Tru.....I am pissed the shop didn't tell me. They charged me $150 to put both tries on. Seems like fixing it or buying a use one would be about the same.

Do you think that is from the dealer that put on the new tire, from riding or the highside????

I am calling the manger at dealership tomo. they said it's $90 to fix it so i hope that they will do it for free of for $45.
i don't care how strong the dealerships tire machine is, there is no way they could have done that. maybe a scrape or scratch but not that. why do people mess up there own bikes and always resort to try and have someone else pay for it. if they do you really have a nice dealership and you are taking advantage. they should have caught it when they did the tires.

the shop should not have been able to balance the tire/rim if it was bent...how did they do this then..either way they put your life in danger and should cut you a deal of sorts onthe repair....

Thats what i ask the manger and he siad they must of balanced with the bend and just made up for it.
I am going there tomo. i am not looking for free shit but i feel half off fixing the rim is more then far. If i went into a turn and the beed broken i would of been F#$%@# :scared. Even if i did bend the rim i would think the shop guys would pick up on this.
