I don't think your shop wants the job.

Thanks a lot for the reply.
The dealer quoted 900 labor charge for an 8k mile servicing which according to their manual is a 9 hr job. When I told I'll find a local mechanic they gave me an instant 20% off, now quoting 700. Or I can just get a basic oil change and general servicing done for 225 right now and get the valve checked may be at 10k.

My suggestion, in case you haven't already done so: Go to some vintage bike nights. Ask for The Honda Guy. There's usually a mature, semi-retired Honda mechanic hanging out, who has his own little home shop and still dabbles with bikes. Their rates are good, work impeccable. They're out there, just gotta find 'em I know the best one in central Florida, and he works on all my bikes regardless of make. He's a gem Good luck!

Thanks a lot MOTOGEEZER1949. will surely check with the local bike show. I was looking for someone like that who you can trust and have for lifelong.
