[QUOTE="zenwhipper, post: 1061182, member: 13632"] Thanks for the comments. I kind of new that the dealer must be wrong. My appt to take the bike in is next Tuesday. So I called the dealer yesterday and said, the manual says to do the valves at 26,000 not at 16,000 as I was told on the phone when I made the appt. The gentleman said, um ok. So I said I don't want the valves done and I asked what the difference in price was between what he quoted me originally (4 hours @ $99/hour + parts) that included the valve check and the real 16,000 service (w/o the valve check) and he said let me go check the book. He gets back on the phone and says 3.5 hours. Ok, really... only a half hour diff if you don't include the valves? The 16K service primarily includes: [LIST=1][*]spark plug repacement [*]repack swing arm pivots bearings [*]repack steering bearings [*]change coolant [*]final gear oil change [/LIST] So, yes, this seems like it could be 3.5 hours. Maybe the valve check time, incrementally, was not much more since you're 'in there anyway'. My conversations with the dealer have been fine, but the fact they originally said the valves need to be looked at made me a bit puzzled. There could have been some miscommunication on the phone when I called in for the orignal appt. Maybe they thought I said 26,000 mile service instead of 16,000. Anyway, does 3.5 hours for a 16,000 mile service seem ok? Grazi [/QUOTE]
