• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Longest its been in the shop?

5 days. I'm very direct whenever I drop it off for service and set up a specific pick-up date that I hold them to. I would not accept anything over 2 weeks for anything but a major teardown of the engine or tranny - and even then I'd be screaming if it hit 4 weeks.

Yeah-- I'm patient like that!:gaah:

I've done most all the maintenance myself - so I rarely see the shop - only for recall work or major stuff. No major problems --- had DPS done once and then again once the new version came out.

I stock many parts that seem to be popular breakdown items (bearings, sprockets, coolant tank, gaskets, etc.) to assure I won't have a wait for those parts. Going to order some shims soon too...
 
I'm with Dan on this one. I am fortunate in that I have a very good relationship with my dealer and we work well together. So far everything has been coordinated to the point where our machines have been in the shop and out the same day. Of course this means that I have not suffered a major failure of any kind. Only twice have I been stranded on the side of the road and both times my tech was able to walk me through procedures that got the machine started and running well enough to get me home. That's pretty fair reliability given I ride 95 miles minimum every day. :thumbup:
