+1. I can't remember exactly how long it took Spannerman when he did mine on the SV as part of a service, but I'm sure it wasn't over an hour.

3 hours is terrible, the wheel, calipers and mudguard can all be done in under 5 minutes out and another 5 minutes back in. And thats with time to spare. Admittedly thats after a lot of practice changing wheels due to British weather this year!

The job should be done in under an hour for a pro, 2 hours for someone doing it the first time.

DIY it if they don't need new seals, dead easy to do the springs and oil and a lot cheaper too.

Had some Hagon progressive springs and new oil for my 650 last year. Spannerman who pops up on the forum from time to time ordered and fitted them and it was around £75-£80 all in iirc. Not set up for my weight but did a great job and noticeably better.
