Adjusting the valves is super easy.If you have some old feeler gauges you dont mind trimming down you can pull it off without much trouble.Or,buy a set for a few bucks and trim them down.Its really not bad at all.Timing can be done if you have a standard automotive timing light,too.No special tools required.I'm not trying to act like there is something wrong with taking your bike in for work.Thats fine,its hard to beat a professional at his own game,just trying to encourage you if need be.Labor rates in my town are right at $65/hour.Unless the mechanic is really trying to move fast(why would he for that kind of money)you could probably end up with 3 hours pretty easy.Not that it would take that long,but it probably would...if you catch my drift.
