8000 miles, did your valves REALLY need adjusting?

The nearest Honda dealer quotes four hours for the check (without service) with another hour if adjustment is required. At AUD120 an hour. A major service, which includes a valve check, runs out at about AUD1100. Adjustment is extra. A major service on my Ford Territory is less than that. That's why I do the work myself.

Sounds about right. I saved about $500 doing that myself. I'm all for it, been doing those on all my bikes for ages. Learn a lot about the bike too. Good to be self-reliant, you know what you got.
