Just Curious.


I do everything from S.B.'s to mods. The dealer has never touched my quads.

Who else would I take it to. I'm not driving 3 1/2 hours for the dealer to change my oil, and then probably do it wrong. I wouldn't trust my dealer to put gas in my quad.

I work at a dealer parttime the best bet is if you can doit yourself do it.Just make sure you dont end up bringing a box of parts into a dealer

I do everything myself so far, and it only takes me twice as long as it should!

Well considering I run my own buisness (Neighbor Dave's Performance Shop) it wouldn't look too good if I let other people work on my rides. I do everything except for boring out cylinders and cranks.
