Hi all! Just a little note that I'm booked out for the next couple of weeks and I need to get my head down on a bunch of jobs. Not taking any new bookings for repairs just until I get the deck cleared again.
I will still be available for mobile rwcs by appointment.

Been a busy few weeks. My scanning services were required in a couple of occasions last week. Honda pioneer with a slipping clutch couldn't do a clutch relearn. Turns out that was because there was a trouble code present. After cleaning and using the tool to initiate a clutch relearn the slipping was solved - for now. Also checked out this polaris 570 for running problems. All codes were unrelated and after a fuel pressure test, it's getting a new fuel pump.

Hi all, just need to advise all my customers that due to turnover the last tax period I'm required now to register for GST which I have done today. If I already have your machine, I will eat the cost as I've likely already quoted you and it won't affect you.
However moving forward, I will have to add GST to all my bills.
I thought long and hard about trying to eat the cost and keep my rate the same, but I can only see my business getting buried if I do so. I will always endeavour to keep my pricing fair and I'm always willing to work with you where I can regarding scope of works etc.

As always, thanks to all my customers for keeping me in the business!

Honestly can't get enough of my new ultrasonic cleaner. How's the results on this JR80 carb. Gotta do a bank of 4 from an old 750 on Friday and I'm so much more at peace knowing the results are gonna be peak! I've got a set of vacuum balancers too, I can kick it old school ;)

Been an informative couple of weeks with jury duty and all. Apologies to those who've been waiting for me brake tester to come back to get rwcs sorted. I'm back in action with it now.
Anyways... here's a beautiful Victory that wasn't shifting anywhere past first gear. Obviously that's scary for the customer who thought perhaps we might need to go inside the gearbox. Fortunately it was just seized heim joints on the selector linkages. Once I cleaned and greased them up we gave it a service and brake fluid change and its ready to rock again!

Hi beautiful people. Just a little heads up that starting on the 15th of June I have been summoned for Jury Duty, for 1 week.

I could have made something up about being busy or too put out by it, but I believe in civic duty so therefore I'll be unavailable for repairs during this time. I will likely keep my carry over work plodding along after hours, but I'm going to give my full mind to the task at hand.

This also corresponds to the due date for recalibration of my brake tester so I will also be unavailable for rwcs. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Here's a picture of a beautiful cb900f i rwc'd this week.

Really enjoyed sorting out Jeremiah's yzf for him. Came needing fork seals, front pads and valves looked at. Inlets were on the bottom end of "in spec" so I repositioned 1 intake shim into a better spot, and replaced it with the right size for the other side to put the clearances squarely in the middle of factory settings. Jerry keeps his oils fresh and the air filter spotless, so the internals and intake looked very clean and healthy.

These forks have an inner and outer chamber and we're fairly sure over 60 hours were on them. So I didn't only replace the seals and refill the outer chamber, but replaced the cartridge oil also. Fork oil works really hard, getting smashed through tiny orifices as it dampens the action of the springs. It's worth refreshing while you're in there. The difference in feel was immediately noticeable.

I noticed very quickly upon raising the front end that the head bearings felt terrible. Fortunately, my mate Danny had them in town and we got the headset replaced and thoroughly greased.

Also did you know most manufacturers recommend replacing brake fluid every 2 years? It's quick and easy so we know that's up to date now.

Turned out the starting and rough idle issue was related to a poorly adjusted idle. Love a simple fix!

Shout out to all of my customers. A small business is nothing, zero, zilch without their customers. And today I got such moving feedback on my local community page I couldn't help but share it. Thanks to all my customers for sticking with me and for giving such a nice response on the local page. Zac Alford 🙏

I'm now the proud owner of a comprehensive motorcycle scan tool, taking my diagnostics up a notch. This polaris had idling dramas, which we were able to narrow down to a poorly adjusted tps and throttle body clean. Yes, I can diagnose these with a multimeter, have done for the last couple of years... but this made viewing live data a breeze :)

This fmx bike got an upgrade, having a GPI steering damper fitted. A necessary mod if you have any plans to let go of the bars while flying 75ft through the air, perhaps upside down. Gives me nostalgia, in my early 20s I used to do "no hander landers" on pretty decent sized jumps, letting go of the bars all the way until well after I'd landed.
