i am quite happy with these blokes, each time i go they down tools and we end up having a half hour chat, they have even instructed me to do every second service myself to cut back on costs
Does it mean you can do mine?

Re: A question for the Sydney siders

[quote=dunno;91545]has anyone tried S&R Pro????


Hi Guys, I had my '97 Girl Dyno'd at S&R and for $180 I had Jamie, Snake and their wiz kid apprentice spent the better of a 1/2 day jetting it with 3x3 runs on the Dyno, I was really impressed with them, though that was a few years ago now.

I've had an array of problems with mechanics and dealers from a brake caliper bolt being left out, the wrong spark plugs being installed, brake fluid spilt on painted surfaces, I've even been charged for a set of pistons, piston rings, cam chain and adjuster on my old Yam XS650 that were never installed. So I now do all my own servicing, not really all that hard, just buy yourself a good service manual, mainly for the fluid and oil volumes. I do the oil, oil filter and I have a K&N air filter that I clean and re-oil every now and then. I do fork oil, brake fluid, the coolant, wheel bearings ect, as long as I don't have to pull the engine down, I should be alright but if I need something done that I cannot do myself I go to
Adam Turner at GT Motorcycles at Wentworth Falls behind the Caltex. He's honest and he knows bikes inside out and he's also a Honda Nut.

I would do all my own servicing and repairs (up until the most complicated engine repairs/rebuilds), but I've got 4 years warranty on my bird (worry-free till mid-2012 ) and need to get it serviced by licenced shops till then.

Only just moved to Sydney when I bought the bird and didn't realise it would be such a hassle to find a convenient and trustworthy shop!

welcome the club,there are trustworthy people but go for a small shop instead of big company like sydney city motorcycle,action motor.It's always good to support small businesses they have better quality service, public relation and we contribute to the australian economy
