Well the mechanic said that it would probably be done friday at close.... it wasnt, surprise surprise.... So i called again today, i asked for the owner, bill, he wasnt there. So i told the girl that answers the phone is my bike done? NO.... he was waiting on the valve keepers, he got those but he needed those to put the correct valve shim in... so she said hes waiting on the vavle shim......I was " i dont think so" lemme talk to the service manager.... so i talk to him for awhile and he tells me that they dont stock valve shims..... WTF they dont have valve shims..... how f*cked up is that...... So i tell him this is gettin crazy here i just want my damn bike back... He apologized, and he didnt know the whole story about my bike, and told me he is going to get him on it asap and he "thinks" that they have some valve shims... and he said he is going to have the mechanic work on it tomorrow, so i guess if they can find some valve shims i MIGHT get my bike back tomorrow... if they dont find shims, ill have to wait for them from kawi..... how crazy is that... the KAWI dealer doesnt have parts to do routine maintenaince...... GRRRRRRRRRR So guess what i ordered when i got off the phone.... hot cams 7.48mmvalve shim kit.... The mechanis said that they will need adjusted again because of the head and new valves..... ill do it..... bastards.... im SOOOO pisssed. Slacker of a mechanic, or should i call him a parts changer..... not very good at being a mechanic.... Ya know when you go to the dealer to check on your bike and you see the service manual open beside your bike on the lift...... something doesnt seem right with that...... im probably a better mechanic than him.....god damn....... Sorry just a little venting...... i think you guys can appreciate my frustration..... i havent had my bike for 3 1/2 months in the 13 months ive had it...... [:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@]

RE: More of my bike..... called again.
Hey Eric,
I feel really bad about your bike, and all the dickin' around the dealer is doing, but you gotta realize there's a higher purpose thing going on here:
I'm not a Trekkie, but there's a line where Spock says "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few", and ever since your bike has been in the shop, you've been kickin'butt over on that HOTD thread! So for the sake of everyone else here, I hope you don't get your bike back for a long, LONG time!!!
[sm=joke.gif][sm=joke.gif][sm=joke.gif]
Seriously, I hope the dealer does get his "poop in a group", and gets your bike back to you quickly without any more bull****. But in the meantime ... don't look for any other hobbies to occupy your time -- the HOTD thread needs you!!! [sm=drooldude.gif][sm=drooldude.gif][sm=drooldude.gif]

let me put this in another way, CALL KAWI NOWyour getting no where with the dealer. I no it sucks and I hate to make compaint calls but you should get on the phone and let them know whats going on.
