My line of thinking was if they had it open for the repair then the inspection couldn't be more than 30 minutes on my dime. Did you try using that line of reasoning with them? -A
I use this dealer mainly for parts, tire mounting and any warranty work. They are good mechanics and nice people but even with the cover already off, it was too much just for an inspection. Especially on a bike that most likely will not need any adjustment in the near future.
I have an independent mechanic that will do the inspection for much cheaper after the bikes' warranty is up later this year. I'll probably do the inspection a bit after 10K.
And other than a quick scare from some bad gas, my 1100 is still running beautifully.
