Well, I phoned Fowlers about the non datatagging of my bike, apparantly they were so busy , being the new registration date, that they run out of the kits and it will be done next tuesday at the 1st service !! Not the best start to a 2 year dealership 'association' me thinks.
as for the recall, they (Fowlers) have heard nothing so maybe its just a stateside thing BUT ive read on FJ09.ORG that owners are getting emails/phonecalls from their dealers saying categorically NOT to ride their bikes, and people who have gone to pick their new bikes up and the dealership wont release the bikes to them :eek something to do with a shift shaft that could snap and lock the rear wheel up ? Unfortunately im away from home so unable to check my vin number againts the list of affected bikes, though none of the other Brits on the forum seem to be to bothered/affected so fingers crossed its a small batch of yank bikes.still not good though
oh, and thankfully Fowlers are still doing the 1st service free of labour charges :woot
