would you not be better getting the bike inot a dealer/ garage for them to do a check? i know it may be expensive but you have a lot more come back to a garage than getting a "mate" to check and see if it feels like it runs ok or not, IMO obviously

Shirlaws Aberdeen are the local Suzuki garage, but...
Braeking point, breakers but they were ok to do a service on my bike, only to realise they don't have the tools to check (or adjust) the SV valves after a while. Other than that, you could ring Ecosse motorcycles, they are Honda/Yamaha but have numerous bikes, might be worth a call. Don't know these ones: or http://www.yell.com/s/motorcycle+rep...tonehaven.html And there's rumours about a new service centre opening in the arches on south college street, but that's a few weeks away. |

hi thanks for that , iv tryed a place in ellon , waiting for him to get back to me , found that most places around aberdeen , ie shirlaws , are well over the odds with price , , just thought some one may have a basic understanding of thesv and could show me a few things to do , iv looked into college macanics but not a thing here , thanks any way for all your advise

nice one.
at least you have references for work he has done so hopefully he is going to be good for you.
