[QUOTE="HotRodZilla, post: 1104858, member: 13519"] What is "Full Service?" I'm assuming that is an oil and spark plug change. From the sound of it, that's something you could have done yourself and saved $240... Bleeding the hydraulics should NOT cost $159. Sheesh. A very small investment in SpeedBleeders, and you can do the entire bike yourself in less than an hour. Most of that time is removing the plastic piece under the seat to get to the rear brake reservoir. So, you could easily have saved $400. The rest of that? If you don't have the tools, experience, or space, taking it in is probably the best idea. The swingarm can be a time consuming job where a garage is needed. The front end is the same deal, and I still don't know much about pulling my cover do do a valve check, so I may just pay for my next one. I don't think I would begrudge the service guy for recommending the CamChainTensioner replacement. IF it's been makin that noise for that long and you haven't gotten to it, you're probably lucky.
