I'm planning on doing a fair few km's on the zx6r over the next few months (round both islands, maybe round the north a couple of times) and want to make sure it's all good to go without breaking down in the middle of nowhere.
I was going to give it an oil and filter change, but I was wondering what else should be done. It's a 96 zx6r, and it's up to 95000km's now. I've been doing the oil and filter every 5000km's since I got it and it was done regularly before that.
What other things should I get done on it before taking it on any decent trips? How do you know if the valve clearances need adjusting, or the carbs need syncing? It seems to be running fine at the moment and has done for as long as I've had it.
There's a slight burble in the exhaust note that I've noticed recently, but it doesn't seem to be affecting performance. Is there anything in specific I should watch out for?
Cheers
