OK..it's that time...Just made appointment with my local and only "certified" KTM dealer in Maui. I'm just having them check valve clearance, change stock air filter and sparkplug. They said it's going to be at least 4 hours @ 90$ p/h...Is this true? to check valves min 4 hrs? Since I have zero ability to do this myself, I gotta use these guys. Ive already changed oil,screens, coolent, with proper bleeding...aswell with brake and clutch fluid..what else should I ask them to check...and yes...im a bit tight on the money these days so anything I can do Ive done...The bike has been a blast and have had no problems at all, except running a bit on the warm side. Hasent overheated, but weather here is pretty warm these days. Im ordering the e-bay temp gauge thing for 57 bucks. looks like an easy install, and it will be nice for the fan to come on a bit sooner. Any suggestions would be appreciated....Mahalo..
Hi mauirider just had my 9k service done , i paid just under £400 , to be fair it took them most of the day all the shims were out so needed changing the clutch plates checked for wear all the brake pads removed and cleaned including callipers , oil filter air filter and new plugs , my 07 sdr feels like its gained 10bhp as well , im sure theirs more they did as well.
The manual has a full service checklist in it - you might check that. It includes a lot of little things like bleeding the forks, checking the oil jet screw and replacing a fuel line O ring and an exhaust gasket. (All things I sometimes wonder if my dealer actually does).
