Question looking for a bike shop around exit 7 off the NJ turpike

Hey everybody! Long time no see!

I'm not so new in my area, but I've been off a bike for a while until last year. Now I'm trying to start off this year with a finely tuned machine, but don't know of any bike shops around where I live.

Anyone know anyone?

When you say "finely tuned" what are you referring to?

Do you need your bike custom mapped on a dyno, do you need the suspension serviced and/or revalved?

Given that location (exit 7) it's about an even 1.5 hour split from WCW up north and Markbilt down south.



Flip a coin and take your pick.

are you looking for a bike? or you already have one and needs some tlc (i.e, oil change, coolant change, spark plugs, etc etc)?

Thanks all.

I have a CBR, rode it last year, but now it's time for oil change, coolant change, and perhaps tweak the suspension (though may not be necessary).

Monmouth Cycles, is still an hour from me.

There are a couple of places closer to me, but don't know how respectable they are... anyone know or heard about:
East Coast Powersports in Princeton
Hamilton Yamaha in Trenton

both of those are about 20 mins from me

Is it a no-no to take a CBR to a Yamaha shop?

Can you not do the oil change and coolant change yourself? Then take a ride to WCW, Monmouth, or Irocrob on this board here, Markbuilt or MetricMike in PA. It's far yes but service and reputation bar none are the best we know of in the state.

on doing it yourself. easier to change oil and coolant on a bike than on a car.

I have pretty much everything I need to do it myself, but I get home around 7:30 every night, and it's not quite warm out yet for me to take it on around that time. My weekends have been busy for a while. I figured my best bet to ride sooner than later was to just get it done by someone else. Thanks all for the feedback.
