found a shop in my area to take my 68,000 mile 94 1000f and he says 300 for tune up,valve and carb work is there anything else i should have looked at or changed on this as it is it only likes to go fast really rough 40 mph and below any opinions greatly would help

 

Hopefully, the valve and carby tune will sort it out for you. Get him to (or do yourself) check the steering head and wheel bearings as well as the swing arm for play. A change of brake and clutch fluid, coolant ,oil and air filters are a good plan on a bike you've just got but I don't know if it's a new bike to you.

Check the static sag on the suspension and sort that (it transformed mine to ride) and you should be good to go.

These are great bikes with no real problems.

Enjoy

 

thanks i love this bike ill post pics soon

 

Def need pics!

 

About average cost for such shop work. Don't forget chain and sprockets !

 

As Sprock said, about average for a service, Best advice i can give, learn to do it yourself.
These bike are pretty easy to do basic work on, and the guys on this site can offer a world of information and help.

Enjoy your ride

We hear ya man and it's why we recommend you try to do most of the
work yourself ........ saves a ton of dough ! .........and tons of help in here
with practically anything you might have to repair or replace.

You can get by with the basics buying cheap from ebay etc. but it's real
easy too to start going nuts buying the world for it as well.

Only item I'd recommend you make sure are 100% are tires and brakes
some decent gear too..... after that everything can be put on the "to do" list.

 

I've got a similar question about price of shop work.

Recently got a '91 CBR 600F2 and got it to start but the carbs definitely needed work. A shop I've been to a few times for another bike said it'd be an hour to take them apart, clean, inspect, and let me know about gaskets. An experienced friend said it'd be totally worth $90 to have a good baseline, plus they might spot things I would miss.

Then I got the call from the tech. It had been 2.5 hours, i.e. $225. He could hear my surprise and said I could discuss with the boss, the guy who told me 1 hour before.

So before I go in with my hardest negotiating face on, is 2.5 hours reasonable? The jets got the ultrasonic clean, everything else was okay. No need for new gaskets. And these are certified, trained guys that work there.

Lesson learned: try it myself at least the first time! Thanks,
