If I'm bring in my bike to a shop for spring tune up, what should I expect the shop to do/change ? Will they sync the carb for me or will I have to ask for that ?

ummm....spring tune up ? I have never had that done, just 5k, 10k, and 20k tune ups....so I gather a spring tune up will be similar to a 5k tuneup.....


* oil and filter change
* air filter cleaned
* spark plugs changed
* valves adjusted
* carbs. sync.
* all torque nuts checked
* brake fluid changed
* overall once over of the bike.......


did I miss anything ? I am going my spring "tuneup" at home, going to skip the carb and valve till 15k.....

Thanks everyone
My bike for some reason, either in summer or winter, it need couple at least 2 to 3 start in order to get the engine running. And the engine just hestitate when under low RPM running. I thought they may look into this at the same time. Could it be the carb need sync ?

carbon build up ? what quality fuel are you using and are you just dwidling the bike at 5-6 k rpm ? these bikes are made to scream man, you need to take them to red line in all the gears....do it and I am sure you bike will be starting fine.....I pretty much do that atleast once a week.....
