Servicing in the Midlands

Hi folks

My Ninja is losing oil and coolant and I suspect that the head gasket is leaking - when I had the fairng off there was a lot of leaked oil around the top end. I'm looking for a trustworthy dealership/independent to look at it for me. I live in Leamington Spa and work in Northampton so anywhere in that area would be good,

Hi Drew, possibly Rad may be a good bloke to try in N'pton. Where abouts is it you work? You don't ride a red ninja do you?

Mick berril is worth a try on henry street in Northampton, not as cheap as some but very good and quick too.

Full rebuild of my ktm forks with all new seals,oil bushings ect was just over 120 quid but I had them back on my bike in 3 days.

IMO Berrils is shat. Happy to turn small business away.

3 days is that not a long while mate?

Trevor Beford and sons is another good one...

He was ok with me but then I have had cr@p service in other places round here too.

Most people were saying it would take at least a week to sort the forks out, so 3 days was great.

I get all my MOT and tyres done at Bull Ring Garage, Harbury. The chap who runs it is called Steve Munson, rides a GSXR round the Nurburgring regularly etc, and he is totally genuine and careful guy. It's mainly a car garage but he does work on bikes. Try a call on 01926 612275
