I would tear the motor down my self just because I enjoy doing things like that. The good part about having a dealer do it you get a warranty. I just wrecked my bike and i´m going to put it back together myself. I was going 85 mph around a 35 mph curve hit some loose gravel and lost it. I got the nick name in high school I´m about 6 feet 4 inches about 290 lbs ketcha later
