Can anyone here in merrie England recommend a dealer / mechanic for doing the valve clearances  .... ?
I'm in Sheffield but happy to travel for a good job, well done ?

My friend has been ringing round for quotes on a Gladius for months with some hilarious prices in amongst other places saying they don't do valve services.
In the end she's booked in with EW Motorcycles in Staveley. A friend used them for years on older bikes and swears by the bloke. Building looks derelict but he's apparently very good.

Wherever you have it done, I'd ask first if they've got shims in stock to suit (thickness and diameter) as even Suzuki dealers aren't stocking them and there's a lead time to order.
