Re: Valve clearances (how long)
If anyone valeted my bike I'd kick them in the teeth!

But for that mileage I'd expect it to need a full service of calipers front and rear and chassis bearings too. Also how does how far out the throttle bodies are affect the price? I've not noticed much more than 30 seconds more work on adjusting the balance between some that are a yard out or an inch ;) *N.B that is not me saying your list for the same price is not much more comprehensive |

Define rip off?. When we charge £60 inc Vat per hour with those overheads or an independant charges £40 per hour and works out of his back garden shed.:smt104 Our costs have to be justifed and i constantly check them each and every month. If I didnt then we wouldnt trade, simple. A business needs to earn money to survive and pay its staff. I not sure why the motorcycle trade gets tarnished with such nievity all the time, sure some places you could possibly justify that they rip you off but not all off them. I earn £20k a year doing this and Steve little more. I could be earning £30k pen pushing in the city charging some fat businessman four times an hour more than what I do now. Im sure also there are plenty that judge us that do just the same. |

What mileage should the first check be? I'm on 14500 and I've never done the clearances.
