I'm looking for someone to do a valve adjustments, fluid changes, recommended service intervals, new tires etc on my KTM 525. I love to ride but don't like to wrench. I'm limited on time, tools and expertise.

I would like to find someone in Austin (or in close proximity) who works out of their garage or has a small shop to avoid excessive labor rates. There's a whole list of stuff I need done and I'm happy to pay a reasonable price to someone who's experienced.

I've seen a few motorcycle repair ads on Craigslist but they tend to mostly be for Harleys and street bikes. I always trust a recommendation more anyway.

Feel free to PM me if you know of someone. Thanks!

Bill's great, especially if you live out towards Bastrop. If you're up North, Don Lackey is great and does a lot of four stroke work.

I ended up taking the bike to DLR Cycleworks. Don did a great job!

He has a nice shop, knows dirt bikes very well and I thought his labor rates were reasonable. He will be getting all my business moving forward.

Thanks for the recommendation!
