Hi All,
Just thought i'd share my problems ! (has been fully documented on forums over last two weeks but this is the quick version)
Purcahsed Brand new 08 DX Sept 2008.
covered 2500 miles (first service by supplying dealer)
Had fitted by dealer Remus pipes, VH Fuelpak , KN air filter.
12th April 2009 Water temp light came on / coolant Expansion tank expelled small amount coolant.
Collected by HD 14th in workshop Three days !!!!! was told inspected ran , road tested , pressure tested , and bike is A OK ! no faults
Collected bike , ran it on the 19th April same fault occured , HD collected again in the workshop 2 days they called me to say yes the Rad cap was faulty and had been replaced , collected the bike 9miles later
Same fault occured ?
After spitting my dummy out in the dealer after riding it back there , been in there since last Thursday and so far have been told that water pump gasket is leaking (internal) Air bleed screw is crossed threaded.
called today and told one of the head bolt's is bent due to a screw being trapped under the head bolt which has meant the head is not sitting as it should and has caused a head gasket leak !
been told all parts ordered and on overnight tech will rebulid tomorrow and my bike will be ready to collect
Hope it is OK as it's going to ireland next week on one of my first trips of the year !
bearing in mind this was a brand new bike !
