DIY or Dealer?
 

Do you maintain you own bike(s) or do you take it to the shop?

I've always been a DIYer....

Either do it myself or have a friend help. A good friend worked at a dealership as a mechanic for most of his life.

So far its DIY. Hopefully by Tuesday I will have another bike that will eventually need maintenance at the shop.

There's no option for Leon doing my maint. :lol:

all my regular maintenance and small repairs are done at home, any large repairs (engine rebuild sorta thing) I would prolly leave to a dealer. But as a testament to my amazing abilities, the only thing I ever have done at the dealer is to have them change my tires for me.

all the regular stuff... unless I'm time pressed... which seems to be the case alot.

on the DRZ though... I'm doing all...

I've never taken a bike to a dealer...ever.

Dealer? :scratch: Oh! the boneheads you have to go to for a new bike!

Nope, I do my own work. If I had space for a NoMar, I'd do tires too.

There are only a select few shops I'd ever let touch my motorcycle (long distance trip emergencies excepted). One of the reasons I have a motorcycle is that I can work on ALL of it without too many specialty tools or the need for a "shop".
