    Valve adjustment cost?

    Any idea the cost of having the valves adjusted on a gsxr? 19k on motor so i think i better get it done this winter. Dealer or local shop?

    Corey, he said local. He's in Granby, CT. Not too local. Edit: They do do (I said dodo) good work though. If you want to make the ride, check them out.

    Not sure of small shops. How is Enfield Motorsport's service department?

    will do. i guess its a more 'will he do them reasonable?' hah. i may try doing them myself but the local yama dealer wanted $1300 to do them.

    It wont come close to 1300 I can't imagine but give him a call. If you haven't done then.in the past its a big project that can be very risky.

    i hear ya. i've done valves before (but screw type, not bucket/shim) and i've gotten the vmax down to where all i'd have to do is remove the covers, but just checking all options.

    wow cory... wheelin and dealin'... just kidding..

    yeah guys, i can take care of your needs.. as far as the pick up in Granby CT.. not a problem. im sure we can work this out and get your bike all settled.. ballpark should be around $500 or so. but i'll keep you posted and i always make sure there aren't any surprises when you pick up the bike.

    as for the V-Max.. i can take care of that one too and considering my labor rate is probably $30 less than a dealer im sure it wont cost $1300..

    our work is guaranteed. we also offer indoor heated storage for your bike after the repairs are done too.. give me a call or PM me and we can work out the details. 774-200-6395

    What were your symptoms of needing a valve adjustment?

    Re: Valve adjustment cost?

    Frankly did not have symptoms at all

    In winter just did PM and they were all out near zero. They pound their way into the valve seats etc. I was amused because I think the recommended interval was 26000.

    Got the impression that the Japanese think we never see the powerband onto our way to the 65 MPH speed limit
