I do it all myself...I simply won't pay garage prices...they are high here too...if you can't do it get a book, it's easy! :-)

I balanced my carbs last year...the gauges paid for themselves the first time I used them plus I took a lot of care to do it...more than the dealers would do here...

I learned that lesson real quick when I first bought hte bike. I had no experience working on it and I figured it more than likely needed an oil change. I paid like $50, but still, I felt like I got robbed. Have not been back since.
