I got it back from the dealer as I explained in a previous thread.

Some days later, while performing the oil change.

I noticed some scratches here and there...

SO GUYS, PLEASE. FILL THE FORM WHEN YOUR DROP IT OFF, STATING THE CONDITION.
GET A COPY OF IT, OF COURSE

WHEN YOU GET IT BACK. PERFORM A NICE VISUAL INSPECTION AND WHY NOT WITH A FLASH LIGHT.

Once you leave the dealer, you are pretty much screwed.

I estimate the cost of my stupidity around $300 to $450.

LESSON LEARNED.

Yea the first and second time I was there for warranty work I asked when I dropped off don't I need to sign anything and they said no, and when I picked the bike up same thing. Now I know everyone there by name and they know me so there's a good relationship even tho they have messed up a few things.. but yea paperwork would kinda be nice to have for my own records.

Hi Guys,

It is up to You guys.

No paper work means , you are screwed when something goes wrong.

And when something goes wrong, what`s next. Let`s go to court!

With no paperwork, the judge will give you a mean look.... hellloooooooo

So Now, I tell you guys. for me I get My shit together when I drop off the bike.

Smile or no smile, Hello Sir or no Hello Sir. Give me my paperwork and let`s do an inspection when IN, when OUT.

A bon entendeur SALUT ; )

Ride fun, ride safe.
