LuckyL's Aprilia

Some of you will have followed the saga with LuckyL's bike not starting and us servicing the starter, and ridiculous prices for spares locally, etc.

Well, last week I loaded the bike on a trailer and took it to Aprilia Randburg. Chatted to the mechanic and workshop foreman, told them the trouble, and said, don't replace anything, just tell me whats wrong. I'll pay the hourly rate.

They called 3 hours later to say, "You can collect the bike"!
HUH? Ok, so I drove down there, and the bike is fixed. Turns out they removed the starter and fitted a spare one theyt had there. It worked. So they stripped mine, and checked it. reset the brushes (stretched the springs to ensure proper contact), replaced it and it's fixed.
Cost me ZAR399.00 and no hassle!
Excellent service and advise from the guys. Thanx
Needless to say LuckyL is sooooo stoked!!!!!
