Servicing - sydney dudes

[red_dave]

There's a few of us North West. ie Kellyville, Rouse Hill, Windsor, Richmond (Very good proximity to Old Road, Putty, Bell's)

The rest of us live in Sydney and have street lights and electricity, CONGESTION, RAPISTS, BREAKINS, NOWHERE TO RIDE AND SMOG etc...

I'd rather that than Buck toothed sister/cousins tryin' to mount ya leg at barn dances etc...

Just booked into Narellan Kawasaki next Sat for the service, Richard seemed like a dude, so hopefully bikes comes out well.

thanks for the advice again all.

Bad experiences with bike shops? well let's put it this way.... I'd rather burn my bike than take it anywhere near a bike shop... Ofcourse a 5 year TAFE course helps lol

Wanna service my bike for free Che?

i've always wanted to do a bike mech coarse, where'd you complete yours? what tafe?

I realise you didn't ask me directly, but for me it went like this... I looked at the bike, I looked at the tools my Dad had pilfered from the factory when it shut down, I looked at the bike again, said to myself "How hard can it be?" and started unbolting stuff.

Haven't had a rod come through the cases yet, and with the money I save in mech fees, I manage to keep a second bike on the road.

Ultimately, given how easy it is to do most mechanical work, how much advice and wisdom is available at boards like these, there's no excuse for leaving your servicing to a dealership workshop.

Its cool that you can do the work yourself, i can do minor works myself too, but i personally don't have the time or the tools, ie vacuum gauges a dyno machine etc etc etc to do mechanics work myself.

It also depends how festideous you are about your maintanance. I keep my ride in top nick, and prefer the piece of mind in having a trusted mech do my servicing regularly.

So saying 'theres no excuse for leaving your servicing to a dealership' is a pretty irrelavent comment.
