OK, got back from the dealer a couple hours ago from having 1000 service, accessories (purchased with the deal) installed, upgrade the audio and install the DK customs shock kit as well as the oil filter relocation and oil cooler.
The good:
Thumbs up on the shock kit. Bike rides better and steers way easier without being squirrelly.
Thumbs up on the oil filter relocation/cooler. The dealer didn't like the way the oil cooler was crammed in the little spot and doesn't think it will do much good, but pulling the hard hill coming up out of the valley at 80mph/100 degrees, at the top I stop to check oil temp and it was 250. Two weeks ago at 80 degrees it was running 260-270.....
The factory stage one audio. It's not much louder, but is much clearer and more distortion free at the higher volumes required for 80 mph on the interstate.
The bad:
I had asked them to adjust the passing lamps, which were kitty-wampus when I got the bike (they missed it during pre-delivery). They didn't do it..........
After I had driven 30 miles to get home, as I am about a half mile out, I stopped at a stop sign. I smelled oil burning, but I was behind an old beat up pickup, so didn't think a whole lot of it. After I turned, still following that pickup, I looked down on both sides and checked my rearview mirrors. I didn't see any oil nor blue smoke, so continued home. As I got less than 100 ft from my driveway, the oil light comes on. I hit the kill switch and coasted in. Upon inspection, it had blown a hose off the oil filter adapter at the oil filter and oil was everywhere except in the pan where it should have been.
So far, the dealer is handling it OK. He sent the tech to my door to fix it (60 mile round trip) and get some oil in it. I'll be taking it back tomorrow for a good bath and will discuss possible long term damage, oil soaked left rear brake pads, oil soaked drive belt (are they oil resistant?), etc......
Oh yeah, they installed a stage one purchased with the bike, but didn't do the stage one fuel map. Service writer told me they generally don't do it when changing the pipes and A/C.........BS......I'll do it myself as I have a tuner and cables........as well as do the auto-tunes
YMMV
