Hey Dover you could try Bike Sport in Helensville, the Tech has a great rep. Or, you could go to your last dealer and pay twice as much as for your 12,000 service. I hear things are tight there.
Immature and proud of it.

Hm. considering the assortment of ZX6Rs ZX10s, GSXR750s , GSXR1000s, Bandits, Boulevards, Vulcans and other assorted ironmongery that they have for sale: I rather think they may have some passing aquaintance with multi cylinder enginesOriginally Posted by zrxer

I would try them if I was up north but Puke is more convenient these days and I they have a pretty good rep.
I'm trying to avoid that Lou, paying through the nose for crap service.

Colemans..........never again.
Best Frenemy you could have!
fucken pussies... I have never had a service cost me less than $444... including my little zzr250... most expensive has been around $670 ish I think.
Since I don't ride my bike to church on sundays... I figure the bike needs to be looked after, and if thats the price, so be it.
You might also end up better off if you find a bike shop you like, have a relationship with them, etc. Things like servicing etc, it helps if the mechanic has a history with the bike, instead of having to try and find out. Stuff like loaners, bit of slack here and there, all comes easier when you know each other...

that's cos you ride fucken shitters
Forum whore
it don't help that you have one of these... i hear the price of armoured plating has shot through the roof (theres a war on ya know!)

That's a lot of pies...
Mine's never had a proper service as such, just an oil change now and again, re-adjust the chain and that, it runs well so that's all that matters eh
Forum whore
Pssshh. Buncha pussies mollycoddling y'r bikes. My Suzukis have NEVER had an engine oil change. Or an oil filter replaced. And never had any valve work done, either. Never will either. Doesn't worry them in the slightest.

Ixion.. this could be the cause of "Ringa dinga BLOODY BIG DINGA ding"

Given that a Suzuki rarely makes 24000 k's, I think you'll struggle finding a shop with any knowledge of performing a service at this interval.
Servicing a Suzuki with such unusual mileage will probably do more damage anyway so best just lube the chain and top the oil up.
Not bad for 4:30am eh?

Do what I've done - just say no.

Mmmmm! My last service was $75 at Colemans and they did a good job changing the oil and filter. Checked my brake pads and chain and sent me on my merry way. Had no complaints then, but will be using Classic_Z from now on - seems to know his stuff.
At 40k I'll probably have to do the valve adjustment next and possibly new chain and sprockets.
IN three years, though admittedly not a lot o miles, the old girl has been very cheap to run, (so's the bike...).
You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.
Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!
Would you like some CANDY!?!?!
Get a quote Mr Dover, then make sure they stick to it.
6000km service down here turned out costing quite a bit less than the $300 than the dealer quoted. Sweet.
A' course, I needed a new rear tyre, so that bumped it way up again. But that was a bit cheaper than mr dealer quoted as well.
Perhaps Dover you should bring the bike down to Masterton for the service.
