Default Recommended motorcycle workshop

My recommendation is for Spanner man aka Stewart.

Thought it was about time I wrote this as it's been around three weeks since i went for my GSXR's major service and I promised i would.

All i can say is he's a top bloke and knows his stuff when it comes to bikes. I took the gixxer in to have its valve clearances done, a sump plug thread insert, rear wheel bearings and a few other bits and bobs. Quality worksmanship all round.

I've since been back for a couple more visits and hes managed to find the cause of my engine cutting as well

One bad thing, now my bikes sorted i've found myself going even faster.....

I'll certainly be keeping my eyes open for more of his special forum prices. Nice one Stew.!

The engine was cutting out at high revs.

A vacuum tube to the fuel tap. It was getting loose whilst the engine was hot and sucking in air. Not something i would have spotted. I had a good idea it was fuel related but not knowing how the full system was linked i was stuck for ideas.
