Allright... Well, I contacted Kevin @ KS Cycleworks; He couldn't get it into the shop for a week, and then a week or more for the parts, then another couple of days from there. They have to store bikes outside (fenced in area) for the duration. There's a no go at KS.
Wild West will not work on Suzuki's if they need parts. So, nothing more than oil change and maybe plugs.
I figured; How bad could Stubbs screw it up, all they have to do is check the charging system, right?
Well, I get it back 3.5 freakin' frackin' hours later (needed a battery charge), and $40.00 later to tell me he *thinks* it needs a rectifier unit, but is not sure that will solve the problem. So, I'm on my way home, and the bike starts sputtering. Look down and notice the choke cable has fallen from it's socket, and no screw present.
I call Stubbs and am told that "I didn't even touch the cable".
Get back, raise the tank, and notice a molex looking plug just hanging there. Guess they didn't touch that either.
Most noteworthy, was when I saw the plug at the end of the wires that come from the rectifier unit and run through the battery compartment... yup, it was UN freakin' PLUGGED!
Aaaargh!
Next time the group majority warns me about one of these delearships and you think I'm heading over, swing by and drop a sledge-hammer on my left foot!

It also left a puddle oil on the garage floor.
On the first, they did not give me the rear seat cowling and griped when I made them come up with one. Since the bike was a 98 and I bought it in 2000, they were supposed to replace all the fluids: brake, oil, and clutch. They checked it off on the chart as having been done but when I started looking things over after getting the bike home, it was obvious that they had not done any of it. I had to take the bike all the way back down to Houston and they reluctantly agreed to do the service properly at no charge, all the while acting like they were doing me a huge favor. Even after they replaced all the fluids, I still had to go back and bleed the brakes and clutch myself :angryfir:
Have never been back since.
This was almost ten years ago, but the last time I checked, their service manager is one of the same techs that worked in the dept. when I first went there. Which really doesn't inspire my confidence.
