    A friend is looking for a mechanic

    A friend and colleague of mine is looking to purchase a Yammaha 2 stroke (he said it was a 1975 build) but I dont recall what model. He is a little concerned about maintenance and getting the bike worked on and asked if I could find some recommendations. Anyone got any suggestions for him?
    cheers Zaffira.

    I've been to Steve's motorcycles before, perhaps give them a call.

    Ric at Motomax in Ozzy Park knows his 2T's! Like any bike shop in Perth tho, doesn't carry many spare 2T parts.

    best way for a machine like this is to learn to do it yourself , bar the machining and crank rebuilding but this can be farmed out. Otherwise you will pay big dollars for a dying art. That being said, it has taken ages to learn, research and get the right (yep there is plenty of wrong) advice. plus having the right tools helps a lot.

    There are two questions in life.
    1:Which way do I go
    2:Whats the lap record.
