Keep the faith and I'll say a prayer for you and your bike. I'd be well beyond pissed if that happened to me! I sincerely hope it all pans out and by all means keep us posted on how things finally conclude.
For instance, the two rubber sealing rings around the base of the intake horns inside the airbox were both mushroomed up instead of down, i.e., they weren't sealing anything. The engine was sucking air through the large resulting gaps instead of through the filter - can you say accelerated engine wear! Had I not pulled apart the airbox, I never would have discovered this. Found a couple of other missing and/or untightened fasteners, too, which I corrected. After reassembling and QA'ing everything (no left over fasteners!), I took her out for a ride and had good results - optest sat. Still a little lumpy at idle, but I think I'll let another shop sort that out. 
Thanks, Bill. I've already provided a handwritten list of all the discrepancies to the service manager and I've also drafted a letter to the owner with whom I've spoken personally. Oh, yes, this is gonna go on record.Bill_Anderson said:
