And a word of warning. Never take your Suzuki to a HD dealer for state inspection unless you want your bike back broken.

OK.....How do you break something by inspecting it? Huh

The inspector removes the gas tank and throws away a rubber bushing. That’s how. When I got the bike home it was missing a gas tank bushing and failed the inspection for a loose gas tank. Wasn’t loose when I rode it in there....

What were they "inspecting" when they removed the tank?

I asked that very question. Reply was the non-answer “ it’s standard procedure”....
My butt it is!
I left a google review for them describing the experience.

My reply would've been... You know a good mechanic would've been able to put the tank back on correctly.

you can glue the tank rubbers on with rtv... just to keep idiots like this at bay.

Like the bike was desecrating holy space or something.

No one at a Harley dealer wants a jap bike in or near the building. When I ride my tracker over there it always collects a small crowd of lookers and haters , screw them !
