Have you got it back yet?

I hope they don't try to charge you for the loom or the labour to dismantle and reassemble your perfectly good stock loom? That e-mail from the dealer stinks - if, when they eventually opened up the loom, they found nothing wrong, what's their explanation for suspecting it in the first place? Don't they have a multimeter?
And, as KevMean suggested, the ignition would be one of th first things to check with poor running.

Quote:
the dealer repairing it has decided it is not the wiring after all they got the bike to start but there is a lot of mechanical noise from the timing side and the rear of the cam position sensor looks like it has got very hot and there are traces of metal shavings on it. they are going to take the timing cover off to inspect further[oil pump failure maybe?]


There is no oil behind the cam position sensor (or at least, there shouldn't be), so I cannot see how they might come to the conclusion that it might be an oil pump failure. If there are metal shavings behind the cam position sensor, it's possible that the screw holding the trigger rotor has come loose. You are being fleeced. If you have not already done so, rescue your bike from these incompetent blaggers as soon as possible.

Or from the rivets they had to drill out to remove the cover...

mine has not got any rivets as i have an aftermarket cover..when they were going to replace the wiring harness they gave me a price of £1000 for everything and i asked for an e mail confirming this.is an e mail a legal document as maybe i can hold them to this price for any work they do.

Likewise. When you get it back, Panther, I'd take it to someone who knows what they're doing for a second opinion. You never know - based on their previous performance, this may be more bullshit from Shaw HD. When you deliver your bike into the hands of a dealer like that, you are at their mercy as far as finding yet more expensive things that are wrong with your bike. You may get confirmation that a bush has spun in the case, or you may get lucky and find out it's something else that's relatively cheap and easy to fix, Either way, at least you'll know for certain what you're facing; and, if it turns out to be the latter, a visit to Shaws equipped with a baseball bat would be high on my list of things to do to brighten up a cold winter weekend.
