how much should labor be to put on a chain and sproket on an 88 kawi ninja.. aprox how many hours..

 

well i know around here they charge 90/hr for any labor, yes even oil changes. for the chain it SHOULD only take them about an hour but you know how shops and stealerships are, they like to rape you so it will probably take 1 hour and 2 1/2 of stading around that they added onto you

Holy ******* a. The stealership (suzuki) here charges 60 an hour, and the local performance shop he charges 45 an hour.

 

yea i got a qoute today of about an hour.. for like 60-80 bucks

 

Put it on yourself and save the $80. Plus, it'll give you a chance to tighten your axle bolts and recheck anything on the bike.

You'd be surprised how many dealership service employees do NOT tighten the bolts.

 

I got charged for an hour of labor, but when I got the bike back I was told I should have been charged more. They had never done that on a Yamaha before (Kawasaki dealership) and said it was a bitch.

Before I get stuff like this done, I always get an estimate, and I hold em to it.

It's not very hard to do yourself at all.

Invest that $80 in a manual and some tools.
