Just wanted to provide some feedback regarding both dealers.

I went to both dealers to obtain a quote on a number of OEM parts for a restoration project. All will be revealed soon

Bike Biz @ Parra's pricing on parts was 20% more than what the other dealer charged for RRP and would not provide a discount for KSRC members, stating they do not make enough money on OEM parts according to whom I dealt with.

I'd understand if no discount would be provided on a small order; but it was not, the price of parts was in the vicinity of $1K+. If I didn't know better the guy thought a I must have had sucker stamped on my forehead.

Flywheels provided the 10% discount off RRP at the I mention of KSRC, they were a little slow in getting back to me & required a nudge in regards to parts; but they did provide what I asked for.

Ordinarily I don't like dealing with any dealers (previous experience with a car ended up in Consumer and Tenancy Tribunal, which I won!) cause more often than not they're carnts.

So for me + 1 for flywheels and - 1 for Bike Biz @ Granville.

I will mentioned that Bikebiz @ Parra has provided 10% discount on accessories to me in the past as a KSRC member. However I am led to believe they are a different identity/shop to Granville. Pity they don't sell OEM parts for our bikes, there service is a lot better than granville.

yea i got my bike serviced @ bike biz granville in jan before taking it there there was no scratches what so ever after getting it serviced tiny scratches on the seat cowl, right side fairing (well it doesn't matter now after the latest incident), it seemed like it was dropped on its side for a split second a tiny pin head size patch was missing from one of the decal stickers and the rubber nipple under the footpeg a chuck was missing from there, also the right side handle bar and brake lever were scratched at the tip, and lastley he told me he took it round the block 3-4 times i checked the odometer he put on 37 kms from when i dropped it of like wtf? i didnt want to make a big deal of it but now that i think of it i should have but oh well wont be going there anytime soon, ive been refereed to someone on the forum who's goes by the name glen?, by hibster on the krsc ride so will look at going to him when i reach the 6000 km mark

Sig..tell em hoffy sent ya..

Don't go to bikebiz, unless you want 4000 bucks worth of damage to your pride and joy due to careless forkliftery.

Re the referral to Glenn, he's a goodun and will be careful with your bike.

Alas I want yet another dyno so this time it might be flywheels. 3rd time is a charm. See what an 8 year old ZX10 can do.

will do, when the time comes also i should add that ive been to bike biz parra, their alright but they don't deal kawis. that alone a -1 on its on but the guys there will go out of their way to help you out, gave me info on some of the other bikes that compete with kawis 250cc market without being biased.

The guys at flywheels are the only ones I goto! Nothing but awesome service, always honest, discount applied on everything, and do little things free of charge.
Will not let anyone else touch it. My bike is by no means priceless but it is to me. They know me by name cannot speak highly of them.

Are Flywheels no longer a Kawasaski dealership?....

Still team green and still a great sponsor IMO

I wouldn't go near bikbiz, they are over priced on everything.

Yep... Glen at Allfixed at Castle Hill is the man to go to. PH: 9634 1455.

If you need a Kwaka Dealer, Flywheels in the East and Kelen Kawasaki at Penrith in the West. Both offer discounts to ksrc.

Goneski! They still have the service workshop but no more dealership

Despite the same name bikebiz granville & parramatta are independent of each other, different owners.

They are brothers ;)PS they came from NZ and the one i met was a true top bloke.

yeah i've met them both but had more to do with the kwaka dealership one obviously. Both had a lot of time to have a chat and were friendly and still go in every now and then to see the salesmen and have a chat with them, and i bought a bike off them at the end of 08
