There was no valve check.
In an earlier post I said ...
His words - "If the valve covers are not leaking, and the valves sound good, don't mess with them...." . By letting the dealer make this decision I am assured of keeping my warranty intact.
The engine sounds good, runs great and has no issues.
They did however change the final drive oil, which was not required, but I liked the idea of this since there is always the potential of metal due to the newness, seating, etc.
I agree the 15 bucks is high for a filter, but that was just for their infernal ,,,,,,, sorry
internal accounting since the gross price was pre-negotiated.
It's like a dealer fee (we have them in Florida), they can put whatever they want on whatever line they want, I only care about the bottom line!
BTW - thanks for the oil filter number, I actually heard about it on youtube, a video EVERYONE who changes their own oil should watch! -

But there is no mention of a valve check/adjustment on the invoice. Price is reasonable for the what they did. Most of it is just "look see". If the valves were checked your bill would have been at least twice to three times as much. I find 15$ is a bit steep for a oil filter. Next time take in a Walmart ST6607 and have them install it. 3 bucks. I have been using them on my ST1300 for over 100k miles and on my NT now for 10k miles.
