CAA/AAA plus is the way to go. Had it for years. Have used it for bikes a few times. The membership pays for itself with the discounts I get using it at hotels, restaurants, etc.
Put just short of 50k milkes on an 07' before I sold it with zero problems. Like everyone else said, they are pretty bullit proof motors and you'll love the torque!!!! It'll be a nice surprise after test riding a 500. Very easy to work on and maintain. Oil was changed every 3k miles religiously...
Do we over think? Absolutely!
But call me crazy, I am certain that my cars run better on certain manufacturer of oils. In my almost 30 years of driving I've only used conventional oils. I have found that the wife's GM runs better on Quaker State Advanced Durability and my Chrysler prefers...
1. Wash and wax bike
2. Clean and lube chain
3. Fresh oil change
4. Fill tank and add 1/4 bottle of seafoam
5. Remove battery and put on a maintainer.
6. Put bike up on stands and put on the bike cover

I took the concours out for a ride at our local Kawasaki demo day and thoroughly enjoyed. Enjoyed it so much I rented one in NC on a recent bike trip. I'm very tempted to add it to the stable for when the wife wants to come for a ride.
The rental was a 2008 with 120k miles! It ran perfectly...

Try another dealership. I'll bet it's just that particular shop. I ran into the same problem with my wife's Pontiac G6. One dealership looked at me like I had 3 heads and told me I had to pay out of pocket. I promptly left and told them they will hear back regarding their practices. I drove ten...

Good question, made me run outside and check the filter again. Both tears look equally soaked. I think what you're...
So, let me begin by saying that I have been a long time lurker on this forum and have learned many great things from this site!
A little background.
I have been a Fram fan from way back; as was my father and pretty much everyone in my family. Never had an oil related problem and never once...
I love reading USPS/Canada Post bashing posts.
I have had way more good experiences then bad ones. They are a company and not perfect. I'm sure there are many out there that would never trust their packages with UPS, Fed Ex, DHL because of past issues.
I've taken the time to talk to my Letter...
I'd leave positive with the comments indicating they screwed up the order but corrected it satisfactorily.
Only time I'd leave Neutral or Negative feedback is when the made little or no effort to correct their mistake.
