I used to take mine to where Mario took his, Race Replica Kawasaki in Brooklyn...
...that was until they serviced his bike and gave it back to him with the front calipers loose.
I take mine to a Suzuki Dealer in Bendigo, they have a mechanic who used to work on Kawasakis in a previous life and doesn't mind me asking him lots of newbie stoopid questions. The only thing wrong with the dealer is the POS XJ600 they had as a loaner, wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding and had less go than my GPX250.
I may try the Kawasaki dealer in Bendigo next time and see how they handle the same thing. I don't know if they have a loaner though, and they were meant to be more expensive than the Suzuki dealer.
I had a chain and sprocket replaced by the local Honda ATV/Trail Bike/Generator/chainsaw dealer. I supplied the bits, and he had the rattle gun and cold chisel needed to loosen the front sprocket
