I NEED A TRUE BIG DOG MECHANIC IN THE NORTH JERSEY NYC AREA! 06 K9 HAS THE FOLLOWING ISSUES. I REPLACED EHC WITH GEN II RIP KIT. I HAD AN HID KIT IN THE BUCKET. THE WIRE SNAPPED OFF THE RESISTOR. TOOK HER TO GET DYNO'D BY A BIG DOG DEALER IN SLOATSBURG NY BECAUSE SHE WAS RUNNING LEAN. HE ALSO REPLACED MY SPEEDO UNIT WITH A USED ONE AS WATER DAMAGED THE ORIGINAL. DYNO TEST SHOWED IMPROVMENTS ON PAPER BUT SHE STILL SPUTTERED PARTICULARLY AT 3100 RPMS. NO, I DID NOT GO BACK TO THEM AS I FOUND THEIR WORK UNACCEPTABLE. LOOSE PARTS I.E. THE SPEEDO HAD NO RETAINING SCREW AND FELT IMPROPERLY FITTED. SAME FOR THE HEADLIGHT RINGS... WELL I STARTED GETTING ELECTRICAL FEEDBACK SPARKING AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. MY STARTER WAS GIVING ME ISSUES, OPEN IT UP CLEANED THE INSIDES REPLACED THE BRUSHES, NO SOLENOID PLUNGER AND CONTACTS. NEW BATTERY CABLES. ADDED A SLAM BUTTON BECAUSE THE STARTER BUTTON AND HEADLIGHT BUTTONS NO LONGER WORKED. THAT WORKED FOR A WEEK. LAST TIME SHE STARTED THERE WAS A BRIGHT FLASH FROM THE STARTER AREA. SHE'S DEAD NOW OH AND DID I MENTION THE OIL LEAK FROM THE REAR HEAD WHICH SEEM TO HAVE A BAD COMPRESSION RELIEF VALVE?

What having done?
Its the one i bought in February. Trans rebuild (had the bad one in there) rebuild forks, whole new ignition system, wheel bearings, rotors, wolf headlight, dakota digital speedo, handlebar bushings, brakes, key switch, Dual Runner air breather and whatever else he thinks. Lot of pm work being done for a piece of mind. Can't wait to get it back. Has had it since March, but that's ok.

The Sloutsburg shop went out of business I think. That's where all those baggers were

He's had mine for 3 months. I keep adding things to be done to it which is my fault. I also told him i have another bike, so no hurry for me. Im sure he's busy as you know what. He will not let someone else work on your bike. He will do all of the work himself. You will be happy when its finished. Good luck and be safe.

Andrew the shop manager at Big Dog of Sloatsburg has his own shop now. He left about a year prior to closing of Big Dog Sloatsburg. He knows the Big Dogs up and down. His shop is Motorhead Motorcycles in Stony Point NY. He has always done right by me. Not far from North Jersey.
