Took my 2012 Monster 1100 EVO back to the dealer for 7.5k service, told them all I wanted done is belt change and valve check and adjust if needed. Then turn the service indicator off. I asked about how much, he says between $400- 500. Cool, by the time I bought tools and collets, etc. plus the hassle factor I would be close to that.
Got a call. He says two valves were tight and had to be adjusted, more shop time and parts.
$813.32 is the final price. I spent much, much less than this getting the valves on my VTEC VFR checked, no adjustment required.
Next time I am buying the stuff and doing it myself. I have a friend who has done valve adjust on a 2v any times, and will get his help.
I have been researching prices for the 7,500 service, so this does not came as a great surprise, and I have seen more expensive prices for what I had done-but still, a lot of $.
Ducatis are fun great bikes but you pay for that engine and that sound.
