Sorry to hear about the terrible experience. They also anyhow whack my yoshi until the end part distorted, I tot servicing will be good because LcBear has no complaint about it. Thanks for sharing the experience here, I think I will no longer patronise the shop again.

Can try go back to KS and tell the boss (sitting behind the desk) that his stuff gave you the wrong part and ask for refund if not try exchange for spark plugs or oil filter.

 

I did my fork oil seal change and fork oil change at "Seng Motor Hung" Universal's workshop at Alexandra. Good service and workmanship, $20 per fork, I bring my own fork oil and seal. Or you can try planet motor, very good comment from many forumer. , price wise I'm not sure.

[Lcbear350]

aiyoh, maybe he see ppl one. i apologise for the lousy info given. mine had no problems when they do it. if like that, dun go to that place anymore.

The fork oil seal only $8 per fork(KS), Putoline medium fork oil $7 (LAB), plus $20 workmanship per fork (Seng Motor Hung)

 

All in all $35 per fork, 2 forks only $70.

 

The other time I spent $98 for fork servicing becasue I change dust cover and metal clips too. I guess the price which the other guys quote is without dust cover and metal clip change.

not sure if there is a simpler way. But the way tht crossed by mind is to put a mini circuit with IC chip(N gate)which is lights up the led when circuit is broken(head light off) not sure if the led can make blinking one or not.
