3. a service manual, some mechanical skill, some tools, and time is all you need
I totally agree! My only misgiving is not having a proper place to do this kind of work and yea,I wish I would have gone first floor. Everyone else who owns a bike here keeps it in the house!!! Not to mention running the puppy up and down the stairs 7-10 times a day!

All I need is the feeler gage and a set of shims and I'm sure I could do it. I'll call and order the parts today! I'll need the o-rings,seals,shims,etc. Ofcourse that's the other "fear" that I'll miss something that the stealership normally does. Kinda like the guy who changes his own oil on his car but never lubes the chassis or checks the other fluids.
