Ride Report - Laser Alignment and BajaRon anti-sway bar
We took the Fat White Chick to Central FL Powersports in Kissimmee for a laser alignment. While it was there I asked them to install the BajaRon anti-sway bar, since I don't have the capability to raise the FWC far enough above my garage floor to install it.
We stayed up in that area an extra night, so we did a short ride to dinner. I was encouraged that the bike didn't seem as twitchy as before the install.
Today we rode home, using FL-92 and 17, in the rain. I can really tell the difference, The bike doesn't seem to hunt around inside its lane anymore, and it is much less sensitive to car and truck turbulence. FL roads tend to be slick this time of year when it rains, and I didn't feel any slipping or sliding due to turbulence. The ABS worked when I had to stop quickly a couple of times for quick red lights and stupid drivers.
An attaboy to Central FL Powersports. I dropped the bike promptly at 9 AM, and as noon approached I asked about the status. They said the tech was not satisfied with the first laser alignment when he test drove it, so they did it a second time. They also told me to bring it back if I am not satisfied with the tracking over the next couple of months. Can't complain about that level of service.
I also asked if a laser alignment has to be done again anytime in the future. I was told no, unless the bike hits anything or impacts a big pothole or anything like that. I hadn't seen that comment on the forum, so I will add it here.

That was mentioned previously; but, that is always good to reinforce it because of the new members, and others that may have missed it.

LAZER ALIGNMENT
The Tech didn't think He aligned it correctly after a TEST drive !!!!!!.........I will admit I'm not an Expert on LAZER ALIGNMENT , however I have observed it being done ( start to finish ) a few times. Soooooooooo I have a concern that the TECH was not familiar with HOW TO DO IT ( may be He was learning on your's ) . I say this because the ROLO system leaves no room for error that I can see ......It's either right or wrong .......somewhat or almost = wrong .........JMHO.....Mike

The process is one thing. Each bike has minor differences, and I think it is great that the tech did it again! I don't release them until I am happy, either! Fussy? Yep. How we roll.....

Wether he's learning on his or not, you're giving him a hard time because he wants to do it right
