Title: Maintenance Cost, S2R 1000 vs S4R
Post by: DucatiMonster on November 08, 2009, 07:39:34 AM
Can anyone tell me if there is a big difference with the cost of maintenance between a S2R vs S4R?

Service + Valve job

$495  748/851/888/916/996/S4R   
$360  2 valve motors M620-M1000/750SS/900SS

Prices don't include parts.

Of course, the dealers will be way higher $$$.

in one word "yes" there is a difference. In fact, if your a little mechanical, there's a great tutorial from ca cycleworks on youtube on adjusting the valves. The 4valve- its the same principle, just takes much longer, and maybe more intimidating.
