Depends on what your riding and where you get it done. Most places quoted me about £60 to service my 50, but then i was also quoted £120 from another place :shock: That probably wont be much help for you as i expect larger bikes cost more to service.

do it yourself and it'll probably only cost £20. If you have a manual then anyone with a little bit of common sense could do a service on a 125.
so it turns out.........sometime i do give a f*ck

Yes, don't fall into the trap which I did and think that because they are doing it, they are going to make your engine as good as new.

Nothing wrong with the engine. Fuel tap problem.

torre motorcycles are pretty busy but always used to be really good. dunno how much they charge an hour though. Where in torquay are you? could have a quick look at it some time if you want? theres not much to a fuel tap to go wrong really

John T in newton is very good. Recomend him to anyone. Been in the trade all his life (took on farthers buisness) and I dont think he's ever ripped anyone off.

He's got a small workshop by the B&Q roundabout, right next to the road that heads to the new asda.
