All the same as ur car service......take it to someone who u can trust and recommend.

FOr normal servicing i take mine to Gassit in fairfield and have been going there for about 4 years or so......no complaints....no bull shit......bike feels great and they do all the log book stuff......and good value for money

For other stuff that may affect warranty i go to Race Replica.....plenty of knowledge....good workmanship......and not bad value for money considering their tied to a brand.......They can take their time though

Dropped into Race Replica and High Octane, tyre pricing at RR was ~$50 more a set for DRCs (which they don't usually stock) than two other places I usually use, didn't get to see the workshop save through the back door as I was leaving on the bike. Front office staff seemed like decent guys, didn't get any list prices from them on servicing. Felt more like a bike sales place than a mechanic's cave.

High Octane was a totally different story. Parked my bike out the front and lit up a smoke (it was a fair distance from RR), bloke comes out and moves a car then walks up to the bike and we start chatting, turns out it's Con. Had a great discussion about the '11 ZX-10R, braided lines, race glass, and best of all he has set pricing for minor and major services, significantly lower than the place I've been using the last few years. Workshop seems really decent, dyno, benches and bikes everywhere, he brought me in to show me the lines he makes up on-site. Got a really good no BS feeling from Con.

I think I've found my new mechanic
