1st Service ,,brake Issues,

I would be looking for my money back that should have been done either in the factory or as part of the dealers check/preparation before they give you the bike.
Interested to hear what they said to you about that.

 

Agreed, should have been done before being sold, only takes about 30 Min to do though..

I would also ask them to put a decent coating of grease on the hub and suspension links... notorious for being dry

I asked specifically for this at my major service, I don't think they did though as I adjusted the chain recently and it was almost solid, so I will need to do this myself now

 

As DD says. Plus, they are not to know if an owner has stripped down the brakes before and re-assembled without any grease themselves.

 

Ask any mechanic and they will all have a list of stupid things owners have done. Unless you've maintained the bike yourself you really cannot be sure what's been done to it previously.

 

once a year or twice remove calipers and take out pads pump pistons out (not too much) and clean up with toothbrush,either hot soapy water or use brake cleaner keeps pistons from sticking and expensive rebuilds.
