Is my sound bike now scrap?

Message left on feedback form (thanks Figaro for the link):

"Hello Suzuki UK. I recently took my SV650 to my local Suzuki dealer for a (valve clearance check) service and it was returned to me with a problem which it seems is going to cost a lot to rectify. I am uncertain as to whether i should be paying for the repairs and if i can trust them to the same dealer. More information here http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=216846"

Going to give them a call or 2 too as from the look of these throttle bodies (arrived today) it's going to cost quite a lot in labour to fit them wherever i go for that.

Huge thanks for all the replies and advice

If you hear nothing within a couple of days get on the phone to them.

it takes 1/2-3/4hr to take TB out and put new ones in. add another 1/2hr to balance them. well i can do it in that time so them saying its going to cost a lot to do the job is bull poo.

Remove side panels, remove seat, tilt up fuel tank, remove air box, disconnect fuel line and throttle cables, disconnect TPS connector, loosen clamps and remove throttle bodies.
Install throttle bodies and re-connect/ re-install everything else. In 45 minutes?
You're good!

yup never mind all the other bloody connectors on the airbox on the K7>. once you have done it a few times it makes it easier.

Or just get rid it using some HRC/Tygon tubing instead

Throw it in a van, bring it up here, I'll sort it for you and if they've cocked it up we'll do an entertaining and highly abusive youtube video naming and shaming them...

Any update?

Update.. New (used) throttle bodies bought from ebay for £50, dropped back off with them late on Monday and collected after work on Tuesday. Liberated of another £100 for work performed: "Removed old throttle bodies and replaced with S/H throttle bodies,cleaned, set up and synchronised. Also found corroded connectors so cleaned all connectors."

After a lot of cheeky 'you'll probably find it runs better than it ever has' type remarks i left with the bike and am now proceeding dealings with S.UK for reimbursement...
