This weekend my new to me Breva 1100 gets delivered. The mileage is 12,500 mile and within a week i will be doing a 1100 mile trip around Scotland. When i get back i was thinking of booking the bike in at the dealer for a couple of jobs.

Firstly to let them change the inner spark plugs due to age and mileage.
Check and adjust the throttle body balance.
Check and adjust the valve timing.

How long do you think this would take them. Would you expect that the valve timing and the throttles would be out by much?
I have never had a twin before and like the idea of knowing that everything is set as it should be. I am happy to change all the other filters.
 
First, valve timing is determined by the cam. They would adjust valve clearance. To do the job would be about two hours. That inner plug is a bugger, but you don't need to remove the airbox to get to it. Also have them check the outer plugs as well (they need to be removed to do the valve adjustment). They don't last as long as the inner, and an anti seize compound should be applied to the inner.
