    Headlight burned out?

    I would check the connection points on the light socket if the clips are not tight to the pins this will decrease the life of the bulb quite a bit. I changed the bulb in my bike after it burned out about 11000 miles ago and still going strong and 200 hours on a light bulb is crazy.

    Temperature

    It seems to me that the 12000 mile service which will cost $1200.00 dollars is a payment for the 3 year warranty that we have and we are just paying for the parts ahead of time. So every 12000 mile at $1200.00 comes out to $3600.00 over 3 years or $100.00 a month, I wish all my customers gave me...
