48k Major Service

[Saki]

Hey guys,

ZX10 is coming up for 48k major service within the next few thousand km's. Went to a few bike shops to get a ball park on a price and i am getting between $600-$900.

Most things i can do on a service, like oil, filter, coolant, plugs etc etc, but things i haven't attempted myself as things like Valve stuff etc etc.

So just wondering is there anyone in QLD Area, that you guys can reccomended who is good and cheap, like i notice LAE racing in Brisbane is a sponsor so there is a bit of a saving already.
Otherwise is there some one who is skileld enough and could show me the ropes on how to do it!

I have the work shop manual and have flicked through it, but stil a little unsure. I guess what i am trying to do is save money and not spend it all at the shop, if i can find a cheaper place or someone who can help!

Cheers guys

I'd sell it and buy another bike.

i rang LAE and gunna get hem to do only hte valve clearances an they want $250 with KSRC discount. Also custom map for PC3 they want $350.
Sounds reasonable to me!

$250 for your valve clearances sounds reasonable, the PC on the other hand

[timmyrocks]

so your skimping out on the service, but willing to spend $350 on a custom map
nice

No, i am not skimping, but i can do most of the things on the major service. I've just never done a valve clearance before and thats about the only thing i can't do. Fork oil and regrease swing arm have recently been done. Otherwise all teh checks, brake fluids, pads, engine oil, filter, coolant etc etc

Yeah i thought 350 for a custom tune sounded a bit high also, but quite a few people i've spoken too say LAE Racing is the best place to go thats local (well its 70k's away!)

That's what my post was referring to but yours is far less subtle.
