Finally got my bike to the shop

I would suggest doing it all yourself, leaving two things:
Getting the carbs adjusted/tuned, and
Having the tire mounted.

Clean the carbs yourself with some good carb cleaner and some compressed air, and just take every last piece apart. They're not that complicated, just do one at a time so you have a reference piece. Charge the battery yourself, replace your own darn filter. Then, take the wheel off and take just the wheel to Early's Yamaha in Harrisonburg, and they will sell you and mount a new tire for less than almost anywhere around.

Sean and I did all of these things, and much (MUCH) more, to both of his bikes, and I also did these things to Alison's bike.

I am assuming you have four carbs?

If you run to a dead end, let me know and we can work something out if you need a garage and some help.
