A word to the wise! If you don't have the basic mechanical ability let one do it! Or get a bud to help!! Its child's play! but can have grave consequences if you strip, or snap a fastener, or leave an item loose,tight, or floating around in a valve train area!! Like the carb sync its simple if you understand it! But if not you can sure make things worse!!!

="amboman"]My brother in law has just the the valve clearance done on his B12, the dealer charged him $100. I thought that was pretty reasonable.

I'll bet they did one like the stealer here did!!!! Adj without taking the cover off!!! Just left my breather hose unplugged and crimped vent line from fuel tank!!!!

I had my last one done at Southland Suzuki in Orange County and they charged me 160.00. That was the valve adjust and carb sync.

My local dealer has told me about $ 300.00. Thats why he has yet to even touch my bandit.

That's what they are charging here. That's why I don't let those bad people touch my bike!
