    Good (honest) Dealer - Mechanic - Newmarket Area?

    Hello,

    Recently purchased a new Kawasaki Vaquero and I'll get looking for service (1st oil etc) in the near future. Wanting to find an honest dealer with good mechanic. Ideally in or around the Newmarket area. .
    Has anyone heard good/bad things about Edge Performance in Bradford?

    Suggestions welcome....

    If you have a garage, it's a good idea to learn to do basic things like oil change, chain lube, brake pads change, etc yourself. Just get a service manual for your bike.

    I went to Edge once and it was great. Others i talked to had no issues. Suzuki of Newmarket is expensive!

    I do my own work otherwise.

    If you value both your sanity and your bike, you will avoid SoN at all costs.

    There is Z1 in Thornhill that is both reputable and has received rave reviews on this board.

    Thanks, I phoned them up the other day and didn't seem to bad for 1st service. ($150ish).

    After the 1st, I'll probably do most of the oil changes etc at home. But it's always nice having a backup plan in place.....
