Took the bike in for a service at my local Honda dealership today (still under warranty). Got a lot of miles planned this summer so I told them to give it the full 24mth job. Now some of you may recall me muttering about this dealership in a thread that Jaws started about a crap front suspension job done by a dealer. Well, today the arseholes surpassed themselves!
On collection I started up the bike outside the shop but didn't set off immediatly. I decided to take a look around to see if they had as usual forgoten something or left something loose. Seemed OK until I looked at the temperature gauge, 111 and rising, no cooling fan! Went back in and told them, a young muppet comes out and says with a grin "oh, I suppose I should reconnect it then" and rolls it back in the workshop, I watch for a few mins then go to get a coffee and try to reduce my blood pressure. About 15 minutes later somebody else turns up and informs me they can't work out what's wrong with the fan just yet and there is another problem! They hadn't put the rocker cover in place properly and oil was pissing out!
If anyone in the Lancaster area is considering having any model Honda serviced at the local Honda dealership - DON'T DO IT! You will regret it, they are crap, this incident is the third of three service cock-ups experienced by me at this dealership.
