On a last minute decision, I went for an oil change at TFOG. First called and chatted with Jim briefly, to make sure I wasn't showing up unannounced, and everything was kosher.
BAM- bike is in and out! Mike gives it a nice spritz and wipedown for me and in less than 30m, I off into the sunset, and Gemma is purring. The price was right, the Mtn. Dew was icy, and even a minor niggle discovered when I got home, was handled by a simple phonecall. Thanks for running your ship the A+ way.

I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move its in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

So you're saying that with this review they get a raise? Lol
Let's not get dressed for Sizzler just yet Damir! I'm just saying I like the way the shop does their thing. They probably saved me 90+ minutes of my own time and some oily, bloody knuckles.

Can't tell you the address off the top of my head, but basically you take 6th ave. West until you get to the Indiana exit (near Colorado Mills). Take that Indiana exit left (N) for one block until you see the 6th Ave. Service Road. Turn right on the 6.A.S.R and follow it west all the way until it wraps around and you intersect with 5th. Turn right on 5th and TFOG will be on your left after like 1/2 a block.

I know a fellow rider went there to get a rear tire . The help forgot to tighten chain.
Jim and TFOG are awesome. And his new guy Mike seems pretty cool.

Every time I went to TFog I was treated like family.
I hope that they contacted the shop to talk about their concerns.Originally Posted by mdub

I dunno if he said anything . Good enuf he had tools with him that we made the chain taut during a ride.
Word. Hopefully he didn't over do it; a loose chain is a happy chain.

If he truly made it "taut", it was correct before he adjusted it..."taut" is a great way to ruin a chain, both sprockets and bearings on each end.

You begin your riding career with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.
Taut as in 1.5"-2" of vertical play. Before we made the adj. the chain was loose enuff that it could've jump.
Definition of TAUT

a : having no give or slack : tightly drawn <a taut rope>
The few times I've not been able or willing to do something on the ZX-11 I've taken it to TFOG, no complaints here.
Plus they have wifi so I can work without having to drop off the bike if it's only going to be an hour or two.
