Ok - I had my bike tended to by Reece/Rhys at Race Replica - Brooklyn just yesterday for a major service and tune, including valve clearances.

Never before after a major service have I noticed so many good things - adjusted things - and I'm a girl - a happy one now!

Total cost if you're curious was $340 after a $30 KSRC discount.

Bye bye old mechanic.

Noticed there shop whilst driving down the highway on Monday actually, was wondering if they were any good, now we know the answer, thanks Kaz.

Thats a damn good price too.!!

umm, are they offering a KSRC discount.?? If so no ones told me so there not on our sponsor list...

Yah, he wasn't specific about what discount exactly, but I just said "You give Kawasaki club discounts, don't you?" and he said "yeah" and jiggled the computer a bit and the cost was less his original $370.

Mind you, the verbal quote before the job started was "around $380"

So, I reckon $340 isn't too bad ay?

Maybe it was the classy KSRC stickers on my bike and the back of my helmet that made him melt....

Does anyone know of a place in Sydney that could do this work for this price?

A major service on a zx6 or zx10 around here is about $600..
I paid $220 for a 6000 k service last week (I suppled the oil) by Pro-Tune The advantage with that is they come to your house or place of work.
You should try Narellan Kawasaki as they are a sponsor. Long way for you though.. :-)

Lucky you Karen, when I spoke to them about looking at my ZXR750 motor for a look see and possible top end clean up/reco he wanted 2 grand ish... :shock:

Oh and when KSRC was mentioned he didn't give a rats...

Well i got a quote (they seemed nice) full major 24,000 service for $380 - very reasonable if you ask me

However - I'm still very keen to learn how to do it myself so i'll probably still do it myself
