Hi!

Long time lurker (almost) first time poster ;)

Passed my DAS test last year, and pretty much immediately got myself a 2001 SV650S in sexy black, and loving every second!

Unfortunately, that time has come when she needs an MoT test, and just ticked over 15k miles, so I suppose I better get her serviced as well. I'm based in Guildford, and wondering if anyone here has any recommendations on somewhere decent that'll do the servicing and MoT :)

Thanks, and hope to meet some of you on a ride out one day!

Jon

Hi

I've used FCL (http://www.fclmotorcycles.co.uk/howtofind.htm) in Cranleigh for tyres and MOT and always had a good experience. Not tried them for servicing, though.

Make sure you're legal for MOT - pipes & plate.

I normally use Normandy motorcycles for my MOTs as they can be quite lenient with slight legal infringements ;-)

I use the one across the road from your gaff DD, Swiftest. Never had a problem with them.

KK had her car MOTd there and they seemed ok, I'll probably still go over to normandy M/Cs as they're a nice friendly bunch, have let me repair a couple of things whilst there so that it doesn't fail and have even fixed bits themselves so that it wouldn't fail

Hey welcome to the forum and this section! excellent choice of bike and colour ;)

I use Hart Motorcycle Services in Fleet, they do it pretty quick and cheap as anywhere. They also look over any exhaust you may have.
