Ok, so I get the bike back yesterday after I highly suggested they re-adjust the belt. The belt seems to be where it should be. They tightened the muffler clamp, but there is still a loss of air pressure. I will be definitely taking ya'lls advice and connecting the muffler better with help from a professional if need be...not this service center.
The parking brake still does not keep the bike from rolling.
Once again, they cannot get the parking brake to set where the bike will not roll. It takes a bit of pushing pressure, but it should not roll at all. The first time I got the bike back, they said they set the parking brake but come to find out as I was driving away, they tightened it to the point of over tightening which then set off the parking brake sensor light. I stopped, got off and just left. It took them another day to figure out why.
I have never noticed the rolling until after all the issues with this service center that the bike moved...so I cannot say for sure they screwed it up like the other things when changing the tire and replacing the rotors and messing up with calipers.
I tested rolling it before I left. It rolls easier than before!!! All they said was that is the tightest they can set the parking brake and I need a new cable. I strongly asked again to try and adjust. So, while in the hot parking lot these two guys are on the ground tightening the two nuts on the cable
They get the cable tightened just enough before over tightening. That's as far as they will go. And I can come back if I want them to replace the cable.
After all the crap I've been going through, I decided to look up some things within this forum and others. I found one video of a guy adjusting his parking brake, but for a RT. He adjusted the brake lever and then used the nuts for fine tuning. He removed a nut holding the lever and rotates the bar inside and then puts the lever back on...that's basically it. Here's the video URL if anyone has not seen it yet...pretty short and to the point:

I did not see these service guys do that or even mention it.
Can my ST-S parking brake be adjusted like the RT in the video? It has a bolt instead of a nut as shown below. I'm afraid they screwed up my cable or more. They kept talking about an actuator under the panels and such...sigh.
I apologize for any grammar mistakes...I'm a bit upset and at work, so...ya know. I thought of buying a service manual...
Reminder: This is my 2014 ST-S SE5 toggle switch parking brake (not manual)
