How Much Should I Pay ?

[doobyboy26]

Hi, I'll be sending over my Quad to a mechanic... The mechanic charges me $30 an hour... I have this to do on my 350...

1. Valve Adjustements
2. Change the rear brake pads
3. Put on new front and back sproket
4. New Chain
4. Clean out the carb.


How much time in total do you think this could take ? Thanks!

Why would you send it to a mechanic to do that stuff. It's all simple and only takes basic tools. Hell if I'm lazy I'd send my 12y/o son out to do those for me. Seriously do it yourself. Youtube is your friend if you don't know how to do it.

I was expecting that answer... YouTube is a friend up to one point... And I don't trust myself enought at least for the valve adjustments...

And I don't mind paying somebody to do it. I just want to make sure he won't over do it.

I do alot of side work fixing 4 wheelers, dirt bikes, riding mowers and just about anything with an engine in it. I would charge you $200 in labor to do all of that for you.

Hell I'd be willing to give you my number and talk you through it. I hate to see someone throw money away on a mechanic unless I'm the mechanic LOL.

That could be killer !

I was surprised when I went on YouTube. I thought there would be more *HOW TO* videos on the YFM 350. That quad has been around for decades now.

Thankx !

I'm thinking 3-4hrs depending on how meticulous your mechanic is. I'm picky so I take my time check things over several times, etc.

Ditto. I'm the same way. You can't charge for all your time, unfortunitly. lol
