This may sound silly, but maybe you could answer this for me. I took my brand new Yamaha R7 into a shop to have the suspension dialed in, and I noticed after leaving that the two orange looking preload caps/bolt things (sorry, I think that is what they are called) were sort of scratched and dinged up. I know a tool and some form of pressure must be used to adjust them, but is there a way to perform such a task without damaging the finish of the orange looking preload cap/bolts? I know it sounds silly, and the scratches/dings are really not that noticeable, but I was not expecting the finish of the orange preload caps/bolts to be altered in that sense. I can understand if there is really no way around it, and that is just a part of the mechanical process, but I was curious what your opinion is. Thank you for your time and any potential feedback.
I guess some workshop guys are rougher than others. There are softer tools you can buy that don’t cause as much damage. Shame this has happened to your bike though.
@@MotoNZ It is frustrating, you are correct. I called the dealership and let them know. I may of not had my suspension adjusted at all or waited if I had known this could potentially happen.
Ci sono delle chiavi esagonali in plastica apposite per la regolazione del precarico molla. Nel tuo caso chiave esagonale in plastica da 14 mm. Ti capisco perfettamente il fastidio che provi. Avrebbero dovuto mettere del nastro adesivo in carta prima di inforcare la chiave o la bussola da 14 mm...non si sarebbe rovinata l'anodizzazione dell'alluminio.
Sometimes you gotta choose your battles. My mechanic and his helper have scratched my rim, put my fairings on wrong, left hoses out of place, and put fork tubes back with the wording all crooked. Until I find someone better and will fix for me on the fly, I'll tip $50-$100 everytime.
Pro tip, stop pretending like you know everything he’s talking about. If you did you wouldn’t be taking the bike to him to set up! You’ll learn more this way and they’ll respect you more because you won’t be full of shit!
Very helpful, and interesting to hear about the tirepressure, I have been riding with 41 36 all the time.

I think he was just trying to acknowledge what he was saying. It’s hard to say anything else when you don’t know what you’re talking about
Hiiiiiiiii zeeeeech
