Is that excessive for a test ride when the tech is checking his work on headstock bearings? Not that I really care, just wondering if you guys would be upset
 
No. Perhaps he wanted to give it a thorough checking out on multiple road surfaces or conditions. 3 miles out and three miles back actually strikes me as a pretty quick check, especially on machines as capable as ours!
 
Ya, I'm not upset, problem is fixed Just wondering what people do consider excessive test mileage is all, up to this point I have always done my own work so just curious.

YOUR lucky he spent the time to test drive your bike some wouldnt even leave the shop
 
I think the Triumph tech at the dealer likes rockets lol. Every time I pick it up hes got a **** eatin grin on his face.
 
I am cool with that mileage. Like Phil said, testing it on different road types and at different speeds may necessitate riding a few miles to cover the bases. Now if the back rubber is missing, I will have a problem then...
 
I took the V-rod for a test ride when it first hit the stealers, came back a hour later i thought the guy was going the have a heart attack...

I always check my odo now since I brought my truck into a shop for service and got it back with 1/2 tank of gas missing!!! My mech usually only puts 2 miles on my bike, probably once around the block. i'm good.

ONCE around the block isnt enough to get the engine up to operating temperature
