Evening all.
As the 11k service doesn't include valve clearances, the engine doesn't have to be cold, so for those that traval quite a way it can be done on a while you wait basis.
I normally do the following; Oil & filter, check/replace spark plugs & airfilter, carburettor balance, brake calipers cleaned, brake fluid change, fork oil change, suspension linkage strip & grease, electrical check, nut & bolt check, & loads of general adjustments & tweaking. All for £100+VAT+ parts to forum members. You also get 10% minimum off all parts used.
As I believe that everyone should know a little about mechanics you will also get some 'hands on' as it's boring to just watch. Its a great way for those of you who are less competent mechanically, to learn more about your bikes

So, A. Your bike will feel much better afterwards.
B. You will learn a little.
C. You wont be too much poorer
D. You'll get dirty & enjoy it!!

Cheers.

Evening all.
No sweat new leaf, look foreward to hearing from you.

Sorry Streetfighter, ran my business for 12 years just to the south of Heathrow (& lived in the area for 42 EEEK). Nuff for anyone!!

Cheers.

From me to you, I'd pass Chester/Northwich area. Interesting.

You're also only a hop skip & jump from Sheffield, and on the M1 for going down south. More interesting.

I'll bear you in mind for tyres etc. £145 for the conti's you say, would that be front & back? I'm assuming ride in ride out with complimentary drink to org members?

Nice website you have there - tis a pity you are so far away as you would have my business

Two suggestions from me

a location map would be handy

and a photo of the proprietor.

Evening all.
Mogs, location map, blinking good idea!! Will attend to that next time I dabble with it....Photo of proprietor HMMMMMM!!! I reckon that would scare all you guys and gals away! Think ageing 40 something skinhead (army boots/jacket etc). With bloody good knowledge and toolkit, and you wont be far wrong

Apophes, give me a shout when you need to and we'll get you in.....I reckon it was a C50 with two flat tyres eh!!

Cheers.
