Is my local shop trying to rip me off?
I dropped my '02 DS650 off at the shop, because I was having some problems with the starter. Well, I got a call today, they said the starter clutch was bad? Ok, well they told me it needs a new gasket, starter gear, and spring. Then they dropped the bomb, 600 bucks! No way, I just bought the bike from them less than a month and a half ago. My question is, is this a fair price for these parts/labor? Are they trying to screw me? Thanks -JW

that's a lot of$ changing the sprag clutch out- it's maybe an hour of labor and they just don't go out that easily- what were the symptoms you were experiencing? what CDI are you running?
has the dealer actually taken the stator cover off the bike? I refuse to use local dealers myself - I can't trust em as far as I can spit, if you are somewhat mechanically inclined we can help you out.
I'm not saying that they are screwing you , they are in business to make money but if funds are tight you can likely pick up the part from some ones garage and do the work yourself.
