Last time I had the vales done they other dealer had my timing chain off 1 tooth and I had to fix.




You rotated one of the cams yourself? If you can do that, you are more than capable of at least checking the clearances yourself, if not changing shims. Quite often clearances will be within spec the second (24,000 mi) time around. All you need is a feeler gauge. Jack up the rear wheel so you can turn the motor and remove cam cover.




For the whole job all you need is a feeler gauge set, the pins for the cam gears, micrometer, and torque wrench graduated in Nm and adjustable down to about 8 Nm. The job really isn't technically hard to do. Shoot for the mid range of the clearances. Sounds to me like the gas and trailer rental you are going to spend to take the bike to a dealer will pay for the tools. On top of that you will save the service fees.
