NEED TO KNOW HOW MUCH SHOULD IT COST TO GET A VALVE ADJUSTMENT ON MY 01 RC51. THE HONDA DEALER TOLD ME ABOUT FOUR HOURS OF LABOR AT ABOUT A PRICE OF$400.00:thumbd: :crying:
That's probably right. Not too bad considering it's only every 16 or 17000 miles...compare that to a Ducati at 6 -7500 miles...
The RC probably won't be needing any shims when you get her opened up...
If you're good with tools and have a Bible (Service Manual), you can walk yourself through it, as it's straightforward and you may do a better job than the mechanic it gets asigned to.
Just be sure to mark the teeth on the cams so they go back in in exactly the same spot. The RC is really pretty easy to get to everything once the plastic and tank is off...and you'll have the satisfaction knowing you did it yourself and the peace of mind that it was done correctly.
mine will probably go in this winter to have it done
