i had a wee search on here but could not find what i was after, feel free to point me in the right direction.
ok, so i have a 94 250 zeal (inline 4). the dude i bought it off said it was serviced before he bought it down in dunedin somewhere. it is almost 5,000ks since this and is time to think about getting it serviced.
i am keen to do some things myself, i.e. i would like to do the oil and filter change, and the air filter too? once these are done, if i took it to a mechanics... what do they do? i am assuming that if i do the 3 things mentioned above myself, then i am saving myself some money.
do they balance/tune the carbs or whatever every service? or would i need to state that i did/did not want it done? there is probably a 30 point check thing to do right? brake pads etc.. chain adjustment and the like.
basically, what should i expect to be done and if someone wants to approximate a price (assuming lots of things are not going to be replaced) that would be appreciated too.
