I called 2 of my local shops, they wanted $200+ before even looking at the bike because it was a 96. That was their minimum diag fee.DMIntruder wrote:In that instance isn't it better that they just take it to a mechanic? Then he can HEAR, SEE, SMELL, FEEL the problem. Makes perfect sense to me.
So I have dove in head first.. I do my best to search and read looking for nuggets of information I can use.
Sometimes I misread things, like the fuel petcock on the tank.... Right DM?
And I made an ass of myself and apologized.
I sometimes feel like a pain in the ass... It mostly because of my lack of knowledge working on motorcycles. I have tons of faith in my abilities working on cars, computers, and other mechanical things, but I feel very insecure in my abilities when it comes to my bike.
Not sure why, maybe because of the safety of my life and being stranded, not wanting to have to push my bike.
