Well, it didn't go so good in my case.
After I got through the service desk a**hole (excuse my language), mechanic decided my tires are making the noise!!! I waited for 1.5h just to have the same prick come out and lecture me on the size of the tires and telling me they might void my warranty because the tires and wheels are not stock
I protested the treatment and demanded mechanic take a ride with me.
He drove. First he was trying to tell me that all he hears is my tires and howling rack - I took off the fairing for a while.
And then the noise kicked in. He looked at the gauges, looked at me, then at the gauges again. Then he played with it for a while, very unhappy knowing I was right and he looks pretty bad right now. Finally he sold me a story that this is all wheel drive car, and is designed for the stock tires ONLY! and I should not put any oversized tires on it, ‘cuz I am tampering with drive train. If it was a Trooper, where you have a switch and can go back and forth all wheel-2WD, then you can put oversized tires on. TOD will not work properly with heavy tires, and that's why my problems occured
I was silent for a good while...
Then of course there was the whole thing about springs - why are they so big. So I played stupid this time. I told him my stock springs were sagging, so I put those on, thinking they would be better, but I did not do any further modification to my suspension. Besides springs are not covered under warranty, so I didn't think Isuzu would mind...
They bought it.
I took my baby home, exhausted and unhappy. It's still grinding somewhere, all the remedy I got was "put your stock wheels back on and see if that helps"
Next time I think I am going to shave my head, grow a beard and get a few tattoos. Maybe then service department can admit openly to me, they have no idea what they are doing
