Roughly how much to do valve clearances?
Discussion
I'm in two minds to hand over the bike to the local Honda dealer or back street bike garage, or dust off the Haynes manual and try it myself.
This depends on what will be roughly be charged. The bike itself is a 2000 cbr600f so worth about the same as a Big Mac therefore I don't care about official stamps.

That's cheap for a vtwin as there's twice the crap to take off, I reckon £250 on a 4 cylinder bike, I personally wouldn't bother, I have checked them on lots of bikes and only one had needed shims changing and they were barely out of spec, and had done 58k miles, on an old CBR6 just keep riding it unless you are having issues.
It has become very tappety when cold. Only when it it properly hot does it quieten down. Prof Prolapse said:
They are pretty tappity as standard mate. Watch out for the CCT as a potential cause as it is probably more likely than valves.
I did mine a year or so ago. To be honest I would agree with Jazoli, it's a lot of effort but then again I'd not done it before. The Honda service manual you have is most certainly the same as mine where the timing marks aren't necessarily the same as described which confused me slightly.
If you like you can borrow my manual tensioner if you are near Dalkeith? You can rule out the CCT with minimal effort before you start taking it apart.
You'll also need a very very very long pozi2 screwdriver if you remove the carbs. Again you can borrow this if you like.
The CCT has been changed to a manual one. I'll leave it until i have time then look into it again. This bike is turning into Triggers broom. I did mine a year or so ago.
