I completely agree and I was willing to spend a few hundred $ to shortcut getting up to a speed on a new and different motorcycle. But four figures for an 'inspection' gave me pause. I am now on the lookout for one of those knowledgeable shops. I joined the local BMW club but it's next meeting isn't for another month.I agree, you can do everything yourself, I would have someone who has experience with the 1100 to do the valves and throttle body sync at least the first time. Getting that right makes a tremendous difference in the smoothness of the engine and can eliminate any surging.
I did mine as per the manufacturer and it ran great I thought until Moto Ghost here in PHX did it for me the last time, big difference..
There are plenty of knowledgeable shops around that know these bikes and you don't need to pay BMW prices. IMO it would be worth a couple of hours shop time just to look over his shoulder.
Cheers
