Default Servicing around Banbury area?

Banbury Motorcycle Centre of course, but is there anyone else locally to anyone's knowledge?

Thanks

Try this guy.

We get our tyres from him.

Quite a few peeps use him after Banbury Motorcycles went to the wall.

What guy?

Are Banbury M/C's still operating then? I only live just out of town, but haven't been in for a nose for a good couple of months...

He's hopeless, my old man!

He means this place

If you contact Mike, tell him you're from sv650.org

Cool, thanks.

Probably wanting to book mine in for a major service, as it's at about 22,000 miles now.

Is he right out of town, or within easy walking distance? Just thinking that I'll need to drop the bike off, but won't have anyway of coming back home without it!

That's the problem, Shipston is a tiny little village so not much to keep you entertained, but Mike will often collect and return bikes if you ask him.

He's come all the way to Rugby to collect and deliver ours, all included in the service price, which is at a very competitive price.

You'll need shims checking and your rear shock linkage stripped down and re-greased.

Collection would be awesome!

How much am I looking at for the major service then?

We had the 15,000 mile service done there last year.

This is the schedule.......all for under 190 quid

Ouch!

That's more than it costs for a Full service on my V6 Vectra!
Shows how long it's been since I last took a bike to a garage for servicing...
