I wouldn't expect much change from £400 if not more.

I'm dreadfully sorry but I will have to rewrite that with the use of the list, as without spaces separating the words it becomes somewhat difficult to read.

As for an answer to the question... No idea, I would do that type of work myself so parts only from my perspective.

I reckon you're looking at £350ish.

Service apx £180. Apx 3 hours labour for the rest (@ £40/hr) = £300 and a bit for battery and any small spares.

So vague, rectify flat spot. That could simply be fuelling, or a big can of worms.

I guess your man is assuming problem is carb setting.

Sorry Squirrle Hunter I just copied and pasted, my bad

Well the flat spot is that it revs low and then will suddenly pick up. He wants to take it on a Dyno

When you leather the throttle at high revs? Blocked mains or otherwise running lean.

Running an oldskool bike like that you'd best learn how to clean the buggers yourself

You shouldn't need to dyno a standard bike to diagnose a running issue.
