Recommended garages, Hampshire?
I have just bought an SV650S, 2004, 17500, £1447
clean and tidy all over and as far as I can tell very sound apart from two declared issues that seller was up front about.
It needs a new rear tire, rideable but marginally legal/illegal
Chain has too much travel midway between the sprockets but LOOKS clean and sound as do the sprockets but I am no expert, may have reached the limit of its adjustment
quoted £120ish for the tyre which seemed fine but £130 for sprockets and chain set from one dealer who said it might just need adjusting and £180 from another.
Both garages failed to inspire me (for different reasons)
One in particular (Mr £180) I felt was trying to scare me with stories of chains "snapping", does this happen, is it realistic?
Can anyone recommend a good garage in Hampshire?
This newbie would appreciate any recommendations and advice. I am not far from Aldershot.
I just want someone who will give me a fair deal.
cheers all
Grant
