I’m just a shade tree mechanic, hardly any skills at all , and it takes me less than 45 minutes. And that includes stopping for snacks.
Well, I take longer than an hour. I manually turn over the engine many times watching and adjusting as things go round & round.
The timing can go very quick or slow depending on how good (lucky) you get.

This is infact My Bike so time doesn't matter.
Making flat rate on somebody elses bike is a completely different situation

I got a mechanic to get my first xs sorted out and I had a list of things. He was very quick and did a great job. The next time i took it over for him to change out the fork seals he got one of his mechanics to do it. My bike was full of fork oil all over the place and they didnt clean up. I was really let down cause of this and it was my last time any mechanic touched any of my bikes. I told myself, if these guys can do it....so can I. And I am still learning and wrenching since! My time is better spent in studying the task, getting the proper tools and asking questions. Hope you get the courage to do the work yourself cause its an awesome feeling when you do it right and all works!! ohh and I am a happier person just spending alone time in the garage fiddlin around on my bikes....therapy I guess.
