Can anyone recommend a motorcycle service outlet or person in NZ who I could contact who is experienced in servicing old classic 2 stroke 60's & 70's Japanese motorcycle engines ie; strip down and rebuild crankshafts and do a quality engine reconditioning service?

And that was the very chap I was to mention.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Any motorcycle shop with mechanics that are actually motorcycle mechanics should be able to do two stroke cranks. If you're stuck for people down there, send it to us here in Welly. Mark Boyle and John Carney (our two top mechanics) are crank wizzes.

Problem is the youngster's experience is MX cranks. Clearly Mark etc are old hands at this marlaky.

Nah. A crank is a crank etc etc. Lil John can do multis easy as. He's a very skilled mec an ik.

Vertical vs Horizontal split. Locating pins, rings, oil shields queer oil feeds odd bearings. A 60s/70s multi is not an mx crank.

Was Jimmy taught by a guy that beat factory bikes with his 500's?
