once you do the valves yourself you wont ever want the shop to set them again. its just really easy. get a set of tools take your time do it right and you still would have saved 200$ and weeks of time.

I agree doing it yourself is the best route. I have never done allot of work on bikes but I have allot of experience with cars, I recently did almost the same services on my 04' kat and my 01' r6. I saved myself allot of money since all it cost me was some of my time (if you find someone to borrow a sync tool from or make one yourself). I will admit I was a little worried about screwing something up but turns out it really was quite simple. I say next time break out the service manual and go at it.- 04' Kat 600 (my reliable bike)
- 01' R6 (my fun bike)
- 00' Cavalier (my POS daily driver)

I'm all for doing your own work. Not only do you have the cost benefit savings and time on the road but you also have an intimate working knowledge of your bike which definately makes for a better feeling ride. It may only be a mental thing but it's a mental thing you didn't pay $500 for. Just my $.02

And if you break down on the side of the road, you'll know how to fix/rig it to not have to call for a tow.02 Katana 600 (weekend toy) 11.892 @ 111.92 MPH

I would have quoted near every post in here but i don't got the time.
I figure I can buy the parts and the tools i need to do the job and always do it for AT LEAST 50% of what any "stealership" (lolololololol) or local guy would charge. Unless its your bro, and all my bro's dont know bout moto.
I'll add that all the dealerships around here charge $95.99/hr but the guy I take my stuff to is $65/hr and thats like considered REALLY cheap around here. Vancouver Island, British Columbia CanadaFor sale thread Album
