right could i take my bike somewhere *ie shop or garage* and say have a look and fiddle with my bike and tell me everything thats wrong with it
as i dont think its running right and stuff also i got it threw its MOT without any 1 actually looking at the bike *dodgy i know*
and if there is places that will look at my bike how much about will they charge for looking at it
its an rs 125 as i presume bigger bikes will be more expensive

cheers

if your deffinantly going to get the work done thats needed at the garage, or even some work done then it should be free for an estimate. might be different to the one i go to. why not just ring around and ask best way to find out.

I think you basically want a full service, which should cover most things that could leave it running badly. Anything else would probably be noticed by any decent mechanic.

Couldn't tell you how much a full service would cost but expect a couple of hundred quid depending on what actually needs replacing/adjusting.

I got a full service on my CG when I bought it for £42.

It ran loads better.

My bike garage is a decent chap and he has done stuff for me for free (when having other work done). in a matter of fact way, "ohh when I was taking your sprocket off I noticed your rears were getting stuck, so I sorted em for you".

Did the same for me when I got the bike and it needed an urgent tyre change, he gave it a good once over, charged me nowt for that only for the tyre.

To be honest I think small independant bike mechanics are decent people, not like the car mechanic scum (don't get me started) Mr. Green

IS £25 pound an hour a going charge for a bike mechanic?

I think the best thing you could do is to get another MOT done (properly this time). It'll only be 15 quid and should check over your bike thoroughly.
