Guest Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Is it worth the paper its written on and paying extra for your services to get it stamped?Discuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Its worth getting your service book stamped --> by a non-franchised, if your bike is still under warranty.Most of the time, warrantys cover items that manufacturers know will not break anyway.I think UK dealers are at the core of the problem - I reckon the Japs, for instance, are quite concerned about maintaining their reputation -- but the dealers are bothered about saving money & profits...

Guest Ninja-Bear Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Dealers are crap the bloody lot of them, most don't do what you pay for. I'd go to an independant specialist any day. They are normally ex-main dealer technicians and own their own workshop, so they do a good job as its their livelyhood at stake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ninja-Bear Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Yeh of course Edster, you do get a few good ones, but I'd only go to one if friends have had good experiences with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
