I wish I lived a little closer to you guys - I'd love to give you some more opportunities to earn back your tool investment. The real downside of relying on dealership mechanics is you are rolling the dice everytime you go. Having worked in a dealership (car, not MC) I'm acutely aware that there is often a skewed bell curve of capability. Our service techs ranged from brilliant to "I learned most of what I know about cars washing them prior to delivery." I suspect that something like valve adjustments benefits from both skill and experience and I doubt that the GZ is one of the top sellers in the KAWA/HONDA/SUZI/YAMAHA dealer world.
