Hi all,
The dealer here wants 200USD (700ILS) for this simple service. a pure rip off which I dont want to pay.
Basically what I need to do:
- System checks
- Oil & Oil Filter replacement (Will probably use Motul's 5100 15w50 <--- hot climate where I live)
- Chain adjustment, but i probably wont do it myself and just let a mechanic do it
- Frame Sliders instalition
Note; I dont not have an oil filter as I forgot to order one and I doubt the dealer here have some in stock for the Ninja 400.
Now I pretty much can do all those things besides the chain adjustment. Question is should I risk taking off the plastics of the bike (to install the frame sliders) because I afraid it will be more a pain in the ass than those dumbass seats kawasaki built on this bike and i will not be able to put it back on.. and ofc there's the warranty. Treating it myself will just take it off, and its a brand new bike so if some **** comes too it its all on me.
Standing right now at 815km, Service would probably be at the end of next week if i keep riding it 30km / day for the break in phase.
thoughts?
