Stealerships says DON'T RECOMMEND!!!

[Zoinks!]

I think you had it right the first time... They do not want the liability...   can not blame them I suppose.. if anything goes wrong, first thing that happens is people get all "Lawyered" up and sue the pants off them..

If they don't want the liability then they need to close the shop down. A service shop is just one big, huge, liability. It doesn't matter if you're changin oil or doin an engine job; there's still liability involved. What happens if they change the oil, but forget to fill it? Or don't get the filter tight, or leave the old filter seal on? What happens is you either have a locked up engine, or you have a leak that can very easily end up in you goin down on the way home from the back tire gettin oil on it. So you see, it doesn't matter what they're doin, it's still a liability. At least with this they would most likely start sliding slowly and you would be able to notice before it got so far that you had a big issue. They're supposed to be professional techs. Granted, everyone makes mistakes from time to time, but if they're so worried about it that they won't take work in, then they just need to go ahead and close the shop down. Just my

I was telling a guy witha venture royale that I was going to install an exhaust system. He was like won't that void your warrenty. I explained to him that the main thing that will go wrong with the busa is the 2nd gear thing, a known problem that they won't take responsibility for. Do it your self cause even if the stealership does the work and something goes wrong 9 times out of ten they wont stand behind it.

sure it is, but as you know (you are a tech) if you use someone elses parts and they fail, who gets blamed?

Now from the point of the service manager (whom you know is at the bottom of the crap pile when it comes down the hill) A customer wants one of your techs it install a mission critical part of unknown origin...

I would not even install customer supplied parts in my shop.. had enough problems with parts that were "quality" (rebuilt clutches, electrical stuff, water pumps etc..)

When I worked for GM as a heavy line tech, they only allowed GM Genuine parts to be installed. I would expect a bike dealer to be pretty much the same is all.

run forest run!!! away from that dealership, youll be happy you did it yourself and plus you get to learn more about your Busa...

 

[06limited1st]

Do it yourself! There's a great guide on here with pictures that'll help you through it, very easy stuff.

Those are part of the risks of being a dealership. They have to accept that if they want to stay in business. The worst they should do is refuse to warranty a non-oem part.

--Wag--

I know I'm not going to the dealership now... But as I was explaining to HeavyBUSA what will I do when I get the turbo? I guess I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and travel from Grandforks AFB, North Dakota to a respectable shop that is near one of you guys. The farthest I will probably travel is to Kansas from where I am for the turbo install

 

[MO-BUSA]

for that turbo install i would recommend Steve Smithers @ Smithers Customs they are a board sponser...and they are located in Kansas.
