Wonderful motor

Yes, I support this statement. If you have a problem with the scooter but don't know why it is so, he is the one you can rely on to investigate and fix it.

Black is my mind when a new day has come

Black are the tears when I cry

Come here and take my hand, join this misery

The fallen angel set us free

 

 

pardon my ignorance... but has this thread in anyway triggered your poetic side?

[h_LoNg]

Well if you compare with some shops that makes you go down a few rounds yet still cant solve the problems and blame on anything except themselves, Botak price is reasonable.

[nudgedoink]

do u know how much botak will roughly charge labour for underseat lighting issue? like if no extra parts needed and not much time taken up how much will he roughly charge for labour? more than $20?

[mhk21]

Erm, best if you call him. He has never charged me for labour, and I'm considered a new customer. =)

if it's small small stuff, he usually do it out of goodwill...

yea! i just went down to him today and he got my lighting prob fixed. he blew a fuse in the process, and replace it for me f.o.c. he also used his own wires and at the end of it I asked him how much i was to pay for labour, he just shook his head.

 

thumbs up for botak!

 

but i wonder normal servicing, how is his pricing for e.o etc?

[guidemage]

Botak EO at $23, oil filter $15. Not sure what brand but should be the best for your scoot. He uses only the best stuff.

 

For full service is $280 and he dismantles the clutch completely, wash with petrol, lub every spring, nut, etc before assembling back. After service you will have no clutch slip at all. 10 years don't need to change clutch!

 

If you service elsewhere will be much cheaper ($200 including EO change) but your clutch will start rusting and drop out slowly. I saw a st200 with rusty clutch, riding like a horse, galloping (clutch slipping) on the road before.

[bebear]

2 thumbs up for Botak!

[binjohar]

anyone knows what engine oil botak use??

[parotae]

After reading this thread i realize that we (those that complaint that servicing is more expensive than other shop or friend's shop) have fail to realize at the point of time that quality is more important than the price being charged. We should seriously consider like hmmm... it's slighty more expensive than XXX shop, but is it worth it? There's no way of knowing until something happens. Even if it happens one must not immediately blame the shop that you last visit. It could be the quality of the bike itself. That is why we forumer come here to find a reliable and honest shop to be recommended. Expectation of customer is different, you cannot please every one. We are guilty of complaining expensive because we cannot see the quality behind it. If botak is that good as recommeneded by so many forumers here i will gladly go there to service my bike with the peace of mind that my bike is getting the best treatment even though he might charge more or slightly more, either way we must have the right mind set that we ought to pay what is good. But i guess that's human nature to everything want the best but cheap cheap cheap. If you think hard about it, how can!? Want YOUNG want CHEAP want breast BIG BIG!!! How can be so good! So good everybody want, only you no chance. Good Quality usually not cheap, but cheap quality sure no good. SO i suggest that unless you know its a lousy bike service shop, don't be a cheapo.

thk bro for the contact. Went down to look for botak to do a full service for my st200... Woah...he charge $280 for full service which i feel its quite on the highside... I ask my frd who do his servicing at other place, they charge around $200.. No doubt his service is gd =/

 

Anyone can share where they do their full service and how much?

 

So this is a good lesson to you, don't listen to those forumers here about botak being so good. Because you judge his quality/workmanship by the price he charged, and it just so happens to be higher than XXX bike shop. I suggest you go to your friend's shop next time.

Given the benefit of doubt, you may be happy with the quality/workmanship but are unhappy about the price being charged and are here to confirmed that you are not cheated. The forumers here has reassure you that you are getting the real deal. The price you paid is justified.

Remember to appreciate a good mechanic especially if you don't even know one or a good one. I have heard and witness mechanic with the bo chup attitude like this not my bike what, wrong wait for it to come back lor or do wrong never mind lah, owner don't know wan or do so good also like that, customer see cheap cheap cheap where got see mechanic, do wrong complaint do good also complaint do so good for what?
