I have not been happy with the servicing carried out by my local KAWA dealer so this (36,000km) service I am doing myself.
Will be taking my time and using the genuine workshop manual:
- change oil & filter DONE $106- change coolant DONE $50
- replace chain & sprockets DONE $195
- clean air filters FAIL(foam disintergrated in my hands), ordered new K & N items as cheaper/better than genuine $102.50
- cleaned all the oil from the engine and oil is leaking from valve cover gasket & not the cam sensor, so will replacea s been leaking since its last service by the dealer! $173
- replace spark plugs $
- front brake discs need replacing, using MetalGear replacements & pads $440
- front caliper rebuild, no leaks but I think there may be at least one seized piston? $???
- cold start cable is broken again, replaced by dealer last time! $??
- replace footpeg rubbers $44Anything else I should do?
- New front tyre (Michelin)$

Re: ZX12 - 36K service
you could check the valve clearance while you have the rocker cover off just to make sure they are right..

Re: ZX12 - 36K service
do the rear pads as well. Lube the clutch cable.
Doing the clearances on a 12 takes a bit of time, and a lot of patience.
