Thanks [mention]Snod Blatter[/mention] appreciate it

I have not adequately looked after my Chinese 125. Through ignorance rather than apathy. I changed the oil really quite often but have done nothing about other things. The 'head race' bearing went after only 5600 miles. Flip side of this. I have a 1990 zzr600 (yay) in good condition. I have bought the Haynes manual for it and plan to follow the servicing advice in it. Are there good things I can do not mentioned in the manual? Does it matter who made the filters that I might replace etc? Are there good brands and bad?

I spent 15 months and 5500 miles on my 125 and I am doing my DAS now. I don’t regret my time on a 125. I still enjoy it. I stayed away from DAS because I couldn’t afford to do more than I was doing. If I had my time again I would have bought a Japanese 125 in stead of a Chinese just because of the loss of value.

Thanks for replies. I had day one DAS today. Being able to maintain and up speed whilst facing a breeze or whilst uphill is certainly a bonus. The difference was not as intimidating as I thought it would be.

I will have to SORN her when she arrives.

thanks [mention]dynax[/mention] I would not have thought about that.

Hello people. I was looking for words of wisdom. I don't know what I don't know so thought I would ask you clever souls to let me know all I need to know. I hope to pass my DAS over the next couple of weeks. I have just bought a ZZR600, 1990 with 16000 miles on the clock and it looks beautiful. Should arrive tomorrow. I am starting to feel a bit intimidated by the difference. I have ridden 6000 miles on my 125 and am nervous about the step up (but also seriously excited). So hit me, any advice you want to give.
