Default Dealer Faith restored

After the shoddy treatment I have receievd from previous dealer located in Wolverhampton ,decided to go back to Motorcycle Mart Kidderminster for 7.5 k service .
What a difference , picked bike up and everything is spot on , the loaner was a old cb500 twin , which turned out to be ace at getting through rush hour traffic .
Only slightly dodgy ground was that I was told that I had chain tension slightly too tight , and they has loosened it slightly as I was a big bloke need to keep off the pies :

Really fancy a go on a naked sv1000 / speed triple / hornet 900 ,always used to ride bikes will no fairing & really enjoyed it .

Cheers Steve

Hey Steve,

I've got my 7.5k service coming up soon. Was going to get it done at a Suzuki dealer, stamps look pretty in the book. I was wondering how much you paid and what got done?

Cheers,

Neil

Default re

7.5 k service

Replace plugs
Oil & Filter
Throttle Valve sync
Usual thottle / clutch check etc
Steering Head tightness & general bolt tightness checked etc
Noticed brakes has been cleaned & copper slipped

Cost 0.00 as part of the 2 years free servicing I got when I bought my new K5

Cheers Steve

I bought OEM Suzuki lowers for my 650S K1 from Motorcyclemart of Kidderminster who fitted them free of charge - took the technician the best part of 3 hrs to get them lined up spot on. Need I say more - I know where I'm going next to get my SV sorted !
The staff are genuinnly (tricky one to spell) interested in YOU as if you are their only customer. A rare treat these days. Very impressed with M/C Mart.
