You're just left with yourself all the time, whatever you do anyway. You've got to get down to your own God in your own temple. It's all down to you, mate.

Hey Stnkfeet2000 and Iceman,
Just bought a 1000 SF with over 10,000 km on it from the local importer. Runs beautifully. But there are no dealers here in New Zealand, let alone parts and workshop knowhow on MZ 1000s. I too have thoughts/consideration regarding valves and clearances. The manual suggests checking them at 20,000 km after there initial service at 1,000 km. (0.12 - 0.20 mm inlet and 0.22 - 0.30 exhaust). I would welcome any suggestions on ckecking them as you clock up mileage - the buckets are not exactly of the K-Mart available type. If you have checked clearances I would love to know what there are at the relevant mileage which might give me some gauge of what to expect.
Ride on ......
