Wemoto

[KLR600]

*Hope I don't get spam ratings*

I just thought I'd post about my unexpected good service from wemoto this week as I bet a few people will be thinking about ordering some new bits for their bikes for the summer around now. I ordered some sprockets and brake pads from them yesterday morning (3rd) as they were the cheapest about (with the most options for sprockets sizes to boot) and paid £3 postage and I was expecting them sometime next week. So imagine my surprise when they turned up this morning with a free keyring and a free copy of a motorbikers digest! Very cool IMO because it means I can fix up my bike on sunday now instead of struggling for time in the week!

Just thought I'd post this as people are usually quick to complain but often never pass on stories of good service

P.S. I don't work for them or anything and I'm not on comission!

I'd agree since Sickpup is strangely absent (either he is annoyed at me or too busy couriering or both) I've been buying quite a few bits from Wemoto.

Always been good service, very helpful on the phone as well. I have a collection of those key rings now, they must have had a million of the damn things made

[carvell]

Yeah, I've had the same good service. I've got a massive pile of keyrings!

Another thumbs up for Wemoto here too!

Always were quick and helpful!

[Charlie]

Always been great help but...

the front break leaver they sent was built correctly (i.e. the bit of metal which turned the break sensor on/off wasn't the right size) and then my Dad bought a indicator flasher unit which also didn't work.

Service has been great though, posted nice and quickly.

good service, but the pattern parts are shite.
Bought a mudguard and a mirror from there for my bike.
Mudguard doesn't fit (they said it would)
The mirror is useless, its rusting badly and the lens is so much more blurry then the official one.

Anyone who thinks consumable items for 400s are difficult to get hold of should shop with Wemoto.

Always provide an outstanding service, no matter what bike I've had. Just down the road from my work too, save even more on the postage prices (which are usually next day anyway).

[cypher]

yes Wemoto have been good to me too, sadly the last bunch of things I ordered ended up being largely useless since my lil' Suzuki Estilete was stolen so the brake lever, exhaust gasket and brake shoes were of little use to me

I use one of their keyrings for my main bike key. Sturdy thing indeed, even survived an attempted tarmac eating when I had my 2nd accident. Its damaged (but not totalled), and serves as a reminder about what happened and stuff

Nearly went for a job there once (I.T related), but I would have had to leave the West Midlands and go and live away from home which I didnt really like the idea of doing

I ordered a brake light switch and with in 2 days it was here, I'd gotten one elsewhere the day before, not opened the package yet.
They give keyrings? *finds jiffy bag*

His ebay shop is in a few people's sigs... Alternatively, here's the link:

https://stores.ebay.co.uk/Motorcycle-service-parts
He's available for quotes, prices, special orders etc via there.
To be honest, I think he's a little fed up with people on here asking for quotes etc, then buying from wemoto anyhow... Even when he has spent ages working out how to give them a cheaper price.
He's also been looking into getting a web site away from ebay in order to be able to keep prices cheap, this should be up and running soon.

And for all those that asked... He's fine... I'm sure he'll recover from spending 11 days over christmas with me soon enough

FAO Itchy: So go..... *shrugs*

Don't know if he's even been on BCF lately, and asking for quotes etc in Live chat while he's here for the week.... I believe he said to you about waiting until he got home? And 2-3 weeks is a bit of an over-exaggeration, it was over christmas, right?
Anyhow, I'm also pretty certain he told you that all the parts you needed were in stock in his ebay shop. (?)

Perhaps you should try decaf tommorow.

And to Lozzy I have , I didn't exactly kick up a massive fuss about it, I didn't bad mouth anybody (seriously) did I ? and infact my comments reflected some of what others thought too.

I'm a firm believer in name n shame did I do this?, nope not really I went elsewhere.

I seem to believe it is you guys who are kicking up such a fuss about this.

Hmm lets see....

Dec 15th I attempt to remove my CBR600 swing arm, I need a castle bolt thing and vent on live chat for to G who advises me to go to Halfords and get a cheapo grinder , realising I've mushed up my bearings using my special tool a large hammer which was the title of the PM, if you'd read it, which I thought you might appreciate the joke.

I waited and waited checking my outbox till about Dec 24th, thought sack this and went to go see Russ, who sold me the swingarm pivot ones , and I recycled the suspension ones.

I make my own castle bolt and put me bearings in easy as pie that job..

Its mostly fixed, come New years eve or something like that , I ask him for a battery and clamps and oh cush drive rubbers which you say something like

"you should have noticed a big clunk when you applied the brakes"

And

"its a bit hard to quote you a price when my [something] books are 160ish miles away"

I PM Tuesday lunch, a PM titled Battery + diagnosis , which was a bit of a joke also in that I had a (toy) gun against the head lamp of the NTV, and wanted battery , cush drive rubbers , though this was edited to add a CBR stainless system after.

Bendy did a

"you snooze you lose"

on me for her CBR600 (Micron) stainless system, since your £190 October 2007 quote minutes after my disagreement with the road was ok not the cheapest but best let somebody sorta I know make a few quid off me than a total stranger.


And Paypal? ,

A wise man once said to me,

"times change"

This was in response to

Linky

Paying into your bank is just curtesy , I used to be a bit of a fixer till places like Hamleys started encroaching on my market , check out my post of 2006 when Kawashima said hi when I sold stuff I used to be rinsed of 12% fees from my online credit card acceptance company, I had thoughts on selling imported Japanese stuff again.

I still have a few items in stock , Perfect grade evangelions, Patlabor robots , various unbuilt Gundams etc have you ever been to Battersea? there is a large shop there, I've never actually set foot in there but did a small amount of trade with him

Going to the bank isn't a problem since I get sent out on audit and get paid for the miles I do.

Linky

I've no idea what paypal charges in fees but from comments on the forum I assumed it was alot considering I DO know that banks will charge about 25p per a deposit on biz accounts and on my old experience of being rinsed 12% better 25p is better than £30!.

Up to yesterday at the bike show I was still recommending you when me Gman and Stiffler passed a bike parts stall when we passed those magnetic pickup things which double up as a baton.

Regards

Wemoto is good but i think they're expensive for certain things. A lot of the honda bits i've bought are just Honda parts with a mark up.

However, when i've used them they've been pretty quick with the delivery.
