Anyone got a local recommendation for a mechanic? - SV650.org

Mark_h · 12-06-12, 02:36 PM

Folks,

I'm looking to get my forks serviced. Has anyone used anybody locally (Fleet) who they would recommend?

I had my 650 done a few years ago by Inifinty (before they split) who made a right pigs ear of it and charged loads so looking to see if anyone has had any better experiences or is good at that sort of thing and interested in earning some beer money

If 30 miles is not too far then there is http://www.stevejordanmotorcycles.co.uk/

Never used them, but I hear they do .org discount

Sandhurst Motorcycles (Vulcan way) are good guys, they get a lot of bits from me at work and they have done my bike and my dads in the past. Worth giving them a call for a quote.

If you can head down the Basingstoke way then LB Motorcycles is decent. Self run business, good bloke and decent prices.

Or failing that Nick Robinson's on the A33 (Turgis Green) are decent.

I can recommend Steve Jordan too. They race/used to race sv's and know them inside out. Also, gives you an excuse to go ride around some of the roads there.

Massive plus 1 for Stewarts. I won't go anywhere else.
Steve jordans have a great reputation in racing circles but will prob' be more pricey.

Another +1 for Stewart - a thorough job at a sensible price and you get to learn "interesting" things at the same time, like street talk that makes my 15 year old daughter even more embarassed to be seen with me.
