> Saturday before last when we went to pick it up, my ex and I got in a big

> proceeds to back up his idiot service writer and says “you should never use
> a fuel filter on a gravity feed carburetor”. HUH???  Has anyone on this
> list ever been told a crock like this?  I had started right off telling the
> service manager my background and not to treat me like I’m some clueless
> customer, but obviously he could not have cared less. He proceeds to tell
> me the technology has changed and you aren't supposed to use fuel filters
> on non-injected bikes anymore. Funny, but the petcock and fuel line on the
> 69 Honda Mini-Trail I once owned look exactly like the petcock and fuel
> line on her 2006 TTR-125 and they both use carburetors. When he said this I
> just grabbed the receipt out of his hand told him this was a f***ing waste
> of my time and walked to the cashier and paid the bill. Marsha sat and
> argued with the guy while I was loading the bike up. She is actually much
> better at arguing than I (
> she’s an insurance adjuster) and ripped the guy
> up for losing a customer and for their complete lack of customer service.
> This butt head actually told her he tells his service people to hard upsell
> services like tank cleans, etc.  I’m sure he tells customers not to use
> fuel filters so he gets to do lots of carb cleans.  He actually said that
> the tank was full of very dirty gas (I had dumped four float bowls of the
> fresh gas I had just put into the bike) and when Marsha said we would be
> contacting the owner he throws out that he had already talked to the owner
> and shown him the dirty gas. Sure he did, I bet he shows the owner every
> tank of dirty gas that comes in the shop, dim wit. Even Marsha had enough
> of his lies and BS and walked out. Interestingly, there was this very
> attractive gal yelling at another service writer and she was madder than
> hell at them. She had a large Suzuki Boulevard cruiser she was picking up
> and was mad because they had screwed something up. While I was loading
> Jamie's bike, I watched her load her bike up in her trailer (of course I
> did, she was definitely worth looking at!) and we exchanged waves when we
> left because she knew how pissed we were too.
> 
> We will write a letter to the owner and won't be nice. It will do no good,
> but after I put my bad experience out on the internet and pass the word
> around to other people, I will damn well cost these assholes more than
> $175. When we got home from Grand Pricks, I started it up and rode it
> around to be sure it was running okay which it was. Later that evening,
> when we came home from dinner, there is a foot round puddle of gas under it
> and the garage stinks of gas. I rolled it outside and found: 1. The carb
> overflow hose is not connected. 2. He lost the clamp that goes on the hose
> from the air box to the carb. This is one where I had converted the factory
> clamp to Allen head, now there is a shiny 25 cent hose clamp on it. 3. The
> new fuel line he installed is about 3/4 inch too short, so when the petcock
> is turned on, it leaks. Un-f-ing-believeable!!
> So, as I told the idiot at Grand Pricks, I am spreading the word, if you
> are anywhere near the Denver area, never take a bike to Grand Pricks
> Motorsports for service of any kind unless you like crappy service.
