Tampa, Fl United States | Found nothing, took it to the dealer & tech drove it & he says its fine
Hasn't done it again
I asked if they could check & re-grease/re-torque head bearings & they said its a 4-5 hr job due to having to take the forks out (approx $300) |

check all the other things you wish, I would check the head bearing first, unless you want to go through the pain and expence of having it replaced instead of slapping a little lube on it.
If I took it to dealer to do the above mention, how much shop time you think it should take?
I already asked for a quote I asked if they could check & re-grease head bearings & they said its a 4-5 hr job due to having to take the forks out (approx $300)
if thats the case I might as well have them change fork oil while they're at it (had it done 20k ago but don't like how it dives when front brakes are applied)
Any thoughts?

Chattanooga, TN | Happened to a friend of mine on an HD after a tire change. Apparently he wasn't notified of their tool giveaway promo. A small tool was found inside the front wheel where the bearings are. the mechanic said he never could get it to balance properly. No wonder. |

FRED Knowing rates and the amount of work, that's about right. If you're inclined and have the manual, you could do it yourself. |
