Servicing Work & Hands-on Motorcycle Servicing Courses
Welcome to the Service School. The intention is to give you a day or more of servicing tuition – teaching new skills and building on the experience you already have, to give you the confidence to tackle new jobs in the future. After an enjoyable and useful session, you’ll ride away on your newly serviced bike.
​I'll guide you through servicing your bike so that you leave with a day of hands-on experience. I’ll demonstrate each procedure and offer advice as necessary, but the key point is that you service your own bike.
​As a starting point I offer the following three courses…
​​
-
Basic service – workshops skills, MOT checklist, brakes, oil, oil filter, final drive.
-
Advanced service – as above plus… valve clearances & timing, oil & filter, air filter, & spark plugs.
-
Suspension – shock linkage, fork oil & head bearings.
​​… but most jobs vary from this – taking out the work you are happy to do yourself and adding different work to the list. Please get in touch to discuss other jobs. Recent work has included cylinder head and whole engine swaps, gearbox replacement & complete restorations.
If you would rather not work on your own bike, I am happy for you to leave it with me, and I will service it for you. An increasing number of customers are booking multi-day jobs, staying for a day or two of tuition, and then collecting their bikes a week later once the work is complete
​
In the workshop, the conversation will inevitably run off in many different directions and we will discuss all manner of servicing work. The most important thing is for you to enjoy and benefit from the day. All courses are now 1:1 so it is easy to include extra topics raised during the day.
​
The basic and suspension courses run over one day each, ride in & ride out, and the advanced service takes 2 days. At the end of the first day I will drive you to your B&B on Anglesey and collect you the following morning to finish the job. For 2024 workshop time is charged at £23.50/hr plus consumables at cost.
​
We are now taking bookings for all three courses at our workshop on Anglesey – please get in touch to discuss dates that suit you or to discuss a custom course tailored to your needs.
