Re: Valve clearance service - pricing and where?
There's a really good garage near me in Wallasey called HondaTech, ask for Paul. Top bloke who will do a great job at a fair price.
Tell him Mike (Dave's son) sent you. If you decide to use him give me a shout and I'll get the kettle on. PS, Thanks SV650Racer for your help last week Last edited by flymo; 13-05-10 at 08:27 PM. |

Re: Valve clearance service - pricing and where?
I've just been into my local spanner man for the same reason. Told him it needed a major service including the valves checking. He said about £250 depending what needs adjusting. Booked it in for after my trip to France on the bike

By all means point out that it's a job that somebody with a modicum of mechanical knowledge, decent tools and a bit of spare time can do, but why should they have to justify it, if they want to give their hard earned to a garage or professional. Not everybody has the inclination/time/confidence to mess with their bikes. |

That didn't seem particularly aggressive for Tim, he's just a grumpy git

Before I became a dad I used to spend hours in the garage - I spent a year fully restoring a 350 ypvs so I'm not shy at getting my hands dirty. It's just that I rely on using the bike daily and the fact that I can drop it off at the garage in the morning and pick it up in the afternoon with everything sorted is worth paying the extra doller imo.
