If your asking cost, I can check mine and adjust in less than 1/2 hour.
Depends on what the shop rate is in your area.

thanks guys i just dont want to completely screw it up and then have to take it somewhere with out know whats wrong i think thats when they stick it too you. its funny you say to read the docs and threads i did and the main issue every one of them had was they were told to do the 1/6 1/8 turn of the screw and not use the feeler gauge im one to read the directions on mac and cheese guys
I must be slow in my old age.By the time I take the tank off,wrap a rag(s) around everything so dirt doesn't fall in,remove the rad and ck/set with a feeler gauge,refill and bleed and so on I'm sure I'm well over an hour.I tried the 1/4,1/8 turn or whatever but it wasn't accurate.As for Kelsow's overall Studliness;I couldn't say :lol:

i don't remove the rad , just trim a peice of cardboard to suit the shape of the rad and you won't damage the cooling fins .
I do a full turn. that way I don't have to adjust often. When the bike starts easier I know the decomp is kicking in and toleance is getting tight.
Now thats lazy. :lol:

Figured I'd win. I have no e-start so this doubles as leg presses as I am too lazy to work out. 
We should start a thread to find out who is the laziest on this site, would be fun reading.

And Ford, it's not the 1/8 turn method that's not accurate... it's the man behind the tools... :lol:

It takes me a couple of days to do mine.
Remove seat & tank - 5 minutes.
Remove valve covers - 5 minutes.
Thirsty work . Must stop for a couple cans - 45 minutes. :drinking:
Loosen locknuts - 5 minutes.
Nip down to remove slack - 5 minutes.
Extra careful lining up screw slots with locknuts - 5 minutes.
All this thinking requires a break. Must stop for a few more cans - 45 minutes. :drinking:
Can't work it out but always have trouble focusing at this point.
Better to be safe than sorry - relax with a few more beers and resume next morning. :drinking:
Next day after lunch - Slacken off 1/8 turn and lock down - 5 minutes.
Replace valve covers - 5 minutes.
Replace tank and seat - 5 minutes.
That was thirsty work - glad I don't do that too often - better celebrate.
I just can't understand how you guys can do it so quick ! :?
