Yeah. I just got angry. Ignorance is about education, not idiocy. Ignorance should not be so big a problem when people are being paid for their expertise, IMNSHO.

I guess the service desk are 'just' a middle man between the mech & customer, I suppose if they were an expert in mechanical stuff, they'd be in the workshop...

I'm feeling the need to do my own re-clearance & torque check upon it's return

Just wait until the dealer sends the replaced parts to Suzuki for reimbursement and get no money in return because they were not damaged.

The bike's ready for collection, I'll have to see if they've changed the oil too.

They gave me another call 1/2hr later to ask if the bike had service history & when the services had been done (date & mileage), which I thought rather odd....

The bike has been collected & taken for a chilly 110 mile shakedown run and all seems good after the stator swap & new cams/buckets/valve check.
Oil level is marginally overfull & one nut & bolt is missing from the crashbar joining clamp (- why do they need to remove the crash bars to remove fairing & rad????) But other than that they seem to have done a decent job.

God knows - I was a good boy and removed the belly pan and l.h. bracket before it went in. But engine bars?? sure it was there when it went in?

Yep, bolt was definately there. I notice these things!
Crash bars have definately been removed.

I too removed the belly pan, degreased/cleaned the ststor cover & removed bar muffs & various bits of my wiring that may slow the job.
It'll take me ages to get it back to how it was lol
