get them done.

whats yer take on the 3 hours then?

for a 16 valve job that is a perfectly reasonable quote, and I would expect it to take about that long if you did it at home with someone who's done it before (but then I'd allow for whatever holds us up and revise it up to 5)

I remember it once took me and jafa 8 hours to do the valves on his bandit - took almost 5 hours just to work the head off due to the rust from the coolant welding things together (very silly design) and when it came to reassembly the HT leads were falling out of the caps!

she has an ER6n at 42k... kyle has the hornet at 25k.... did you follow this thread at all?

That should be right for the 900 - it matches what I've read online for time. They are recommended to be checked every 24,000 kms and plug replacement at the same time. Look on it as good going, as prior to that it is really only oil and a oil filter.

I read recently of a chap in the USA who never had his checked and looked at them at 90,000 MILES and they were all good!

Lots of Hornet talk in the naked section at wristtwisters.com (called a Honda919 in the USA).
