Well BS has started...
1. they were supposed to call me today after they spoke to the bike shop next door, but I spoke to the parts guy and he said no one from the car wash has been over. The mechanics are at lunch untill 2pm so will call back then to confirm.
2. The guy said they the 'mechanic/s' he spoke said I must have painted the covers myself and that why it happened. My reply was no, the engine & covers are as they come from the manufacturer, from yamaha - the fucking cheek!
3. After listening to the wash guy bullshit some more he finally said that they wont be able to do anything, but I replied the paintwork has been damaged I exspect those guys to atleast attempt to clean the staining. Once they find they 'cant' clean it I will go down the route of getting them to go halfs on either repainting them or getting s/h replacements on ebay.
So as agreed yesterday with his dad, I am going back there on Saturday, but realistically I can't see what they are going to be able to do. I am not buy new covers as the prices are ridiculous, so have started looking for them on ebay and asked on the forum. Have already found a potentially clean generator cover on there, so all thats left is the cam, clutch and timing covers.
