Servicing

Hi after my recent front brake problems today I've decided to book my Speedfight 100 in for a service, As I've only recently aquired it and the pads were nearly down to the metal I'd feel more confident getting a garage to give the whole bike a once over once I know it's all fine I can continue to do the minor mantanace like brakes, oil change, tyres etc...

I was just wondering as I've never had the pleasure Laughing

of paying for a bike service before...

1. If I brought parts myself (Brake Pads front and back) would they be alright using them, I know some places are funny where as they want to buy the stuff themself (and if a cars anything to go on most of them don't have an eye for a bargin )
2. What would I be expecting to pay for a basic service on a 100cc scooter

usually around 50 to 100 quid inc parts (if it's just the basic, air filter, oil, spark plug and checkover) at least thats how much they charge around here. To be honest if it's not under warranty you better do those yourself, it's not as hard as people think, i would only pay if you really need the service history.

Regards.

most the time they make money on charging you extra for the parts, they usually count on getting them cheeper than you, thus making a profit when they charge you usual price. its,like adding a cut without you knowing.
