Couldn't agree with you more.

The jackassed tech that prepped my bike for delivery filled the tires to 47 lbs.

I checked the book and the sticker on the driveshaft, and adjusted downward.

When I called the dealership, I was told this story. "Oh, the tech is used to prepping tires for sport-bikes, and he just assumed since they were tubeless tires that they would take 47 lbs."

"Assumed" is the key word here...and they are the ones that receive "factory" training?
