Left the bike in for its 80000km service today - expecting it to be a big one needing a few shims. Got a message this afternoon that it's going to be bigger still - apparently it needs a new cam chain, lots of shims and some gaskets replaced.
*sigh* still within the budget I was expecting, gonna talk to them more tomorrow to get more details.
I'll post all the details and price here when I get the bike back next week for other people's reference.

If you have no fear, you're not going fast enough.

Mate, the ZZR IS the upgrade 
12 months now on the mighty ZZR - new bike every 12 months would be a dream come true.
Oh and the 10? looks good, but too small - I'm a fat F$#K
(though I'm working on that)

Doesn't sound too bad for the work done... not much more and it would've been a rebuild
Glad it feels better - would be a bit dissapointing spending that money if it didn't make it noticably better
So about 80k I'll need a cam chain huh... Is that the standard service interval for it?

Don't know about that - but I could've gotten a rear shock
