"scuffy"

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?????

Heh, where are the pics?

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** · 30th November 2005, 18:36

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

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

thanks guys. spoke to a guy tonight who bought an 05 ginny with 60-odd k on the clock. his service cost over $200 he was saying.

had her out just tonight....running fine, and saw a rabbit on the way home [took a detour!] lmfao. will attempt to get photos tomorrow.
