NEPA motorcycle riders: Best shop?

**CarolinaGuy** · August 6th, 2009, 04:58 PM

I bought a new (to me) ninja yesterday, and it has some slight issues needing fixed.

Where is the best/cheapest shop? Two jacks? War Horse? RidersWorld? Private individual?

Anyone with any experience in this realm GREATLY appreciated.

Buy a service manual and 99% can be done yourself. Isn`t there a place down off 380 below 84 that does rice? Daleville??

I'm definitely going to work at the dyi thing, it's just for now I have to get this thing inspected pronto and it needs things out of my league...

Once I get it legal, then I will have more time to start swapping out parts and such...

NONE THEY ALL SUCK

A dealership wanted $180 IN LABOR to change TWO TIRES. That did NOT INCLUDE the tires.

All told a dealership (Suzuki in Frackville) wanted over $500 for two tires.

I got the tires for $135 of the net DELIVERED.
Paid $50 for 4 tubes off the net, DELIVERED
Bought a HF balancer - $40

So, for $230 I have new rubber and can maintain the bike myself. Seeing that a bike will eat a rear tire a year that $200+ (in dealership dollars) I save.

Get online, find so some forums specific to your bike and start learning.
