Didn't pay anything. Just stopped by for a couple of words. I've used the Burwins lot before and they've been excellent.
To be honest, I take everything with a pinch of salt, and I had in mind the stuck tensioner as well, so will be checking that before anything.They're dirt cheap, and bang on like you said, it's coming from the front cylinder.

My vote is for sticky Cam Chain tensioner too....I've replaced them with manuals on just about every Suzuki I've had...and my mates DRZ. Easy fix hopefully!

Some mechanics take a view of the bike as a whole and pitch you the worst case scenario, that way if you baulk you don't end up going down a rabbit hole on soemthing that actually needs other items done.
Other mechanics just like making work for themselves. We have a local saab garage that my mum has been using since i was born, the main guy and others really know their stuff, but they have taken her for a ride on a few jobs that I 100% know the issue/parts/labour was a fraction of what she was billed. Still go there but she runs the quotes past me each time now lol

Don't use that mechanic again.
Sv tensioners fail, it is common fail on the sv engine. I'd check the front tensioner as that is the that usually goes. Easy to id big and little end noise.
