No labor, instruction only.

I did say at least and was based on the best quote I've ever heard over 10 yrs here.

!00% on all covered repairs! SO! what's covered? I'd want to see this in writing ! I'd also want to see what isn't covered! What are you really getting for your money!$4114 for a 5yr warranty in CA, for $1600 more you could buy a new bike just for parts,now that's a warranty!

Decided against it. Cost of having the dealer doing all scheduled maintenance just to keep warranty in effect would be very costly. And I'd be pretty upset if the dealer tried to convince me that the timing chain was a normal-wear maintenance item and not covered under warranty. Not sure this dealer would try that on me, but it could be a costly gamble. Other than adding a Suzuki pillow gel seat and windshield, my bike will remain 100% stock - no plans to ever alter exhaust, air filter or any carburetor mods. Thanks for the advice.

Right now the only thing I notice, probably from riding when it's 31 degrees, is that I need to use the choke for about 5 minutes to keep it running smooth. Once warmed up everything seems just fine - Not sure how it will do at low speeds this summer in Oklahoma, but I'd hate to do any mods that would "fix" the backfires. I will consider installing the Raptor petcock sometime.

Once you've got a few thousand miles on it and have done the valves, maybe pulled the rear wheel and had a tire mounted, you'll get comfortable with tinkering.. and the carb won't be so mysterious and spooky to touch. Remember that a project that YOU set the schedule on gives you preparation time. For days before actually grabbing tools you can drizzle penetrating oil on the carb bowl screws. Antisieze is your friend when you put stuff together.
Stainless steel allen heads are the usual replacements, though I kept the stock bolts and just hit them with antisieze, but the Allen head bolts allow for pulling the bowl with the carb still on the bike. And you can swap jets with it installed.
Check the header bolts at the head if it's backfiring a lot. They are a regular maintenance item. Don't even Try to tighten them so they never work loose. They aren't stout and they are screwed into aluminum. Better to need to snug them up every few months than be trying to get new threads in the head,  
Use a 1/4" drive ratchet and don't use both hands, be gentle. FEEL the threads clamping down. Another good place for antisieze.
