Help ! I need someone to restore my RM250 engine in Melbourne
« on: August 28, 2008, 05:54:13 pm »
Guys, I need to get my RM250T engine rebuilt and restored (cases painted, plating done, new seals, gaskets, rings, etc)
I actually had this booked in at a Melbourne Suzuki dealer but when I took the engine in today the service manager decided he didn't want to do the job.
I'm restoring the bike to correct / mint / factory spec.
Please shoot me an email if you can help

Kind regards
Kev

yeah, I had it booked in there, Mick said bring it down, when I got there the guy who served me basically told me to get lost and said they weren't interested in doing the job.
Anyways my problem is now who do I take it to that knows what they are doing ??

That is sad, seemed they knew their stuff for so many years! Write a letter to the dealer principal stating what went on . Stuff the prick that turned away a paying customer.  >:(
Andre is a wizard with Suzukis. ;)

Give the boys at  Powerhouse motorcycles a ring. They are located in Pakenham phone 59416400. Anthony is doing an old rm bottom end for me and is more than helpful and they are actively involved in VMX  and Viper

To be honest I'm not interested in starting any problems, just dissapointed that they weren't interested in doing the job, I'm still a customer of theirs.

The good news is the Mike (BigK) is gonna do the job for me.
Thanks for your help guys.
