Really P'd off.
Basically the story goes like this...
I am currently trading in my old Yamaha 125 today for a Honda Cbr600. So out of goodwill I decided to put my bike in for a service yesterday so its all nice and fresh for the new owner.
Anyway, yesterday I pick the bike up and ride it back to my house which is about 3 miles from the bike place. Didnt notice anything different apart from the choke automatically shutting off... normally have to turn it off myself.
Anyway, this morning I thought I would go out into the garage and give the old girl one final clean before she is picked up tonight.
I decide to start her and notice that she is running lumpy and the choke not really doing anything. Never had any problems before as its only done a few thousand miles.
It starts to bother me as to why its running lumpy.. surely after a service it should be sweet as a nut. So off I go and break open the tool box and decided to look at the spark plug. Out it comes, and it is clearly a new spark plug but the end of it looks burnt with an oil deposit around the end.
I dont know much about mechanics but even I knew that it wasnt right. Scratching my head I decided to check the engine oil.. Well, I undone the cap and the oil was virtually at the top of the threaded bit.
How the fook can people be allowed to work on other peoples things when they cant even do a simple oil change. As I say I dont know much about mechanics, but even I know too much oil can lead to a world of hurt.
So with the dealer on way to come and collect my bike, I have had to sit out there and drain about a litre from the engine. Fortunately it seems to be running a lot better now and I just hope it hasnt damaged the engine.
Where do you think I stand if the dealer starts the bike in a week or so and the engine just pisses oil everywhere?
What would you guys do.
