[QUOTE="tonybolton, post: 708952, member: 3432"] Still being new in the road bike scene....I'm slowly discovering there is some serious rape-age that goes on in the service dept. The tire thing I was aware of....I'd asked when I first got the bike. Where I REALLY discovered the bending-overage was on my bike, the Honda service guide recommends a valve adjustment/inspection at 650 miles. At first I was like....this is a modern Honda, you don't hafta do that!? I had a 94 and 96 Integra and it requested valve inspection/adjustment every 30K miles, then in 99 I believe they all went to 100K adjustment/inspections. So anyway, I call the dealer and tell them I have 600 miles now and would like to have the valve thing done....I didn't wanna **** with it or research it. Without hesitation I was told it would be $650. I asked what all that included and it was JUST the adjustment. I rednecked up and said, "FOR 2 CYLINDERS?!?!!?" He stated you had to remove the gas tank and put the engine at a certain rotation. I said, "Soooooooo.....1 bolt to remove the tank....and a socket/ratchet on a crank bolt?". A few other wise cracks were made and I basically Googled/YouTubed it and did it myself in about 1hr. Could probably do it again in about 30 minutes because I was just bouncing back and forth on my phone triple checking everything. And also....I really didn't NEED to adjust anything. Everything was tight/spec'd. I mean, I snugged up one like a millimeter of a turn or something stupid. [/QUOTE]
