[dsn_klr650] check my own valves now...

  While I enjoyed the commentary on how to dispose of used oil, that wasn't really a factor in why I had the bike serviced. Anybody in the collective have something to say about my original questions? 1) What damage may have happened/should I be on the look out for after running the KLR from 10,000km to 15,000km (6,000 - 9,000 miles) without any filtering? Probably didn't do too much damage. Don't think anyone can say for sure. Would depend a lot on whether bigger stuff got loose during that particular time period. 2) What can I/should I expect the dealership to do about this?   Deny it, shuffle their feet, look away, clear their throats, assure you that it was an unimportant oversight, offer you condolences, smile a lot, laugh a little...nervously, and pat you on the back while gradually easing you toward the door.

[...] Anyone out there feel like organising an email petition to Kawasaki asking them to give their dealers a kick up the arse? How many people here would sign on? Then there are other lists for other Kwak models, too. I doubt we're the only ones screwed by their authorised dealers. If Kawasaki gets some idea of the ratio of dissatisfied customers compared to the satisfied customers, they might start to get the idea that sales might be affected (and that's what they really care about).
