So I took my bike to a dealer that's right across the street from my house (international motorsports here in Phoenix, AZ.), All they have there is Ducati's and Kawasaki's. I asked him if he could inspect my bike for me and let me know what needs to be done. He looked at it and said that I need my fork seals done, new tires, clutch adjustment, change the oil, filter, spark plugs, and to tank the carbs. He said that everthing would prolly cost about $700.00 but he said he was unsure as he doen't work on honda's. I also asked him about the chain and sprockets and he said those were fine as well and to not change them if the Honda dealer told me otherwise. So it looks like I'm going to be heading to the dealer this weekend for true estimates.

What do you guys think or suggest I do myself?

TIA

 

If you're mechanically inclined, you could do all of those yourself. If you're not, or lack the equipment, it may be worth your while to get it done at the dealer.

Kool then I can do all that myself. Except for the tires and fork seals correct?... Or do you think I should do that myself as well?

The tires can be done on your own, if you've got the proper tools and some experience switching out rubbers. Fork seals are purportedly easy, but I've never done them myself, so I can't tell you for sure. I imagine it requires disassembling the forks, and while I'm quite competent at taking ish apart, I always end up with a few extra bolts when I'm done putting it together.
