Here's a possible oportunity for someone good with bike engines to make some money.......
My bike is due the valve shim clearance check and (probably) replacement of those out-of-spec.
I've researched doing this myself as money is tight. I'm no expert when it comes to bike engines but I have managed to do some non-trivial stuff before (for example, work on the clutch). However, the sensible part of me says this one is just a bit beyond me - especially if the shims need replacing as this involves removal of the cams and hence the oportunity to kill the engine if done wrong.
The next step is to start phoning around garages to see what the cost is. Before I do that, anyone have any recommendations where to try?
Even better, anyone want to make some money by doing it as a cashie?
Location-wise - I'm based in Joondalup (very north) and I work in Ossie Park. Hence, anywhere but south of the river works for me.
FYI, it's a 2001 ZX12R and I would supply it with all the fairing and stuff removed hence saving a few minutes or so (saves quite a bit of time when putting it all back together).
Cheers,
Stuart.
