Had A Good Service

12-03-2005, 02:02 PM

Hello UKMOC'rs :burnout:

Just a bit of info. I have just had my old M900 serviced at Bridge Motorcycles, Station Approach, Andover. tel:- 01264-354200.
The bike needed Cam belts, reshiming valves and bits.

They have done such a Good Job I have to give them a good word. The bike got well salted and crappy riding down there, but they gave it a good clean, general lub all over as well as the normal service stuff.

The bike runs great now for the Engine service. Plus it was bit cheaper than I expected, I didn't tell them that (best not shot your self in the foot!

)

I had called about before hand to see how much a service would cost. I spoke to a few tosser's at other dealers. Some saying the engine may need top end rebuild, valve guide repair+ due to the miles done, 24k. Or that it was bound to be crap as bad oil had been used. So I stayed well clear of those doom merchants with never ending service costs.

Now for this North wind to go and to get out and about.

Me and Banshee bought our bikes from Bridge's last Dec. I wonder what they'd charge for first service if it faverable mite be worth the 300 mile round trip.
