Any place you can recommend?

[Kiran]

Hi, I just got my self a 125 nsr and was wondering if any one can tell me a good place in the watford area I could take it to get a service (cheap). Im new to this whole bike thing and really need to get to grips without being ripped

[WildGoose]

watford eh?

colin collins near the football ground in west watford, are nice people, and do the job they say they will

llyod cooper on queens road, are honda specialists, but a bit more formal in there, both will cost standard labour prices id imagine

thanks .. .. i Juts want to be able to find a place where they will do what they say rather than trying to rip me, I also wanted to know if Honda do a job, is the work guranteed ... the reason I ask is that I have a receipt for new fork seals on the bike dated october and the bikes only done 400 miles since and now one fork is weeping slighty.

If they do.. will they honour it at any Honda dealers ?

[WildGoose]

probly not any honda dealer, unless its stamped on the warranty book as work carried out

however, if you take it back to the place that did it, with receipt of work then they should fix it, id imagine, cant be certain

i know both llyod cooper and colin collins are reliable places

[WildGoose]

cool, bike I wish I could ride mine, I have not done the cbt yet, took mine out yesterday.. figured it can't be that hard, managed to get it in first and ride only need to learn to synchronise my handbrake with my foot brake - so i don't stall it

Don't want to do the cbt just yet wanna learn first... at least this way i don't waste my money... i have afriend who has the same bike as mine ... did his cbt twice and failed - has not ridden his bike for 2 months.. just sitting there tied to a fence.

[WildGoose]

mate, get out there are get your CBT done, you wont fail it

and then once its done you are free to go out as much as you like, most places redo the cbt for free if you fail anyway

so id say just go for it

Not difficult a CBt mate, but you could take your bike to an industrial estate or something to practise on a bit first that what i did just to get the hang of it ect.
