Re: Garage in Trowbridge?
I think I will try Lightning, Pheonix have been a bit funny when I have been in there, saying they don't like servicing it because it is older than 6 years.
Re: Garage in Trowbridge?
Cant understand them saying that seeing as they done the valve shims on my TDM in early 2007
Re: Garage in Trowbridge?
They can get quite funny.
Didn't want to service the Bonnie (12k service on a 2003 bike)
Also didn't want to do any work on my wife's 1982 Honda CM250

Re: Garage in Trowbridge?
Just been to see Lightning, very friendly.
Going to take the oil pan off and then he is either going to drill it out, or get it spark eroded.
Max of about £50-60, should have bought the torque wrench!!
