I posted here about a month ago about a 2007 VTX 1300R with only 60 miles on it. I found it at a dealership and checked it over thoroughly. They said the tank needed coated and was done properly and they changed the oil and cleaned the carb. I looked at the oil and it was very black, I brought that to their attnetion. I went back about a week later and put a deposit on the bike and am going to pick it up next week. I just called and talked to the service manager today and thats when he told me that they used a motorcycle engine flush in it to clean up the sludge from sitting, probably because I complained about the oil color. They did say that they drained the flush and then put oil in and ran it for a short while and then changed it again. The head mechanic assured me that the flush was made for motorcycles and would do no harm. It is a reputable honda dealer in Pittsburgh and has been there for at least 30 years.
My question is has anyone ever had trouble after doing something like this? I wish they wouldn't have done this, but what is done is done.
I am going to pick it up next week and I plan on riding it home (50 miles) and drain the oil and change it again. I will have a 30 day warranty on it and plan on putting as many miles on it as I can during that 30 days.
