Reputable mechanics

Hey guys, i've had a 250 Bandit for about a year now but I'm still not sure of the best place to service Suzuki's. Mine started making a clicking noise around the gearbox right after I had the chain replaced about 6 months ago (it didn't feel overtightened) and didn't want to risk anything going wrong while travelling. I couldn't afford to have it looked at until after I got back from holiday recently. I know jack about bikes and reasonable prices for fixing them. I'm in South Auckland but don't mind transporting my bike further if it's worth it. I really miss riding more than I thought I would, so any and all advice would be appreciated to get my beast back on the road.

Thanks.

Try loosening the chain abit and if its still clicking than its not the chain..
Red Baron know their shit, the harley shop + workshop in newmarket are gurus.

Have had my bike serviced by a few places around AK. Have always had something fairly major (in a bad way) happen except at Red Baron. It has been there twice. Freind had the works done there on his VTR1000 and was happy and he has riden heaps and ownd tons of bikes in the UK.

Rob at Holeshot in Barry's Point Road! He is absolutely the best ever!

He's pretty busy right now, but you might find all the bike mechanics are busy as the weather warms up and the seasonal riders tune up their beasts.

There is only one... Motorcycle Surgery behind Motomail on College Hill. The name says it all. The guy (Ian) loves your bike more than you do and he is very reasonably priced.

You won't regret it.
