Bike
KTM 990 Adventure
A group of us did the quads 4 quads up run.

RAD had a service tent, so when one guy on a 990 had a flat front wheel he took the bike to them to fix.

Cost R800
Tube R 350
Slime R 100 (why????????)
Labour R 350  :eek:

The next morning all the slime set in the bottom of the tube so the guy took it to another shop who took it off and fixed it for R120

My 990 fuel filter gave problems, but they were not interested to make a plan. Just said they did not have the special tools, so i fixed it with the tools i had in my back pack.

If a company send a support vehicle / service, are they suppose to rip off a customer?

I think they lost a lot more than what they gained.

They will never see me again!
