Title: Servicing in Manchester?
Post by: ChrisB on April 11, 2015, 04:27:36 PM
Any recommendations for getting my 2009 GTR serviced in or around Gtr Manchester. Last service was a small one which I let my local non franchised bike workshop do. I ended up fitting the air filter myself after one of his ham fisted spanner monkeys snapped the plastic lug which the fairing screws locate into. He never mentioned it and I spotted later that the screw was stuck in with some silicon adhesive to make it appear in place. Thanks, Chris. Oh and I will need a back tyre as well.

for the tyre I can recommend Williams in Hyde , its a car tyre place mainly but the guy who owns it is a biker and has the bike tyre changer and a very good electronic balancer, call in , order the tyre with him and then arrange to have it fitted. He is well used to being careful with the TPS within the tyre but I still remind him everytime and watch him do it.

as for service, I know several bike places but don't trust any off them !

A mate of mine who lives in Aspull just outside Wigan, he's been servicing kawasaki's for years, and knows kwaks inside out, I rate him that highly that I ride from home in Norwich to his and back so he can service my bike.

Send me a personal message if you want his number
