Cant say I'm that fussed over them after ruining the hill for competition, but also Cloggsy who used to post on here, had a massive issue over a KTM.

Saying that, I dont reckon much of Tilstons either. The North East is crying out for a genuine dealer which could get anywhere near A1 Moto in York.

There is v. few dealers left in Newcastle area now. Personally M&S are ok if you needing parts and an factory approved service (i.e. ECU updates etc...).
But the next major service on mine, i'm going to try Kawasaki N'cle as the rates are ok and the mechanics are sound enough.

Hi all, I do the majority of my servicing myself but if i need a service with a stamp for the history i use WSB (westgate superbikes) on the hill, the lad who runs it came recommended and i've had no bother with them at all.

Obviously this wont help with an ecu upgrade but i doubt there is anywhere else local who could do it other than m&s as they own everything anyway lol

+1

I know they've dropped the Yamaha Franchise due to selling so few courtesy of the 25% price hikes
