Service Description

Classic motorcycle tune up and roadworthiness check over In this morning class, you and up to three others will be checking over your classic bikes under the watchful eye of Hodgetech who will help and guide you through it. In the company of like-minded enthusiasts. We’ll start with the electrical system, checking things like contact breaker (points) condition and setting the appropriate gap, checking spark plugs, and a general heath check of the system. Then we’ll look at the engine and drive train. Oil levels, leaks, lubrication, and chain tension. We’ll look at checking and setting the valve clearance (if it’s possible without shims. If not, we can make a list of what you need after measuring). We’ll also have a look at the fuel system. Check the taps, lines, and filters, and then have a balance of the carbs. Then we’ll go through the suspension looking at fork condition and swinging arm bushes (if appropriate). We’ll check tyre condition, wheel condition, spokes, have a look at the brake operation, and check for any signs of leakages. Once we’re done you can be confident of happy motorcycling for the next season, or have a (hopefully) short list of jobs to do. All done mainly by you, so you get the satisfaction of doing it yourself and the knowledge to do it again in the future.
