In all fairness to Coy
Got to thinking about Coy. He is a decent guy and from what I have heard over the years, Coy knows trumpets and is an excellent mechanic. Coy sorted out a non-correctable problem that Con's couldn't after two attempts. I did get to talk to Coy at length about that. Regarding the valve adjustment job, I believe he didn't work on mine even though the service manager said he did. However, that does not excuse him for not verifying the work before the cam cover went back on. A percursory glance by Coy would have shown him the un-tensioned Intake backlash gear.
The stealership calls the shots for the mechanics. They don't pay the mechanics enough. The mechanic(s) they do compensate justly are stretched so thin that they can't possibly work on all the motorsickles. These good mechanics have to dole out the work to inexperienced underlings who are in the position more for a job than the love.
Supporting local dealers is a dynamic thing. However, too many local dealers lack the skilled mechanics/properly compensated mechanics to make the means of our supporting them happen, i.e., motorsickle repair and service.
