new generator (ouch!)
new OEM rear shock and linkages
new chain & sprockets
new throttle cable
new fork oil
new oil and filter
HEL brake hoses
new brake pads
new mirrors (ones I've had for 5 years under warranty that I never got round to fitting)
beowulf titanium exhaust (baffle sitting on my deskĀ :eek )
new Bridgestone T30 front and rear (used to BT23s and these are supposed to be better)
deep clean
Since that lot cost a bit, I'm keeping the FZ1 for a few more years and will probably get a few more bits done - such as new downpipes and possibly an Ohlins shock.
Looking forward to riding it home. Have only ridden it 4 times this year since the floods affected things badly where I am.
What rear shock did the dealer put on and why did you not just a pay a bit extra for the Ohlin's if that's what you desire
