Seasonal motorcycle service — oil, filters, brake fluid, coolant, spark plugs, chain and a full safety check. Half to a full day depending on the bike. All makes, with a stamped service book for newer machines.

A bike sits still half the year, and that's hard on brake fluid, chain and tyres. Brake fluid absorbs moisture and needs changing every two years — otherwise you can lose pressure when you need it most.

We diagnose everything from ignition and injection to electronics and gearbox. We run CAN bus diagnostics on modern machines, and we have the tools and torque wrenches to put it back together properly. A written price on what we can see up front.

Motorcycles last if they're used — standing still is what kills them. Stuck throttles, seized callipers and dry rubber hoses show up after winter. Bring it in straight away if something feels stiff, don't wait out the season.

We change and balance motorcycle tyres — touring, sport and off-road. New or used, fitted on the rim while you wait if we have the slot. We also check age and rubber condition before fitting.

Motorcycle tyres typically have shorter lives than you'd think — 8,000-15,000 km for touring, much less for sport. Old rubber hardens even if the tread is there, and cornering grip goes first. Replace after 5-6 years regardless of tread depth.
