£140 - £160?

just want to add to this that i was looking for tyres and after reading on here settled on the z6's.. cheapest north west i could find was £210 fitted...found them online buy only for £160 ish but i ended up settling on a pair on conti road attacks for £130 buy only....another £20 fitting or £40 RIRO and im saving about £50...

people on here seem to get them a lot cheaper than me but seem to be down south...and i though up north was... reet cheeper for everythin;)

Balance the carbs, drain the floatbowls to clear out any crud/water, free if you can DIY

Set the throttle pot correctly (ditto)

Do the 2nd/3rd gear ignition wire mod (ditto)

If you want to spend a few quid, do the stepped key ignition advance (4deg), otherwise slot the ignition pick-up holes to get half the effect (2deg) for free.

None of the above make much noticeable difference but they all count and cost next to nothing if you can DIY.

Change front fork oil, £10 tops if you DIY, use 10W or maybe mix 10W and 15W to stiffen a little. Doesn't really sort front end but it's a cheap help. Next step is set the sag (washers, literally) or preferably some springs to suit your weight, around £70.

Decent tyres, £160 - 200 depending what/where.
