Working on my bike
Hi! I had a problem with my 2003 sv 650s and took the bike to get it fixed. they are charging me $35 an hour. They said that the oil is leaking in the engine cylinder so they had to rip the engine to fix it. its been three days and today they called me and said that they got the bike running but the cylinder is shooting oil to the other cylinder. I am a rookie in this but why do I have a feeling that these guys are ripping me off.
Suggestions requied. Thanks |

both cylinders have a commom sump ie at the crankshaft, there is no connection in the cylinders from one to the other apart from the Throttle bodys at the top and no oil passes through those. ask them for a more detailed explanation be for you let them do anymore work on the bike.
