Default Anyone have experience with Richmond Superbike?

I am going to need my valves adjusted and my carbs synchronized soon. I am changing the coolant, brake fluid, oil, etc myself. I have called Ultimate and Burcham pricing out a 7500 mile service and what scares me is they both told me to ignore the service and owners manual regarding the valve adjustment and carb sync and double the interval at 15k. Plus they want over $600 for the service that is just an oil change, check shit over(they don't even change the coolant nor brake fluid like recommended) and adjust the valves/carbs(because i asked them to do it so they included it in the price). Fvck that!

Richmond Superbike has a more appealing price and I have heard good things about them. I am wondering if anyone here has used them and I would like to hear about your experience both good or bad.

Also if anyone else has another shop they recommend with Kawasaki experience, please feel free.

Thanks.

Sorry. I've taken all my bikes to proclass for everything from brakes and ss lines, to jet kits, valve adjustments, & tires. Great work and prices.

Richmond Superbike did all the repair and paint work when I wrecked my bike. Joey is very professional and passionate about motorcycles. I would recommend them to anyone.
