New mechanic

Hello all,

I just moved to the Macon/Warner Robins, GA area and I was wondering if anyone knows of a good GZ mechanic?

Re: New mechanic

I am not a "GZ Mechanic" Just a Mechanic I can work on just about anything. I can try to help you out if you are willing to try to fix it. I live in Eatonton, Ga just northeast of you. I have a 2003 GZ250 and have had to get it going from a farm yard so i know a little on the subject already.

Re: New mechanic

I have been turning wrenches on her, I am just concerned about the valves and she has oil on the bottom of the engine and the gear shift side. It doesn't leak oil when parked. The macon dealer has a new 2010 that I have inquired about; my bike is a '99 with 6900 miles on her; I bought her used and she was very neglected.

Re: New mechanic

what are you worried about it seems all to easy to set the valves on these bikes... maybe it just what i am comfortable v.s. what others are comfortable
I am gonna be doing my valves soon because i am nearing 5000 miles now and that is when I am gonna do them.

You don't know if you are comfortable or not, since you haven't done it yet. You might start that job and never finish it. Just sayin' :whistle:

That being said, I don't see why anyone with a reasonable amount of general skills with hand tools shouldn't be able to tackle it.
