

[Whiteknuckle]

dont forget to get your power band to correct specs

to further the blinker fluid idea, insist on the best blinker fluid Blinker Fluid - $18.95 : KaleCoAuto.com, Your home for the rare, unusual, and hard to find auto parts.

Issues getting in into neutral when the key is out of the ignition? (can you do that on the DCT?)
Traction control seems to be acting up?

Steering problems? Bike turns the the opposite direction of the steering?

 

[Spaceteach]

How about telling him it seems that downshifting seems to take a little more effort than when the bike was new and ask if you can just order a new button or would you have to get the entire handlebar control assembly?

On second thought why not just ask him to clean and lubricate the shifter mechanism. As in use electrical contact cleaner on the switch contacts followed by a very light coat of dielectric grease.

Ask him for a quote on painting the bike. Get a quote on striped paint
