Seriously considering either adding to or replacing my mature 1150GS. I spend a lot of time in the central Sierras and something a little newer and modern(ish) is the direction that I want to go, mostly for reliability sake-I do like the old GS and it has been good to me. I really prefer to do my own work, and on the GS everything is really well thought out and easy-valve adjustments/TB synch which gets the bike really dialed in is quick to do; the S-10 seems to be an unwanted adventure to the point that the likelihood of me screwing it up would be north of what I’m willing to accept at least at first. So, before I venture into a relatively unknown bike, I want to get an idea of what a valve adjust would cost in rough terms and if anyone around Sonoma county, Ca (I know you are out there, we see each other now and again on the road) of a mechanic that knows these bikes well. I am usually of the opinion that I am more careful with my bike than a mechanic would be, but the valve adjust might be one that I would look the other way on.
Thanks,
