hi every one

i have just brought my 91 zxr it was in poor shape with a lot of miles on the clock and sounds really rough. so i have just send it a way to have it serviced and new fornt rear sprockets & chain cause the others have started to hook. . the whole thing is gonna cost £350 is this a good price for the complete service and parts?? so have to wait for pics peeps till had time to sort it out . well i just thought id introduce my self kai

[rover220]

sounds on the expensive side but depends on what this "service" entails

[kai_101]

new oil filter , carbs balanced , new plugs , air fliter , oil , brake fluid , both sprockets and chain fitted . i did sound really rough tho .

[rover220]

thats about £120 in parts. and £230 for the labour...

sounds abit expensive to me still

[kai_101]

really well will have to see what he has done to it then coz thats extortionate mate thanx . i will keep you informed thanx

welcome to the forum. Id say more then 120 for parts but not much more. Either way that is alot of money for a few hours work!

[rover220]

non of those are going to fix a noisy bike either.

you need valve clearances doing and cam chain checking.

Thats bullocks, youd get baz to do it

lol @ robB

welcome to the forum, get a list of what they are doing exactly for that money.

sounds about right to me if you break it down. A major service on my gixer costs £250 and they quoted me £180 to get a set of C&S fitted - £130 for the C&S and 1hrs labour.

at a rough guess
oil & filter £40
4 plugs £30
air filter £30
C&S £100 - 1hrs labour £50
brake fluid
carbs balanced -
and 2 hours labour to do the service and balance your carbs - doesnt sound unreasonable to me.

its easy enough to do most of that yourself for a fraction of the cost - people on here are more than happy to help if you arent mechanically minded.
Get them to balance your carbs, and maybe your C&S if you dont want to buy tools and do the rest of the service yourself - its much more satisfying IMO.
