Not all dealers set up the bike same way either. I have no problems paying a set-up charge if the dealer goes though a list and torques the fasteners so I don't loose them on the first ride. When I worked for a dealer every bike I set up went through a typical race prep similar to what I would do to my own race bike. Everything was locktited, torqued and greased. Sure it took a little longer than some of the other mechanics but the guys that bought the bikes I set up weren't back the next week buying nuts and bolts that vibrated off.

For alot a dealers, the mechanics get paid a flat rate to assemble bikes. They might get paid 2 hours to assemble a bike. Well if they can assemble two bikes in that time there making double time. You see were I'm going with this.....The faster they work the more money they make....not caring if the job is done right or not.

Iceman's shop is a good example of a place I would have no problem paying a set-up charge. Everybody who works on the bikes is a racer as well. The stuff gets done right!!!
