why do I need to comment If you've spent more then 30 seconds on here, you'd know about K&N.

why the new carbs? and i know oil prices are high but $65 wtf? do your own pads takes 5 minuts or less after you do your first one and stock pads are $25ish

Dude , I'd do all that stuff for you for less than HALF that . Not hard stuff . Dealer time is costly . So are dealer parts .
And guys , you don't even have to TOUCH the adjusters to remove the rear wheel . I do it all the time . I prefer to NOT bother them , as it's usually still aligned when I put the wheel back on and I don't have to mess with it again .

response:

he said he would if it needed it but based on riding, there was no valve float or any other signs of it needing work. heres the breakdown:

$300 - new carbs - why??
$125 - jet kit - sounds right
$250 - chain + sprocket installed - I got a SideWinder Ti-Moly 50 tooth and an RK XSO530 120 link chain and a Sprocket Specialist 15 tooth front and installed it myself for cheaper then that.
rear tire - $180 installed - wow
front tire - $150 installed - wow
rear pads - $50 installed - wow
front pads - $100 installed - wow
$65 repsol synthetic oil change - wow
$30 all new plug gaskets - what??
$1250 total + tax ($75) = $1325

did they at least buy you dinner first

local round here, dunlop rear/front tires are around $120-$150 each, minimum so the tire pricing is bout right. The rear pads are $35 +$ 15 install.... the front pads are the same price but since there is 2 calipers, he charges x 2. sythetic oi + filter + $15 labor is around $55-$65 so thats not far off. I have NO CLUE about chain/sprocket pricing but he said it was like $150 chain, $50 for the sprocket + $50 install. The carbs needed to be done. The bike was not warming up properly, misfiring constantly and a hurrendous backfire/popping noise.

I understand the carbs need to be cleaned, but why the hell did you say "new" carbs. And $150 for a Dunfolp is horrid. Check on prices for Continental Sport Attacks.
