    Can you recommend a bike workshop in NELSON or Wellington or Palmy for ST service?



    Before I head back in to the boon docks, thought I'd get the ST serviced, its due. The 24,000 km service includes valves and plugs. I've got the impression the local Honda Dealer is an offroad/marine specialist. I'm really after someone who will be gentle with the ST, ie removal and replacement of bodywork etc etc. Any tips?

    Or else I could get it serviced on he way home somewhere, eg Welington, Palmy ...........Cheers in advance.

    PM me if you'd prefer.

    Had a good chuckle watching the vid this morning. Good on you. Wifey says you're a brave man.

    I'm not very helpful in the get your bike serviced on the way home department though.

    Thread hijack over.

    3 Dealers in Palmerston North all Service High spec Hondas and have got good reputations. Freedom (used to be Freedom Honda, probably best bet) City Honda (New franchise dealer used to be Pahiatua) and ANZA. ANZA pretty flat out doing harleys etc.
