    Bike shops/ Mechanics

    Hey to all those who work in the Bike/ Mechanical world. I need your help if you would be so kind.

    Im after prices for the following on a 2kr FZR250 and what it would cost for a workshop to do

    2 Fork Seals
    Fork oil for the forks.
    Front Fork Springs
    General check over to insure all is OK.
    General service (Oil, filter, plugs)

    I have asked around in CHCH, but Im looking at all over New Zealand for prices on what that would cost to do. Serious replies please.

    Mods: I was going to put this in the Maintenace part of the site, but then I would have to break it up. And it doesnt fall under General Maintenace IMO

    Don't we have a kb member who set himself servicing bikes up over in New Brighton, Bower Ave to be precise? Don't remember the name though.

    Your fork seals are probably best bought from Don.

    R1madness is the man you're thinking of
    The views expressed above may not match yours - But that's the reason my Dad went to war - wasn't it?

    Sniper on the oil, filter and plugs thats just general maintance, you could do this yourself, I am sure someone here would take the time to show you how do this if you are not sure. This would place you in the position of being able to do more regular oil/filter changes as you would not be paying the higher costs of the mechanic to spend what 30 minutes on your bike and charge you an hours labour.
    Its not the destination that is important its the journey.
