    Valve job

    What's the cheapest place to get a valve job in my F4i? So far it's been in the $300 range. It's a shim adjustment/replacement valve system.

    Taken from http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/forum...pic.php?t=3647 Take 10% off the prices listed below for the club discount.

    Yes, shops have different "levels" of a tune-up. Here we offer a minor, standard and major. On a inline 4 pricing is $143.00, $227.50 and $286 plus parts(plugs, oil, oil filter and air filter if needed or service if K&N or BMC)

    The minor consists of
    oil/filter change
    set tire pressure
    lube and adjust all cables
    check and tighten if necessary nuts and bolts
    adj. drive chain and lube
    top off fluids
    check brake pads
    check lights
    check for leaks
    syncronize carbs. or throttle bodies
    check compression

    Standard tune includes
    all of the above
    adjust valves

    Major tune includes
    all of the above
    change fork oil
    change brake fluid
    change coolant

    I may have forgot to list a item or two but you get the general idea.

    twins pricing 97.50, 162.50 and 221.00
    single cyl. 65, 110.50, and 156.00

    cool thanks! but.....all I need is valve adjustment, labor and new valve cover gasket........ Alot of these shops throw in alot of extras I don't need. GENERALLY i take good care of my bike, except for that month long stint with nasty drive train, but I'm up to date on everything but the valves and suspension rebuild.

    Valve adj alone is $130. The valve cover gasket is rubber and reusable.

    Guy, I am THERE sometime around February 1st... Or is it better to wait till say early summer, later spring when the temperature goes up and the metals in the engine expand and stretch naturally???? Oh yeah, the valve cover gasket thing I was thinking about is because I have a seeping leak from what appears to be the valve cover. I'm about 3,000 miles overdue, the HIGH prices I've been quoted till I got ur killer deal, made me wait off and wait off. I'll take a peeps under my tank and check to see if it REALLY is the valve cover leaking, before I wheel it in. It's a half tank of gas there and back, but worth it at that price.
