Any decent mechanics in Lancashire? - SV650.org

Sorry if this has been done before but I would like to get the valve clearances checked and sorted and I'm looking for someone who will do a decent job of it.
Any recommendations.
I live in Lytham
cheers

Ride over to Yorkie Chris in Leeds or, get a manual and some basic tools, they're dead easy to check yourself.

I have the manual and tools and used to do it all myself at one time. Nowadays the thing I lack is sadly the time to do these things hence the need to farm the job out. As I have never had to entrust any of my bikes to someone else in the past I am concerned to find someone who will do the job properly.
Cheers

Well - lots on here, including myself can vouch for Yorkie Chris, however the ride over to Leeds would probably take you the best part of an hour and a half. I'm sure someone can vouch for a solution more local. Good luck!
