Well, one thing is BigRedWood, being that guy behind the counter, I see a lot of the bad Buell riders that come in too. Its not always the dealers fault. A lot of Buell guys try to work on their own bike, or have not qualified people doing work and that can cause nightmares all over. Second, a Buell is part Harley. The cylinders and pistons are the exact same part numbers just for one example. Hell, the XR1200 is Buell fuel injection, forks and heads. So whether you like it or not, they share some characteristics. Third if you are a mechanic, you should know not to just start ordering and throwing parts at a bike just to get it fixed. You have to properly diagnose the bike, replace the broken part and move on. Thats how dealers get bad reps for jacking people around is just throwing parts at the bike and blowing money away because its not theirs. I know I would be pissed if they were doing that to my bike. Fourth, its kinda hard to diagnose and fix a bike without actually having my hands on it. Service history, modifications to the bike, mechanic competentcy, rider competentcy can all be factors on how hard it can be to diagnose also. Which traces back to if the person they are dealing with at their dealer is jacking them around and giving them the straight story or not. Plus I get tired of explaining the same thing several times. Not that its that big of a deal, but thats what the search function is for. You need to look around other posts and see if someone else has shareda a similar problem and how they got it fixed. But if anyone needs real help just address a post straight to me. I dont always read every single post to know if people need better help then what they are getting. I will do my best to get them fixed or pointed in the right direction.
