Tri-City Cycle in Waterloo -- Positive and Cheap!

I finally got around to taking the Vstrom for its valve check.

The maintenance schedule for valve checks is at 24000km, and I am at 48000... so I guess I killed two checks with one inspection.

Anyway, after checking the GTA, everyone quoted $500+ to do this check, so I was pretty close to settling in and doing it myself.

Then I heard about Tri-City Cycle from riders on Stromtrooper, so I emailed Randy and got a quote of $300 for a valve check, throttle body sync, rad flush, and plug change (with iridium plugs)... and they delivered. All that was done for $306 out the door.

My valves are within spec, and everything is good. It wasn't really out of the way for me as I needed to head towards Kitchener for a couple days anyway so pulling the bike there on the trailer was not an issue.

I purchased a new bike from Tri-City in January and it was a very positive experience. The shop still seems to operate like the old days with a promise and a hand shake and the deal is done with no issues.

+1 for tri city. positive experience

I like TC as well. Ian in their clothing & gear shop is top notch.
