Big Service

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.

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
