Not the normal dealership

Am planning a road trip, touring in Greece, so I took the bike up to my local dealership in Izmir for a quick once over. I had pretty much nailed down what issues I was aware of, which is fork seals are going, and a very minor oil leak. They checked over everything, had the bike up on a stand for over an hour, and pretty much confirmed what I knew, adding nothing I had missed, which was the real point of the exercise. They also adjusted the brakes slightly, topped up fluids, and we agreed they would order in the fork seals for when I get back. And the best part.... When I asked how much this work cost, they said, "No, no money". Impressed.

So are you going to let them do the work?

Will I let them fit the fork seals? Depends. When I get home it may be over 100F in my workshop. If it is that hot I might just let them do it and go to the beach. One of the really good things about here is that the hourly charge for mechanic time is so little compared to Europe.

Absolutely!

Yeah, is a big job, one I've done before on a Triumph so I sort of know what I am doing. My thinking is the beach will be a lot more fun.
