motorcycle service advice

Post by ConeEater »

Ok guys,

Tyler has a bike now and he's wanting to get it serviced. Oil change, chain lube, brake fluid flush, etc.

He's got a Honda CBR 300R and wanting to know of any good trusted places that we could take it to and not get abused or charge a fortune.

Bike is in Powell when he's in school but we are in west knoxville.

Any advice as to who's the 'go to' place, is appreciated.

Is Friendsville too far a ride? https://www.powersports-pro.com/

Most folks I know with bikes do their own basic service. There should be plenty of how-to's on the web, along with the service manual. Tools shouldn't cost much.

Well he's in college and doesn't have the time to do the work and seeing as he's not had any experience working on anything... this isn't something his mom and dad want him trying out. lol

I'm pretty sure I can change the oil and filter myself, but I know zero about Bikes, so don't know what other things they need.

There's a guy down the street that has a couple bikes so I'll pick his brain about it. If he has the tools, maybe he and I can tackle it.

Brian,
I have owned bikes for over 30 years. Damn I'm old.
Give me a call with any questions.
