Prolly a couple hundred if you took it to a dealer. Prob an hours work at Indy so $100. Buy a manual for your bike and DIY, you’ll save $$ and next time you gotta adjust the cables you’ll know how. You might think they’ll do a better job but trust me those monkeys at the shops won’t.

Really not hard at all. I've had a manual since forever. It's a must for ALL your vehicles. Youtube it and you'll see how simple it is.

yes thank you for the reply I'm just being lazy I already bought a manual I have to have the rear tire replaced anyway so I figure out why it's there I'll just have him do that too I just needed to know the estimate of how much should it cost me
