Workshop

The workshop handles routine service, diagnostics and pre-route inspections. We work on the machines people actually ride here, which means commuters and working bikes as readily as touring machines. Workshop and rider recovery are opening soon. Nothing is bookable or dispatchable yet. The forms on this page are demonstrations that transmit nothing.

CL 06

Preparing a motorcycle for a workshop visit

Doing these five things before you arrive shortens the job and makes the estimate more accurate.

  • Write the symptomWhen it happens, at what speed, hot or cold, and what changes it. Not your diagnosis.
  • Bring the historyWhat was done last, by whom, and how long ago in kilometres.
  • Empty the luggageAnything you need that day, take with you. Anything you do not, leave at home.
  • FuelEnough to run and road test, not a full tank, which makes some jobs harder.
  • Say the budgetThe number you want to be called at before work continues.

Why the symptom matters more than the diagnosis

A rider who says the bike is misfiring has already narrowed the search, often in the wrong direction. A rider who says it loses power above four thousand revolutions when the engine is hot, and only in the rain, has handed the workshop most of the answer.

Write it down before you set off. By the time you arrive you will have stopped noticing the detail that matters.

  • How we quoteLabour by time, parts at cost plus a stated margin. You are called before the estimate is exceeded.
  • PartsWe will fit parts you supply, and we will tell you plainly if we think they are the wrong ones.
  • DiagnosisIf we cannot find a fault we say so and charge for the time, not for a guess fitted as a repair.
  • RecordsEvery job leaves with a written record of what was measured, not just what was replaced.
  • WaitingShort jobs can be waited for. Anything over two hours is better dropped off.
  • Test ridingWe road test after any brake, tyre, chain or suspension work, and we tell you if we did not.

Tell us the machine and the symptom and we can usually say on the enquiry whether it is a morning job, a day job, or something we would refer out.
