[QUOTE="Matt90GT, post: 1323508, member: 30871"] Unless they did a leak down test on the bike, I would start questioning their work very seriously. also if a valve is "really" tight, it will be almost impossible to start the bike and it will not want to idle. Ask them the measurements they took on the valves and what the specs are. Bet you they dont know either answer there! If the valves are bent how do they know there is not top end damage? Did they remove the head and inspect the cylinder, piston, valve seats and guides? Did they check the valves on a flat surface to see if they are bent???? Just cause the valves need adjustment does not mean they are bent. Who knows what service work has been done before on the bike. someone might have adjusted the valves 180* out causing the problem. Here is my advice, tell them to adjust your valves to spec, take the bike and never take it back to that shop. from the sound of things, it sounds like they are try to pad winter work at your expense [/QUOTE]
