I'm sure you already know this, but just for the information of any new owners reading these posts - the seat rocking is likely caused by damage done to the track when backing up the seat into the bulkhead, thus fixed by totally backing it into the bulkhead

Regarding other people working on things... I do all of the work on my motorcycles, from transmission rebuilds to mounting and balancing new tires. With only two wheels contacting the road, there's no room for error when a mechanic forgets to tighten a drain plug or properly torque your axle. I'll take that into my own hands, thank you.

For now I'll use that crossfire warranty to fix all problems until it runs out, then I'm gladly wrenching on my own.
