Cracked Radiator Update

[desertdog]

Got the bike back from the Dealer yesterday. They replaced it and installed new gaskets and a new drain plug and washed it.

It seems to run well, I will give it a test this weekend.

I had to take the service manager out to the bike to closely examine the saddle bag doors.

He agreed that the left door appears warped and there is a gap that will allow them to leak.

Supposedly they had the bags off to try to adjust the doors, but he said that there is no way to adjust the doors or the latches. Why they did not see the gap when re installing them is a mystery, unless as I suspect they did not really make any effort to see look at what was wrong or actually take the doors off.

He did say that he would ask Kawa to replace the left hand door, but was not real optimistic they would agree altho he did say it is a warranty issue.

I will give him a week or so and do a follow up. It is rather frustrating, but at least I got the bike for the weekend.
