[QUOTE="Kneedragger55, post: 1417317, member: 89183"] Qualified and non-idiotic help is definitely hard to find. My dad ran a body shop for over 30 years. Old car restorations, fender benders, whatever. The only help he ever had was 1 guy he fired, myself, and my older and slower uncle (who worked for the free breakfast / lunch / have something to do). I always told my dad, I can do anything if you show me how. "I might as well do it my damn self if I have to show you everything". Hence he ran a 1 man shop and I was forced to help. Curious as to what a "full service" entails and if the valve check is the most in-depth aspect? Granted it'd be much easier to drop it off and pick it up. In 3 - 6 weeks time, I imagine you could do pretty much all those things (whatever they are). And at least CHECK the valves. They prob don't need adjusting then its a win / win. I just sold a Speed Triple that I checked that valves on. All were good. I gave the guy my maintenance sheet that showed oil change, air filter, and valve check at X mileage. It also had all the valve measurements. He looked at it like Egyptian Algebra. I said, good luck getting the dealer to show you what your valve measurements were, here you are right here. [/QUOTE]
