Double check their work. I discovered on mine that the old harness got left in place and they just zip tied the new one over the old one!...
I've seen this on the SV and the interceptor before. Thread locker red, maybe? One of the center stand bolts (swing arm side) is left hand...
If your garage has rafters, you can just hang the bike from those using ratchet straps. I do that if I need to pull both wheels on the SV650. On...
