So my ‘21 NC750X should be arriving sometime in the hopefully not-too-distant future. One thing that’s giving me a bit of anxiety, though, is whether the dealership will actually prep the bike properly.
Last time I interacted with this dealership’s service department was a couple months ago when I had them install a new rear tire on my current bike (Rebel 500). They were quick and the price was fairly reasonable but, after riding the bike home, I realized the rear tire was overinflated + misaligned, and the adjustment mechanism on the swing arm was not properly installed. While they did end up fixing it, they obviously shouldn’t be making mistakes like that.
Naturally, I can’t help but wonder what surprises I’ll find on my new NC. So I’m curious how to best handle that when I eventually go pick up my bike.
Should I just spend some time looking over things like tire pressure, oil / coolant / brake fluid levels, chain tension + lubrication, wheel alignment, bolt tightness, accessory installation, etc. before riding the bike home from the dealership and having the dealer correct anything that’s amiss? Any other items you’d add to that list?
How have other folks handled this?
