Has anyone else considered NOT getting the clutch recall work done ? (besides me)

I do all my own maintenance also but, in this case, the m/cyl was installed with the wrong size cup. Get it done. They replace the cup and bleed. One hour and you're out. Once home, remove the cap, check the level and reinstall the cap and all the chrome bits that you bought while waiting. Hurry before the spring rush. It gets busy in a hurry in April in your area.

I have a 2015 Limited that got added to the recall list late last year/early this year, that was not on the list for the earlier recalls.
I brought the bike out of storage (about 5 months of storage) yesterday and the clutch seemed to perform just fine. I'm debating whether to take it in for service if I'm not having problems.
I know there is some risk in doing nothing, but I hate taking any vehicle to a dealer for anything.
Is anyone else approaching it this way ?

Did you receive a letter to bring it in for service? If not then don't worry to much about it. If something does come of it, its their fault for not notifying you.
I did let them do the clutch recall just because I got a call that they would be over to pick the bike up. Far as the brake line and bag recall I checked the lines out myself with no problem and just did away with the lock system on the bags for a $4 fix that will never fail.

I thought it was just me being concerned . I had 09 roadglide I waited 4 years befor I took it in for a brake sender relay . The dealer replaced the sender . I rode it out the lot and back to the wrench with rear brake failure and some fluid leakage. They acked like WTF and was told there isn't a reason to loosen a line to replace a sender.

You guys must have real sucky service departments. Only reason I don't let them do anything other then warranty work is the price they charge, otherwise they are perfectly competent and professional. Took mine in to get the radio flashed two times and they didn't even charge me, (yes I was shocked as they once charged me $10 to install a gas cap(see my I'm an idiot thread) Guess I'm lucky.
