I ride an older bike, over the years, it has gotten to the point where the carburation is so bad as to be unrideable.
I took it to bayley's and, after giving the me the requisite headache about it not looking brand *ing new (every motorcycle mechanic does it. If your parts are not brand new they will b*** and blame you. It happens, but then you don't ride to please them, do you?) he took the job, which is a relief, because half of the reason it looks poor is because of other motorcycle mechanics.
Anyway, guy gets the bike done in the scheduled timeframe but then tries to weasel out of taking responsibility for it running correctly. Says "put real gas- no ethanol in it." So I do.
Runs just like new!
Problem: there is only ONE station within 100 miles which sells ethanol-free gas. A motorcycle has about 100 miles in a tank. So I had to fill it up at a gas station which sells regular 91.
It now runs exactly the same as when I brought it to him.
I got ONE tank out of it, because if you are chained to a 50 mile radius (100mi /2) of that station which sells specialty fuel its NOT FIXED.
Mechanic blames "bad gas." One tank of standard 91, from a high volume station, as the manual calls for, doesn't destroy correctly done work.
Brad is friendly and timely to be sure, but, really, if a guy's work only runs on specialty gas, then its NOT DONE CORRECTLY
