    All good
    A member of an Adelaide Facebook motorbike group i'm on was recently holidaying in Melbourne, he used to live there.
    While he was there his Triumph was due for it's 25,000km service, so he took it to his old mechanic to have it done
    He picked up his bike from the mechanic 2 day's later when it was ready and his bill was $1350, including the 25,000km service and valve adjustment's.
    A couple of local mechanic's said that his mechanic had overcharged him around $500 to $600

    Alright so Mr. Mechanic man said I need a new intake manifold and ignition leads. He replaced the front wheel bearings and spark plugs, and he balanced and tuned the carby. Feels a bit better now

    Manifold's are cheap at $24 inc post if you buy the chinese set's, i reckon they need to be replaced every year though.
    The original Yamaha intake's can be found on ebay from $49ea
    https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=fzr250r+intake&_sacat=0

    Carby's will need to be rebalanced and retuned once you replace the intake manifold's too

    There's new 7mm ignition lead here for $3 per foot, it's clear instead of black

    Look's like they'll work.
    I used some pencil coil's on my 3LN3 FZR, they're off a GSXR750 Suzuki that were 17 year's newer than my original coil's, and now i have no coil lead's or spark plug cap's to worry about
