    Is in really good condition overall, other then the little tick of the cam chain that I am trying to get replaced, took it to a mechanic today and the mechanic basically said good luck trying to find someone to do the job :/

    Don't jump to the conclusion its the chain itself - may well be the tensioner, which is (relatively) cheap at about $70 for genuine parts (same as a ZZR250 of early 90's vintage). Some people even pull out the old one and clean it which tends to yield positive results.

    Looks great though! Hope you enjoy it :D

    I went to a smaller business thinking Id have a better chance and I swear it looked like he'd seen a ghost when he seen my bike haha
    Guess they'd rather stick to the lawn mower engines

    just take the tensioner out and clean it and oil it first, every time i have thought my cam chain was gone once i put a new tensioner in or cleaned the old one the noise was better.

    also the engines are noisy anyway.
