I want to replace the Camchain on my ZZR 1100.
Has anyone done this Model B4?
Although I can afford to have it done I detest giving money to some greedy Bike shop charging a discusting $110 an hour.
+ I like to do thing's myself
Problem is I don't have any room!!! (single car garage only and full of shit)
Is there an Angel disguised as a KSRC member with the room and knoweldge?

(Blown up Bike thread has hastened me, as it makes a lot of noise now )

Possibly weekend after next.

Dunno about the house trashin bit Got little one's.
But the spanner day under the carport would be ok if we can finish in a day.
Love the Bigscreen but I'm allergic to beer

If it includes parts the price aint half bad, if you cant do it yourself. I would also get a few more quotes to see what the average is

Already told him I had the new chain and tensioner and that was his quote
Bugger it I will do it myself.
Worse comes to worse, then I'll have to pay

haha, $85 p/h if you leave it with us, $95 if you insist on watching, $125 if you tell us how to do it, and $250 if you do it yourself and cockit right up then want us to resurect it

I can offer finger pointing, silly comments over your shoulder and telling you that wasnt the way to do it after it stuffs up, drink everything, eat all your food, insult your missus and kids etc...

Glad I can help

Thats a weeks worth of grog you will have to forgoe steve

If I do it drunk I might get it right

Rang him this morning at Service Centre, booked in to drop off Friday.
Pegged him to $350, my parts but he will fix oil leak, do valve clearances and sync carbies for that price
Doing it myself would have been good..........but in an open carport

Sounds like a top price for all that

A mate has his trail bike done there and reckons they are "great".
No bullshit add on's and they are straight talkers
I'll report on workmanship after a reasonable amount of revving the shit out of the old girl

Yes it does sound like a good price for all that, hopefully it will be uneventful.
