Last week I rode my bike to the dealer for the 16,000 mile service. I drove 100 miles to Tallahassee Florida. There is a dealer here in Albany, Georgia but they didn't have the bike I wanted so I had to go to Tallahassee. The only reason I go back to Tallahassee is I financed on the Gold Card and my services are included for 36 months. The price Tallahasee charges for the 16,000 mile service is $1,100.00. I picked up my bike yesterday and drove to my office and parked it. When I left work yesterday afternoon and stopped at the first traffic light I heard the worse clicking noise from the rear end I have ever heard. I pulled in at an independent cycle repair shop that was on the way home. Two guys I ride with were there and the mechanic said he would look at the bike and not charge. We checked the rear end oil and it was full of fresh oil. When you sit on the bike and roll it forward or backward you can hear the click. It isn't a click that you get each time the wheel makes a full revolution but one click after another and it is loud. So I am going to trailer the bike back to Tallahassee. Here is my question. I have a trailer but have never trailered my venture. The instruction sheet with the pingel wheel chock I purchased says not to tie a touring bike down with the front forks but to put a tie down strap around the triple tree. I can't see where you can put a tie down around the triple tree with the fairing. Any suggestions. I have an 05 RSV. Thanks.
