Motorcycle repairs in Waalwijk

What can you come to us for?

• Oil leaks: leaking gaskets, seals and hoses. See also motorcycle leaking oil.
• Brakes: pads, discs, brake fluid and calipers. See also brakes squealing or spongy.
• Chain, sprockets and drive: see chain and sprocket replacement.
• Electrical problems and faults: see diagnostics and fault finding.
• Starting and running problems: a motorcycle that starts badly, hesitates or stalls. See motorcycle won't start.
• Forks that leak or sag: see fork seals.
• Tyres: punctures, damage or replacement: see motorcycle tyres.
• Damage after a drop: levers, footrests, mirrors and fairing parts. See crash damage repair.

Why do we look for the cause first?

A complaint doesn't always have the cause you expect. A motorcycle that hesitates can have a blocked carburettor, but also a weak battery or a loose connector. That is why we first find out where the problem really is, before any parts are replaced. You pay for the solution, not for trial and error. See also hesitation, warning light and our guide motorcycle maintenance: what and when.

When should you stop riding?

Not every complaint is immediately dangerous, but some are. If you see oil on your tyre or brake disc, the brake suddenly feels spongy or your motorcycle pulls to one side when braking, stop riding. The same goes for a chain that jumps over the sprockets or a tyre with a bulge or crack. Message us a photo or video: we tell you honestly whether you can still ride to us or whether your motorcycle is better transported. When in doubt, always choose safe.

Repair or replace?

At the dealer, parts are often replaced straight away at full price. We first check whether a part can be repaired, whether a good used part will do, and what you really need. We discuss the options and the costs with you in advance, so you decide.

How do we work?

• You message us what you notice, with your make, model and year. A photo or video often helps a lot.
• We schedule an appointment. We work by appointment. Message us on WhatsApp to book.
• We find the cause: we look, measure and read out your motorcycle if needed.
• We discuss the options and the cost. We only start after you agree.
• We repair and test, and tell you what we did when you collect your motorcycle.

Which makes can you bring to us?

We repair motorcycles of all makes: from Japanese and European naked motorcycles and sports motorcycles to touring motorcycles and older motorcycles with carburettors. See a few examples on recent work.

What don't we do?

We don't do paintwork or bodywork, such as repairing paint, removing dents from the tank or straightening a frame. We only work on motorcycles, not on scooters or mopeds. If something is needed that we don't do, we tell you honestly in advance.

What does a repair cost?

Labour costs €75 per hour, incl. VAT. We charge parts at list price, used parts by agreement. For a few jobs you know the price up front: fork seals from €350 and tyre fitting €50 per tyre (tyre not included), both incl. VAT. Chain and sprockets go on quotation. Extra work always after consultation. See also our prices.

Will I know up front what it will be?

Yes. We first find out what is going on and then discuss the options with you. We never do extra work without consulting you.

Can I still ride with a leaking motorcycle?

That depends on what is leaking. Oil on your brakes or tyre is dangerous: stop riding and message us. Not sure? Send us a photo and we'll think along.

Do you do paintwork or bodywork?

No. We replace and repair parts, but we don't do paintwork, tank dent removal or frame straightening ourselves. If that is needed, we tell you honestly in advance.

How do I book?

We work by appointment. Message us on WhatsApp to book. Tell us what you notice and send a photo or video if you can.
