Trustworthy Mechanic for KZ1000P in Los Angles Area???
02 Apr 2008 08:02
Hey Everyone,
I just bought a 1993 KZ1000P and wanted to have someone tune it up and give it a once over. The clutch is slipping and the starter seems to be going bad. Can anyone recommend someone in LA that's trustworthy enough not to rip off a novice? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Sean

Welcome to KZr Sean. 
Los Angeles is a pretty spread out city. Roughly where in L.A. are you located?
If you can get your bike out to Whittier, take it to Whittier Fun Center (14043 E. Whittier Blvd. / 562-945-3494 or 562-945-3495) and talk to Stan Udell (he's the service manager).
They've been working on Police bikes as long as I can remember (as far back as '84 when I worked there in the parts dept.), and are probably about the only Kawi dealership in So Calif that will touch the older KZ's.

Thanks for the help everyone. I'm picking up the bike tomorrow from riverside and hauling her back to Hollyweird.
Let you know how things turn out.

Get ahold of Ian with IMS in Van Nuys area. He is very reputable & reasonably priced. He has been working on bikes for 30 years. Took care of my KZ650 a few weeks ago. PM me if you want the number. Top notch.
