Guest Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Not sure if this should go in "Pitstop" but anyway...Anybody who lives in London know a good Mechanic... I live in NW2 so nearest there would be good i.e. not near bromley....Thanks Quote
Adam Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Fozzie is in the London area maybe he could help. Is it something to do with your bike, if so maybe we could help? Quote
Tango Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 PM Fozzie mate.....he'll know of a mechanic....or, if it's a problem with the Aprilia RS125 he knows them inside out....so he may be able to help..... Quote
Guest Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Came off a few weeks ago with little damage, and want to take it to a mechanic! Thank guys I shall do! Quote
Stu Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 is it not something you can learn to do yourself with the help of members on here ? Quote
Adam Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Tell us what's wrong and we'll help you fix it yourself, that way you'll learn how to do maintenance and repairs yourself saving you £££'s worth of mechanic fees. Quote
megawatt Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 If you want to do a lot of jobs at once and you have all day, I don't mind driving up and doing em with you. At your cost of course! Quote
Guest Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Thanks guys! Reason I want to get it to a mechanic is because there maybe things I haven't identified (problems)... My rear brake lever is bent... right indicator a bit smashed, grip ends "sanded" down, same with front brake lever, and right side fairing scratched...So basically I can't ask for help on something I don't know.... like it would just sometime tick in the engine when going downhill "no acceleration" ... which I don't think I can ask help for really...

megawatt Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Up to you mate, if you like giving money away you can give it to me, I can fix most things. If you go to a "mechanic" he will empty your wallet, with a smile Quote
Adam Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Try bending the brake lever back, it shouldn't be too difficult. If you can't do it just order a new one, the same with your front brake lever. Replace the indicator. Bar ends shouldn't be a problem as long as they won't injure someone if they caught themselves on it. The fairing you can't really do much about other than rubbing it down and respraying. eBay will be your best bet for parts, just get second hand ones. I don't really know much about engines but I'm sure someone that does will be able to help. Did you send Fozzie a message? He knows those bikes inside out and has rebuilt engines on them. Quote
Fozzie Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 PM sentI'm less than half an hour away, sounds like little drop.I know what goes wrong when you drop these (most notably the engine all too easily picks up transmission issues from drops on these)Keep your wallet in your pocket, my work is free Quote
