Stu Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 you got a manual for the bike ?see if you need to use adaptors on the carbs or throttle bodies (im sure there carbed) and what size if i have the ones to fit you can borrow mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 not got a manual and yeah its the carb model. cam chain needs looking at n all coz its getting a little noisy. maybe new tensioner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 you will probably find the tensioner is ok and its will be the chain thats stretched Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 yeah good point. so its looky likey garage is doing it ive benn quoted £150 for the full 16k service which imo aint too bad. but i would rather some one do it that i no aint gonna lie and actually do the work. im of a very distrusting nature when it comes to gagrages.

Stu Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 hmmmm £150 is a bit cheap for a major service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 yeah kinda got bells ringing in my head n all. he said. carbs balancedcam chain tensioner checked/replacedvalve clearances checked/resetoil,filter maybe plugs. so hes probably thinking of chaning the oil quitening the cam chain down a bit n doing me out of a ton fifty.
