So I get a call to pick up my bike on Saturday, and i'm there as soon as they open. They pull the bike out wash it and hand me the keys.
Starts up first try and I'm a happy camper. I even had them install a new throttle and choke cable that i had. Take the bike out on to the main road redline 1st, 2nd & 3rd and it feels like a new bike. I get to the stop light and get ready to pull out and it dies. The tank is empty so I fill it up figuring that the bike has been sitting for like a month. Head back to the dealer and it dies 2 times before I get there.
The head mechanic calls yesterday and starts explaining how he rebuilt the carbs a adjusted the floats. I told him that I would understand if I had a problem a few days of hard riding before the problem came back .But I only made it 2 blocks, he starts telling me about it being an older bike and unknown jet kit. So bottom line is he said he he would split the difference in labor to spend another few hours to get it right.
Now this is the bike before I get a new bike and I'm ready to just pick it up and put a for sale sign on it.
Sorry for the long post.
