Default My bike runs again

Well I have been trying to figure out what has been wrong with my bike. One mechanic went as far as telling me that my engine was blown...Well after about 6 months of it not running I figured out that the spark plugs I put in last year were not even for my bike. The dealer sold me the wrong ones. So i got the right ones today and she runs better than ever.

Where was that mechanic you talked to, so no one else talks to him?

normally the first thing I would have though of was the plugs but I just wrote them off cause I just changed them. Since I was at wits end I decided to change them just to see and when I went to get them I was told $28 a piece. Well I paid 34 for all 4 last year so I called Mosites motorsports where I got them last year, he pulled up my records and was like so how does you bike run cause those were not for your bike.

Also it was the mechanic as mosites that told me that. Thats a whole different story. Short version I got ripped off two hours of labor for his "opinion from the way my bike sounded" I didnt know this until I talked to the manager and now I am talking to him about getting some money back.
