I had my engine f-up and now it needs repairs this is what the shop told me..
3 intake valves- $115.90
2 exhaust valves - $173.55
Rocker arm - $26
Cam chain - $79 ( i found it on ripper racing for $23.50) whats up with that?
top gasket - $108
6 flywheel screws - $5.99
Rebuild top end labor and put the bike back together - $360

$927.11 total.....

PLUS a week prior to this i had to buy a...
One way bearing and gear L&a designs - $250
Redline heavy duty clutch kit - $110
Oil tank - $130
then another 2 hours labor for install on the one way which lead to the discovery of the rest of the broken bike - $120

$610 total......


<u>Grand Total of...</u> $1537.11

and before this i dropped around $2,000 into the 686 kit
then i have bought paddle tires and all that

i bought the bike for $5,000 im into it about $11,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


ONE way or another i have got to get this fixed and once i do theres no sense in selling it because im in way over my head.. ... with having to do all this work any suggestions for aftermarket valves/? bigger?? rocker arms?? make the head flow better??

AND HOW CAN I PREVENT MISHAPS LIKE THIS IN THE FUTURE?? I change the oil every time we go out and filter i run 100 + octane i dont know what im doing wrong plus i dont ride it much because its always broken

<u>Help would be greatly appreciated i have to make a decision soon!</u>

 

Ahh..... yeah. You can get a set of SS valves for less then they want for just the exhaust valves.

 

They seem to be using all OEM parts at full price and then some. Tell them youll collect all the parts and bring them to them. Thats what I usually do. Heck, my mechanic usually just calls me and tells me what I need and asks if I want to order it or if I want him to get it. The labor seems a bit pricey too though, its going to take them 6 hours to put it all together? they must not be very very very slow,

 

what the he!! did u do to that engine.?

does seem a little pricey though. id get the parts myself and have them put them in if u cant. id do all i could myself to save money.

 

u should have the people taht did the 686 kit pay for it... it was there terrible engine work that caused this

Thanks guys thats what i was thinking.. i thought something was fishy when they said 80 for the chain.. i thought to myself umm there isnt aftermarket ones and the one i saw was 23 bucks! but yeah no i can go in with confidence and bitch them out.. it hsould only be like 3 hours labor

 

Thanks wshrdskin

i just added up the totals with the prices you gave me and it only totals

$190.31

they said

$510.53

A difference of

$320.22

WOW that makes me feel so much better im so pissed at that shop right now i guess its hard to find an honest dealer anymore!! im gonna flat out go in there and tell them whats up and tell them that i am not gonna pay that much and tell them that they just lost all my business and any business i would refer to them.. anyone know a good 4 stroke mechanic in utah? Heck i might do it myself.... HOw long should a job like this take a shop?? the main cost for shop work is 60 bucks an hour im wondering HOW LONG SHOULD THIS TAKE&gt;. 6 hours... i belive the 2 hours they told me to do the one way and the clutch but 6 hours for the top end is ridiculous to me.. how hard is the labor on a job like this.. i have every tool i could ever need and the owners manual and im pretty hand with a wrench... what do you think?

 

What shop in utah did you take it to?

 

do all the work yourself pinhead, take the head and have the valve job done but do all the rest yourself it is easy work for some one who has half a brain or any mechanical ability!
