What shops or mechanics can you recommend that is good at working on carbs? My motorcycle is annoyingly shutting off and has a horrible irregular idling, even when its hot it shuts off at stop lights if I don't manually rev it up a little. I live at Jane/Finch area. And please tell me how much $$$ Im expecting to shell out. Its a 10 year old Kawasaki sport-tourer.

pm frekeyguy. has good reviews here if you want to take a look
 
Hes fairly busy, best to PM him early
 
Carbs are anto-mechanics 101. I`ve never met a bike mechanic that can`t handle any carb problem you can throw at him.

My main concern is what if my bike needs a part? Will he be able to take care of that himself or do I have to lose a day of work trying to get that and bringing it to him? I would prefer a bike shop that I just leave my bike there and they will take care of ordering parts to their garage. Any bike shop recommendations around the GTA or even better, around Woodbridge/Vaughan?

Perhaps that is good for the wrong reasons.
Being busy is a good sign. Lots of happy customers. Including return customers.
Fiaz will get back to you.

He may not have seen your PM here. I found he responds within hours if you send him a message on his facebook page - motomechto

Seriously, you'll be glad you took your bike to him. He goes out of his way to make sure you're satisfied.

You're not going to DIY & post a writeup?
 
95% of all carb work can be done with a pillow, a hammer, a flat and cross screwdriver while drinking a six pack of Labatt Blue and preparing for your next traffic court case.
 
Hard both carbs from my sisters and brother in laws boat rebuilt at Carburetor Rebuilders Inc in Oshawa (they used to be in Toronto, but it's home-based now) and I am super pleased with the results - this boat had issues with both engines loading up, stuttering under acelleration, and stalling (often during the most inopportune times such as tight space docking) and after the rebuild both engines are purring like kittens.

Wasn't super cheap, but good work isn't cheap, and cheap work isn't good.

Too bad Rocket Cycle closed down, he was right by you.

Try Auto Guyz on Finch between Keele and Dufferin. They have a bike mechanic there and the owners ride.
I only had a tire change done there. But they are set up to work on bikes and it's close to you.
