Ok if you've followed my previous thread... I didn't think things would get worse but after I cleaned up the headers the best I could, I put the fairing back on and realised the left side (looking forwards) frame slider was just spinning and the other side was tight as a rock. The bike was cold and so I got my torque wrench -set it to the spec in the service book and put it on the bolt head... it span without any force at all. I put a jack under the exhaust and put a chock of wood between to support the engine. The bolt came out with ease and is fine but had the alu thread of the engine mount hole on the end. Had a look inside the hole... low and behold its stripped. If I knew I could swear on here.. now would be the time to do it.
How does this problem get fixed? so when I call the dealer I can sound at least a little informed. Also having only owned the bike for 2 days would you guys be kicking up a fuss too and get them to fix it at their cost or am I in for a bumpy ride. They've had to give me the legal 3 months warranty so do you think it would be covered? The dealer said it doesn't cover wearable parts but that's all he said. Just to give all the facts - they gave the bike a 12K mile service without even doing an oil and filter change.
I feel sick to my gut. I'll have my reliable and known to me Fz6 back now please. :surrender:
For those who haven't seen the other thread.. this bike is an '07 with 12k -13k miles.
Anyway, I hope some of that makes sense because tbh I feel a bit shaky at the moment about it all and don't know what to do.
