Here we take a look at the all important “servicing standard” which can be the difference between your bike running worse than before you booked it in or running and feeling as good as it was the day it left the showroom floor.
We do not carry out conveyer belt servicing. In other words we do not book in as many bikes as possible and rush through them to get them done on time. I have worked at too many dealerships where this is common practice, and inevitably vital aspects of the service are ignored and believe me this does go on…
This poor level of practise was the main motivation for starting the Motorcycle Workshop. We are in total control of all aspects of the service, from talking you through your needs and requirements, to booking your motorcycle in at your convenience, to carrying out the service on your motorcycle, to debriefing you on what we found and what to look out for in the future. We also show you any old parts we have removed from your motorcycle.
When your motorcycle is booked in with us it is given a dedicated time slot in which to carry out all aspects of the service to our industry leading standards.
Most bike shops shy away from the technical aspects of the service as they are labour intensive and thus time consuming or they employ under qualified and inexperienced mechanics. The most commonly ignored aspect of the service is the vitally important valve clearance adjustment as most modern 4 stroke engines now run under bucket type shims, which means camshaft removal to replace the shim.
We provide you with your own copy of the suppliers sales invoice of any shims we have ordered to replace your old ones with. Something else you won’t have experienced at other bike shops, we can supply a short movie clip. This will indentify your motorcycle and will record any aspect of the service you require proof of. As they say the video never lies and this shows absolute proof that you get what you have paid us to do!
We cover every part of servicing the latest spec motorcycles with the necessary specialist equipment. This also includes the fuel injection throttle bodies that run via a pressurised fuel pump system which is now found safely within the fuel tank of nearly every modern motorcycle. This means without the correct equipment accurate balancing of the throttle bodies with the fuel tank in place is virtually impossible on some models.
