    TSS FTW! New Z750 (well, same one just different and better)

    Just had the 26000km service done (at 29500km - oops) and Paul at TSS has fixed the one thing that has bugged me since new; the flat spot from 5500 to 7000. The buzziness in that rpm range has gone too.

    Exhaust valves at the tight end of the limit. I would suggest it has been like that since new, as pzkpfw's Zed is (was - woohoo) waaaay smoother than mine.

    Never in the history of Jim have I been so happy to have my wallet lightened. And the guys in that workshop smile. Very odd. Anyone would think it was a good place to work.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    In November 2009. There's no XR1200s left. Sigh.

    Oh, bugger!

    Well, this is how the Motor Company has always played the game, I suppose.

    Edit: If you do happen to want to get one, PM Finn for contact details of whoever he used to import his Night Rod.

    It would have to be from Europe, the XR1200 is not available in USA

    Good to see some happiness in your life Jim. Popped into City Honda to pick up an air filter and oil filter for my new aquisition. Also had a gander at some of the stuff in the shop from riding kit, tools, tires etc. Been a long time since I've done this. Usually go in get what I want then out,(had my kit long enogh to know what's suitable). I'll be going back. Fucken damn sight better service than the previous Honda outfit.

    I think that since you've had it a little while now, they just removed the noob restrictor.



    (On a more serious note: last time I was there I was seriously put off by the really tall bloke [not quite sure if he was "shop" or "mechanic"] acting like a barstool and I decided to take future business elsewhere.
    Now your post.
    It seems service is so up-and-down all those "crap MC shops" threads seem a bit pointless; is any shop always good or always bad?)
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.
