How much should it cost?

I have a 2002 kawi Zx6r i don't have the time to do any repairs on my own so i want to take my bike into a shop. I need to change my oil, clean the carbs, do a valve job, clean the chain and pull the tire back. Also if you know of any good shops I am open to ideas.How much should it cost?If you can't change your oil, and adjust your chain on your own, you shouldn't be riding. That's part of the maintainence required before you ride every day (making sure the chain doesn't need adjusted, and taking care of it if it does) and chaging the oil is just bacis stuff every owner should take care of on their own. Cleaning the carbs can be doen by the owner, but you could probably farm that out to a good shop the first time until you know how to do it. Why pay for it a second time though. It's not like driving a car, you actually have to do stuff to make sure your ride is still good to go before you head out on it.How much should it cost?Unfortunately maintenance and repairs are very expensive. Especially when compared to working on cars. The first poster said $300. That is a good price but you might have to pay around $500 for all the work.How much should it cost?Why not ask a qualified tech where ever it is you live. I would recommend the shop I go to but, you are probably more than a days drive. I hope. It will cost you whatever the price they tell you.How much should it cost?A few hundred dollars.How much should it cost?Make sure it's a bike shop, cake shops ain't that gud 4 bikes!
