His is an '09 (I believe), and there are plenty of horror-stories where disgruntled workers would intentionally (so accused to be doing) screw-up bikes.

One of the most common accusations was they would hook-up the electrical-system up incorrectly - causing problems whereby a dealer would virtually have to dismantle the bike to get to wires and chase them... a time-consuming and costly process.

There were other issues reported also.

I have an '09 and haven't had the problems Dave has had...

Same has happened in Detroit.
