New Aprilia owner looking for advice

[Hamel]

Hey all. I’ve added a ’00 Aprilia RSV-R to the stable.

Does anyone know if there’s an Aprilia guru in Chch? Initially I’d like to get the bike checked out and given a thorough once over by a mechanic.

I already deal with EMoto and will use them for stuff but Rennie (the mechanic) always seems busy so would appreciate knowing if there’s another really good Aprilia mechanic in town.

lastly is there a wrecker in NZ who specialises in second hand Aprilia parts (I might have a look at converting to a dual seat)

Thanks in advance.

Sorry mate, no idea from up here!...welcome to the site all the same. Good luck with the mechanic search, I've always admired the mighty Aprilia!

Rennie is busy because hes good.

if you find someone who isnt busy,itseither because hes rubbish or maybe doesnt know how to advertise his business properly.

BTW i am a mechanic,so im qualified to comment.

my advice-wait for the guy who is busy:doctor:

Hi mate ,cant advie on mechanics in your area.They are a very reliable and low maintenance bike,keep the battery fresh tho.AF1 racing (states) are a great source for bits and have good prices.Enjoy your bike
