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 .

Originally posted by majormods View Posthe 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

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.99 katana 600 w/ yoshimura stage3, 6k bi-xenon HID, clear front/rear signals, clear tail w/ LED, House of Kolors Kameleon copper-2-green paint
