Short Version
Any good Kawasaki service shops in Hamilton.
Long Version
So I'm keen to get my zx9R 2001 E2 looked over by some people that know what they are doing preferable in Hamilton but will make a trip to Tauranga or Auckland if they're worth it. I was going to do most of the maintenance myself but since I've only just starting to learn how to maintain a bike and bought it 6 months ago I figured it would be worthwhile for someone that knows and works with Kawasaki's to go over it first since it is an older bike. I think it's ready for another major service @ 36,000km and wasn't ridden very often by the previous owner so has sat for a little while but been started every once in awhile. Starts and runs well and haven't had any problems for the last 7,500 + kilometres. I have done oil, oil filter, brake fluid bleed/change, cleaned the bike :) and lubed the chain every once in awhile. Guess I just want some peace of mind that everything is running and looking good before I start maintaining it myself. All that stuff a motorcycle mechanic will pick up on instantly where as a noob like me would miss. What do you guys/gals think don't worry and just do everything myself? I'm figuring it will require a valve clearance check sometime soon as well.
Cheers
