Getting my bike back this week!
|
Bike is all fixed and getting it back this week.
Total Bill: 702,15 EUR.
Here's a list of stuff done for those who are interested:
- Compression test
- Cylinder head removed / reinstalled
- Timing Chain guides replaced
- Timing Chain tensioner replaced
- Timing Chain replaced
- Valves adjusted
- Spark plugs checked
- Air filter checked
- Fuel Injection system checked & adjusted
- Oil change & filter change due to metal slivers from the worn timing
chain.
Total labor: 7 hours, 332.50 EUR
The rest got eaten up in all the various replacement parts. She's running
smoothly again now.
Had a little chat with the owner too while I was there, and her and I came
to the conclusion that I really need an R1. I mean for one, I ride the
bike hard enough to have managed to wear down the timing chain by roughly
21,000 km and also my tires are starting to look a little more like track
tires than street tires as far as wear goes.
The really funny part about it though is that I don't ever feel like I am
pushing myself or the bike to it's limits. I generally don't leave of
excessively push my comfort zone. I tend to err towards the side of safety
and caution more than anything...but apparently my bike disagrees haha!
