Service suggestions

[Lrigh1977]

Good evening all,

I recently brought a bike after years away from riding, a Triumph Tiger 800 2014.

I need to start thinking about the 12000miles service.

Has anyone any recommendations for mechanics in the Swindon / Wiltshire area?

Given the age I’m not precious about using a main dealer (to keep cost down) unless there’s a specific reason I should?

Many thanks

No help whatsoever as I don’t know your area but I’ve booked my 2015 Tiger 800 in to Youles in two weeks for exactly the same thing.

Thanks all,

£500 is the best quote I’ve had so far, I can just about add fuel &a or pressure so best not attempt any servicing myself

Cheers

Muddy Sump has started taking bookings again.......but you'd need to see when he is next in your area.

I was going to suggest Clive Wood too.....but he's in Lincolnshire.

Thanks Tango,

I’ve sent him an email

Cheers

Who is Muddy Sump?

The day after my little 125s first service the exhaust fell off so I decided not to go back there and went to a recommended guy down the back of the back of some shoddy looking units. He seemed like one of those quiet considered types who might do a proper job (Im told he does) blow me down he did the service for £53!! Bet that doesn’t happen with my next bike!

Forgot to take my book to get stamped though- doh!
