Two wheels good.

I think I'm just enjoying a lightweight revvy bike, not what I'm used too.

That twoo

I'm considering changing the fork oil too, I've no idea if or when it's been done before so it's probably a good idea.

I've lost track.

Is this the bike you bought last week from a dealer?

Ben

Yes, with no service history. So if it hasn't been done it's 4k overdue.

Did they try and say it was "sold as seen" or something?

They are legally obliged to fix things like those brakes.

Why are you wasting your time and money doing it?

I can see both side of it yes the dealer is obliged to fix it but who knows how well they will do the job. As long as the price was right (Not paid full retail) then sorting things out yourself is usually better as at least you know they are done.

At least make them pay for the parts.

I could but in all honestly I cba to argue with them about it. I'd rather just do it, I know it's done right & so forth. I'll keep it long term so the last thing I want is badly done work on it that'll cause hassle later on.

Maintain your bike they said, it'll be fun and prevent problems they said...
One pinch bolt on the fork lowers snapped, I've still not sorted that. I've drilled it out but there's a bit still stuck. The front spindle was seized in it's thread must a spacer on the front wheel was damaged so the spindle was trapped. That's all now sorted.
Forks have got fresh oil in that was definitely needed, so once I finish sorting the broken bolt I can put put it all back together and go back to waiting for oil cooler to be ready.

And this is why you need several bikes?

Every bike I own is broken or not fully built, which isn't quite how I'd planned things.
