Default How much labor?
What is a reasonable amount of labor hours to adjust adjustable push rods?

DIY, pretty easy. I am waiting on that new tool Fuelmoto is sending with their kits. That will make things even easier.

Thanks guys! My bike has been sitting at the stealers for 4 days for that 1 hour job to be done. You're right, I should have done it myself.

what dealership is your bike at? 4 days for a pushrod adjustment is unacceptable

The bike sits for 4 days because every job that comes in that they can make more money off than your 1 hour job gets done first. I found out when I first got my bike and used HD for service that an appt was absolutely worthless. Imagine dropping your car off at the dealer and getting treated like this. Wouldn't happen.

I have to agree with the above statement. I listened to every excuse they could think of today. So it's promised tomorrow which will be 5 days. I'm picking it up if it's ready or not. If it hasn't been touched then I'll do the 1 hour job myself which is what I should have done in the first place.
