Decent Motorcycle Service North Leeds Area
« on: June 15, 2015, 07:56:44 »
I used to take my Wee in for service to Eccleshill Motorcycles near Bradford but unfortunately it looks to have closed down.
Does anybody know if they have re-located or can anyone suggest a reliable service place North Leeds way?
Thanks

I had issues with Rose when she worked for Appleyards in Leeds in 2008/9 and have never used again... in short she said the spokes on my 125 needed tightening up as part of the MOT failure. I had her (or Appleyards)  tighten the spokes which duly snapped a week later at 40mph puncturing the tyre whilst the missus was on the back. 5 mins earlier we were doing 60mph. When I went back to the shop all I got was 'not our problem... your spokes were very rusty... we can collect the bike but it'll cost you £15...' needless to say I never used them since,  and Robin Appleyard was less than impressed with them when I told him in Keighley at a later date.

Hopefully this was a one off, but I won't use Rose which is a shame as near my house.

I had my bike MOT'd at Dyrons, but never serviced there and have bought a bike from Jackson Superbikes Yeadon, and he seemed decent, but again no servicing. Recently I've been traveling to York Suzuki for servicing and they seem good albeit a bit far (though excellent B-road from Wetherby to York)

Hi
Try MOTOFIX in Otley.
Very helpful.
