Bike service not quite right

[Jantar]

Its a simple procedure to carry out a throttle body air bleed balance, yet they managed to stuff it up
sounds like a vacuum hose/take off point not put back properly.

+1. That is the first thing I'd look at. It sounds like a small air leak into one of the throttle bodies at low throttle positions. How does it feel when you you ride it at large throttle opens? (on a closed track of course).

Don't touch it. As soon as you do you own the problem. Take it back to the guy you spoke to, they are required to fix it.

Riding it through the rev range, well it feels fine, just sounds different...i took it up to 220km and it performed as it should.

If you are NOT happy ... take it back as you told the mechanic you would. No doubt he is expecting you.

Don't disappoint him.

220 km's ... try getting it up into 3rd gear ... (on my FJ .. I wait to 4th gear to get that though )

Take it back to the shop and get them to check that all vacuum hoses have been reattached correctly, and that there are no splits in any of the hoses.

An 11,000km service? Get these matters sorted when the bike goes in for its scheduled 12,000km service. The mechanics were obviously taken by surprise and couldn't find a manufacturer-approved list of things to do at 11,000km. You can't blame them for that.

Maybe they were distracted by the Swedish maiden?

ummm its 11k for this model of bike not 12k....so it went in for its scheduled service...and in the email i sent them to book it, i listed everything from they haynes manual for the 11k service word for word, so they knew what to do, in fact 6 months ago when i had a spare key programmed it was the main mechanic that told me i was due soon for my 11k service and they would look to do the balance it...so they knew.
