Wheel balancer $59 Tire bar $5.99 Bead breaker $19.99 I'm considering getting the wheel stand from HF for $49 and I need to buy the plastic inserts to prevent scratches after I get my rims repainted but otherwise I'm good to go. My bike is under warranty until Nov 2010 so I'll just take it elsewhere if I need major service. |

I live in Greenville,NC check for service shops here and you'll have your answer. Plus, I have the extended warranty on my bike so I have to go to a Suzuki authorized center or I risk voiding it. Simple. Oh and the fact that I'm too lazy to drive 100+ miles round trip to take it elsewhere...

We have a local Duc dealer (Speed's, 1o minutes from me) here who is the same way. Took my ST2 to him and his butchers the first time. Standard Duc tune up of $800 bucks.....and for that I got missing bodywork screws, an untorqued torque arm on the rear brake which came loose and snapped the rear brake line, and a valve check that never happened ( brought it in for the 6k service with a too loose closer on the intake; when I picked it up, it was still ticking). When I brought it back 15 mins later with the list of issues and a hanging rear brake line, owner told me he couldn't get to it for 3 weeks (had it there waiting for service intially for three weeks) and they would have to charge me standard shop rate for any further work they did. When I complained that the work ordered and paid for wasn't done or done incorrectly, and that I paid for work that wasn't finished, he told me I could take my business somewhere else.
So I did; I bought a Duc manual from Coleman's and learned to do the Duc myself. Now I'll drive the 45 minutes to Coleman's for parts because I vowed to never give aholes like Speed another dime. |

![]() Man, it's amazing that some of these places stay in business at all! I once had a transmission job done on my '97 YZF1000R at Shawmutt Hills Yamaha in Grand Rapids, Mi and the mech didn't seat the shift shaft seal correctly... every time I pulled in the clutch oil would leak out onto my rear tire. Luckily I noticed it on my way home from the shop. ![]() Shit, I could tell "dealer horror stories" all day. I don't think that I've ever had a dealership NOT fuck something up on a bike that I've owned. To be honest, I don't really get angry anymore because I half expect problems now. ![]() |

I'd be the first one over (with a 12 pack of beer in hand)to help you fix your bike.
