"scuffy"

[sunhuntin]

finally the local dealership has got their act together and got my bike. dad picked her up 2 days ago, and i took her out yesterday. she now has about 70k on the clock. she is black with blue pinstripes [very striking!] and rides nicely. the dealer even threw in a helmet [after a little badgering] however they want to charge $175 for the first service....is this the norm?

i love this bike....she is beautiful....its nice to be able to slow down and even stop and not worry about her stalling! took her to whangahu last night and back in....damn shitty "road repairs" with loose stones everywhere...good thing i knew they were there.

But.....what is it? Another GN?????

[Waylander]

Heh, where are the pics?

[cowpoos]

I had my klx300r back from its second service the other day....$1270

three weeks ago...the dr-z250 [the bike I supply my worker] service cost me $387

I think $175 is pretty resonable

[sunhuntin]

yep, shes a ginny. no pics yet...want to give her a proper clean, the shop guys did a not very good job, lol.

[cowpoos]

I've gotr some awesome performance mods for a GN....you interested

she'll be fast enuff to orbit mars when I've finnished with her :2thumbsup

the GN needs its valve clearances done on the first service... very normal

[froggyfrenchman]

good to see you are back on the road. Hope you enjoy your hours of fun riding on the new hog.

frikken hell.... what did they have to do?

the klx...replace both fork seal + oil and fit spacers...new front sprocket and chain...left radiator gaurd...oil,filter...clean air filter...new tires front and rear[thats my second rear]...spark plug...tune up...clutch lever...bulb...front brake pads...+labour

I went out for a trail ride with a mate...10hrs of abuse and its daily farm duties...its had a hard start to life this one...my last one nothing went wrong with it...but it wasn't pranged and crashed on a trail ride...errrr
