My bike has 12800 miles on it. The technician inspected all the valves,,,, and they were all within spec. Not one was out of adjustment.

I've always been interested in information like this, so I hope some of you find this info. helpful as well. Cheers, Dave.

360.00 for a full service including valve inspection (and adjustment if required), all new fluids, sych throttle bodies, basically everything except for fork oil change.
The work was performed by a local cycle shop, not a Triumph dealer. I feel fortunate to have found a shop locally that works on all brands, whose prices are very fair, and whose work is reputable. I called about 15 shops trying to get a rear tire installed, and everyone told me to take the rim off the bike because they don't work on Triumph. This shop told me to ride the bike in (with no appointment) and they'll install the tire right then and there for 35. bucks. Not bad for Northern Virginia!
