supercrash,

I had basically the same thing happen to my HyperSport at a dealer I used to trust. I brought the quad in to have the starter looked at (the piece of junk starter only worked flawlessly for four years and then quit). While I was loading it I saw burrs on the back portion of the ***** of my Holeshot XCTs. It sure wasn't there when I brought it in. So, I'm lead to believe that someone was doing either burn-outs or doing a heck of a lot of black top riding on it. Needless to say I was pi$$ed, I turned back around, went inside and proceeded to raise holy heck with the owner of the shop. The owner (who took over for her husband who died in a motorcycle accident) was apologetic, but said there was nothing she could do. I told her that there is something I could do, like not take my quad there any more and to stop buying stuff from them. I walked out and will now have my HyperSport serviced by my girlfriends brother Steve (a polairs trained mechannic) who did my second rebuild.

 

I didn't have to worry about the service guy riding mine at the dealership when I took it back for the new axle because he lost my key the first day it was there! I always do the work myself, but Kawasaki wouldn't let me install the new axle. I really abused the original one without any incident. It is hard to find a place you can trust, for cars and trucks too.
