I'm still finding things that should have been corrected before delivery. This weekend I discovered that one fork had 20mm more oil in it than the other. I don't think that's a dealer issue, rather a factory issue. I did find several things the dealer should have caught before delivery though:

Loose chain (and dry)
Missing EVAP system hoses and rollover valve
Exhaust leaks
No play in the throttle cable
Way too much air in the tires (45 psi or so)
Throttle cable knocked mostly out of bracket on carb

Needless to say, the dealer doesn't get to do any of my maintenance work.

Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing. But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
