Update:
I found a 2003 1 owner from new ZZR600
FSH and all receipts, MOT's, parts etc just done shy of 17k, carbs cleaned, balanced and new innards etc at last service. new tyres and a scott oiler* oiler might be coming off if it fails to please
slight scrapes on fairing due to a slow off while stopping at a roundabout due to diesel.
just in the process of doing some fettling (sorting a few rusted screws and the remains of a luggage system etc which means fairing off hence the finding of rusty screws.) adjusting the rear shock to handle by manly physique.......lard,
should soon be ready for its first WB run

ZZR Update:

After going through all the components that WR6133 suggested nothing stood out so in it went to GP Auto's in Cricklade. now bear in mind when I bought it, it had Service paperwork stating the Carbs had been cleaned etc.

faults found:
Pilot Jets and Pilot fuelways blocked, mixtures were lean and Carbs out of balance also float bowls and carbs were green with fuel residue
So they cleaned everything including the carb slides and diaphrams, sorted the jets etc balanced carbs and checked everything for leaks.

Bike now runs like new so it will make an appearance on a rideout.

Glad you got it sorted out.
To be honest I take service history with a pinch of salt as just about anything can be printed of online,
I go more on what it sounds and rides like on the day I view it.
The way I look at it I'd rather buy a bike with no history that rides well than a bike with full history that don't.
At the end of the day a bike could have full service history but could have spent its life being thrashed around a track in which case the history means jack.

Quite agree fella, when i test rode it and on the ride home through town it never showed any problems until i took it out for a proper shakedown a week later but when they actually supply paperwork, not the service book, stating they have done something but obviously didn't that's telling fibs

Cheers matey, I can honestly recommend the guys at GP Auto's they nailed it within a day. They are all ex main dealer lads who had enough of main dealers so branched out on their own
