well i had my yfz 450 takin to the dealershi for what they called a "tune up service"...they changed oil, adjusted valves, and tightened chain...also did an alignment. well i went riding once i got in back and when iwas in a field 2nd gear went to turn and it just flipped on me and when i stood it back up my bars were to the right and it was going straight so i thought i bent my searing stem till i looked at it and i adjusted one side of the tie rods got to the other side and the nuts wernt even finger tight...so no my front end is out of alignment and my dad is callin the dealership tomarrow this is seriously bull. i paid 110 bucks for the to do that and now i end up with bent handlebars and a front end thats out of line

The only work my quad will see will be done by me, unless it's motor work, and that will be done by a motor builder, or someone I trust, which won't be a dealership.

when my bike was in there i told my dad that the dealership was a rip off and to let a motor builder do it. but no he said he trusts the people at the dealer ship because when ever he goes in there they explain to him what to do :confused: they told him how to change the oil i think we coulda figured it out but that was enough to get his trust until he saw what they were doin when we picked it up

not beiing an ***, but i do that myself...change oil, align the tierods, adjust the chain.... my dad taught me, he said u never know maybe some day u will be out in the middle of no-where and u have to adjust ur chain.... believe me, last weekend my friends chain just broke... we fixed that one up. :D

the best person to trus when fixing ur quad its urself..only when its some motor work. hehe
