be happy no worries
ps whatever the case is, make sure ur mechanic is good, some shops have good bike price, but have no good mechanics at all! whats the point of getting ur bike 500 cheaper at one shop only to have to spend about 1000 of repairs later on coz of FAKEY bike diagnostics??? makes sense? battery weak they ask u change starter motor, brake pads faulty they ask u change brake disc. etc etc.. especially for the newer riders...
some shops bike price more ex, but they got super mechanics there like those u watch on tv that can spot a problem just by hearing your engine rev... hahahah
Its your bike, u decide....
