Default My bike is fucked

Yeah itsd actually been down since Friday.I get out of work,let it warm up till about 104.(which was still warm from mid day)

Started to go out the drive way at my job and the bike just died,bogged out.

So I try to start it and nothing.I over checked everything,couldnt see whats going on.
I pulled the tank up,and noticed a little water by one of the coils.So I tried to dry it and nothing,so not gettign to involved.I left the bike at my job.

I go back the next day hoping the bike would have dried up some.I try to start it and same shit.

I called the dealership and explained to them the situation.
They guy said it sounds like I have spark problems. (spark plugs)

Its not covered under warrenty.
Keep in mind I have had my bike for about5 months,6k miles.

I told them how I did mechanic work for almost 8 yrs,and in the dealerships even plugs as a wear item,or anything at that.
Under 12/12 12 months/12,000 miles that is defective can be warrentied out.

They said it dont work like that with a bike.So they want to charge me 1 hr labor check out time to check the plugs.So I just buy the plugs from discount $3.50 each (?Motorsport $5.50 each) and changed them yesterday.

Well I know this is dumb,but the fuel pump wasnt coming on.I know you can hear the pump when you turn the key,but yesterday I heard 2 noises.The exhaust valve,and some sort of maybe relays in that same area..

Since I had the tank off,they suggested me to jump 12v power to test the pump.and I did..so the pump is fine..
I have maybe a relay problem or a wire problem.I couldnt trace back wire to check cause I didnt have a test light.But they said it "sounds" like it would be a warrenty issue.

Why are they so fuckin anal about whats warrenty or what not?
I was just going to buy the relay and change it myself,to aviod any more down time on my bike and not having these people dick me around for a week.But then I find out the relay is $92. so i said fuck it.

Bike is at my job,and im riding a R1 right nowand want my dam bike back!.

Also is there anyone in Tampa,TNC/Carrolwood area with a utility trailer?
I have Cammo Ammo going to help me get the bike to the dealer.But its just real tight on time,with his work schedual and the dealership hours.
They close at 6.

Kevin,I been tring to call you.Get with me.

the manufacturer has the final say on what is and isnt warranty work, not a dealership.

problem is not fixed.

The bike is under warrenty,so I dont want to really buy a relay that It will be fixed under warrenty.It might not eve4n be a relay might be a short in the harness (its possible)

But I will keep you in mind if I need it.

I called you a while back Mike and you never answer.We rode a few time on Sunday together.

Yeah they fuckin do.Before you finish explaining them the problem they ask you for 1 hour labor check out time.

When I was still turning wrenches at auto dealerships.If its under warrenty,its under warrenty.

If the warrenty is out,then you will know ahead of time,how they will handel it.

I just dont want to get my bike fixed,then have them try to charge me $2xx. to get it fixed.
