Big maintenance job...
Hi, I want to do quite big maintenance job on my ZZR400. The maintenance will cover:
1. Valve clearance 2. Carb balance 3. Clutch (only investigation, I can hear kinda rattling sound from clutch but one bloke told me it might be becouse the carbs are not balanced) 3. Oil and filter change so my question is (how much will it cost do do all this bits and pieces?) my kwaka is close to 40.000km To view pics on this biker's forum - your post count must be 2 or greater.

air filter is washable on yours, plugs/oil/oil filter + fitting id guestimate at around 90 if done at same time , carb balance is something i wouldnt worry about untill you see how the bikes running after the clearances are done . dunno how typical them prices for service and parts are though so ring around .

Re: Big maintenance job...
..typical breakdown ...
1. Valve clearance - 3 hrs labour €40 parts 2. Carb balance - 1/2 hr 3. Clutch (only investigation, I can hear kinda rattling sound from clutch but one bloke told me it might be becouse the carbs are not balanced) - 1/2/hr 3. Oil and filter change - 1 hr €40 lab = 175 parts = €80 plus vat tot = call it an even €300

Re: Big maintenance job...
That's a good price for the valves. She's a time consuming job. Oil and filter's a job you can do yourself (and should be doing quite regularly) but if it's going in for the valves, it makes sense to get all the jobs done together. Chopper will advise you on how frequently you should be changing the oil.
