Spookzii Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Hi guys Only had my bike 6 months (bought with 9k on the clock) and already smashed my 24k dreaded service level. Been quoted £700 and that seems a little over the top from what i have heard. Anyone got any places i should try preferably warwickshire but will travel. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I cant help you with dealers or service locations. I am assuming that you are referring to kilometers? What is involved in the 24,000km service? the valves aren't scheduled for adjustment until 42,000km (26,600miles). I have had my valves checked/adjusted twice already at 44,000 miles and paid about what you were quoted for BOTH services. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brits are still on imperial miles like you colonials. It's us enlightened Europhiles that drive around in kilometres. CS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree went there from Norfolk for 24,000 mile service on S10 4 years ago and was a lot less than £700! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Years ago I bought my vstrom from Alf England. At the time their workshop was full of FJR's , being kitted out with all the police gear. My bike was bought with 7000 miles on it, and was like new. I'd recommend them as well for anyone around there. But this is still an old thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timo50 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Try Streetbike in Halesowen, I've always had good service there. Stealth Motorcycles in Redditch are a good independant dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have serious doubts they were ALL in tolerance, it's a big job and most techs don't want to do it right. Many prices to check/adjust here in the US can exceed $1000 for that job.

skipperT Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Tenere’s are MUCH more of a PIA vs the tracer engine. That engine is also more likely to be all in spec, vs the CP3 which is more likely to be out of spec. HTH, -Skip T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
