    Since when has the fitting of new tyres been part of a bike service?

    They won't call me or reply my emails. I have heard of this about Cyclespot before. If it were me I would go and see Grant.

    The head mechanic there is a rude dude. I Had a crash assessment done there and was going to buy a bike off them. After a conversation with the mechanic I bought private. Utter twat.

    Out of interest whats the charge out rate for motorcycle mechanics?

    Trades I engage are in the 65-100 range with specialist ones over that.

    Quality is like most things variable.
    DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.

    It's not. But the OP asked for new tyres.

    $600 for new tyres fitted is cheap. I wonder what the tyres are?

    Mechanical is $1100. Honda service intervals for the valves tend to be 24,000 and change from a grand is tight. Plugs due at the same change - $75 each ? Iridium but that is bloody expensive ..... wait for the invoice I guess!

    Found this on Youtube ....... if he's doing it the right way what a pain in the arse!

    The $1700 does not include tyres, $600 is on top of it, I'm paying $2300 all together. Hopefully you are right about other stuff.

    $1700 is just for service, I'm paying extra $600 for the tyres

    Yep, that's definitely how I felt about him.

    It's Bridgestone.

    My I bought the bike, the front had no tread left, the rear was real old, They recommended to just replace both.

    $1700 for a full servicing... I'd expect it to include spark plugs and perhaps a 3 course dinner, movies and a massage.

    $600 for a set of good tyres is reasonably priced. Recently got Bridgestone S20 Evo and they were around that price range.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    How's your Bridgestone? Good grip? How about in the rain?
