Hi All,
I posted awhile back about my XS400 that wasn’t running - followed the advice on my last post and actually got the bike to run. The bike is not in the best shape (some idling issues) but I have rode it about 4 times now and it seems to run well. I dropped it off at a shop just to have a mechanic look over it and they sent me a bill that seems a little ridiculous to me. They said that the repairs on this bill are considered tier 1 repairs (the least amount they can do to make it run). I declined and told them I would just work on it myself, but now they still want to charge $180 for a diagnosis fee. Up front, they told me they would only do an inspection for $40 and never said anything about a $140 “diag rough” fee. I’m newer to motorcycles, so I wanted to see if this seems right. I attached the full bill below - the full tier 1 cost is 1,827.06. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!
