They probably checked the level when the bike was on the side stand. |

Hi, not sure about the 09CR but my owners manual for my 10CR states to check oil while it's on the side stand. |

On the 08 a quick check can be done with the bike cold (sitting overnight) and on the side stand the oil should be right on the tip of the dipstick. |

Here is another dealer story. I took the Uly in to my local dealer for its first service. I watched the "tech" screw around for 20 minutes trying to get the seat off. He kept going to other techs and they didn't know how to get it off either. I finally had to go back and show him how to get the seat off. Needless to say, I won't take the 1125 there either. |

Randy I beg to differ with your cold check assessment. I tried it on my '08 R and ended up overfilling by about 1/2 qt. The cold check method was removed from the manual due to inconsistent results. The more I read about Harley Dealers servicing Buell's, the more convinced I am that I will never take mine in for anything. Fortunately I wasn't planning on it anyway, in 20+ years of driving I have only taken a vehicle to a mechanic once outside of warranty issues. That was a transmission rebuild on my T-bird Turbo Coupe and I regretted spending that $800 for years. I should have bought a new tranny and put it in my self! "Teaching a man to fish" always beats the heck out of giving him a fish. |
