You did not state mileage and year of the bike!!
Never had a dealer touch either of my LT's but there are a lot of riders here reporting issues
when leaving the dealer . . . I'm just saying!
Whenever I did major repairs on my LTs their inability to perform properly was all "my" fault
and with the help of members here, patience and realization of my senior moments 100% of
the time I was able to return the beast back to running condition at a reasonable cost within
a reasonable period of time - and I now had first hand knowledge under my belt of how to
maintain the bike.
A majority of the time when the motor is not running correctly the problem is:
- anything to do with either the fuel or air supply supply system - filters, connectors,
connections, injectors, the fuel itself, cables, tank venting, the fuel canister, pinched lines,
electrical connections associated with the fuel system, crankcase breather lines that are old
and cracked and the list goes on.
- on occasion electrical issues pop up as mentioned before electrical connections, grounding
issues and sometimes the farkles that are added on by previous owners. Before the dealer
left my town 6 years ago he had a bike in the shop that caught fire after hours just sitting in
the shop while they were servicing it. So wiring routing and non factory connections can also
be an issue due to age . . .I'm just saying!
There are many new members joining the site these days with many of them purchasing
bikes that are up to 10 years old. So any rubber components need preventative
maintenance and inspection, electrical connections should be taken
apart and cleaned and have dielectric grease applied, bearings need to be inspected, brake
lines and cables need to be inspected. and even after you do all that
these support systems can still go south on you when you least want it to!! And some items
just need to be replaced even before they get old . . .I'm just saying.
Good luck in trying to find the root cause of your issue . . .
