Default Champion's Honda(Socal shop)

After a long wait i've finally got the bike over there and they're working on it as we speak. I hoped that the throttle cables were the only things needing repair, but I knew there was more to it, not being able to start.

new battery, rebuild carb, install throttle cables, and probably some other crap all for $350, is that a good deal?

I bought the bike for $1200 knowing I would have to get it fixed, but o well reasonable price for the repair and parts?

seems like an okay price considering its a dealership. man, you should've taken it to mach 1 across the street. incredible customer service and quite a bit cheaper than the dealership. when my buddy first got his cbr f2, champion wanted around 400 bucks to get it running well, mach 1 charged 250 i think.
when i bought my bike from champion a year ago, they had awesome customer service, but several months later it seemed to go down the drain. i heard they've improved again though.

I've seen places charge $350 for a carb rebuild alone. Considering, you got a good deal.

eeek
take it to mach 1 for all your service needs from now on. they have awesome prices on accessories as well. i know the assistant manager at cycle gear in laguna hills, if you ever need tires she'll hook you up.

no idea, but they charge a considerable amount less than dealerships for sure.
