    Bringing a bike back to life... CBR 900 RR

    I have a '94 CBR 900 RR that has been garaged for 18 months and I'm wanting to get it road worthy again.

    I rode it lightly during the summers, changed oil every year and I believe I added gas stabilizer before I put it away. It has never had a full service or tune outside of a carb adjustment.

    I bought plugs, have a new battery and filter -- and am looking for a dealer or shop to bring the bike back to life by:
    • putting in the new plugs
    • oil and filter change
    • carb clean and tune up
    • chain lube
    Anything else I should consider, the bike has 5400 miles? I know the bike needs more than the winterizing package the shops offered, but I got a quote for $520 and think it is way high.

    Can anyone point me to solid service tech who does good work for a fair price?

    thanks,
    Dave

    TFOG, as stated in the above post, is recommended.

    Thanks for the replies, I put in some calls. TFOG isn't open and EPIC is out till Jan 2nd. I'll see what Jim has to say later this week.

    For more background, I'm in the Wash Park area and am actually looking for someone to do the work versus a do it yourself project as I'm swamped with prepping for a move so I need one less thing to do.

    thanks

    If it was mine I would
    Change oil and filter
    Change sparkplugs
    Flush and change coolant
    Adjust and lube chain
    Flush and change brake fluid front and rear
    Adjust clutch cable and lube
    Check air pressure and tires for deterioration
    Check brake pads
    Clean and adjust carbs
    Lube levers
    Ride it!

    Shouldn't be more than 250-300 depending on the Carbs
    If you can wait till I get back from Baja I will hook you up.
    You cant really ride it here right now anyway.
    PM me if you want, I will be back 1/5/08
