While it was in their care it fell off a service lift from about 3 feet, landed on its right side, petrol tank got damaged, along with the front wheel on the way down plus broken rear break pedal, etc. etc.. The written estimate for the damage came to $7,268.88. I looked at trading the bike instead of repairing it, but the trade number worked out to roughly $3,000 after the dealer’s service and inspection deductions, so I declined, BTW the trade for that bike and blue book is between $5K and $6K.
