Going To Be Making Some Cash Guys :)

[Motocrossguy17]

Hi so i had a thought other night iv been working on my own quads and bikes for the past 4-6 years and i do all my work myself including full rebuilds only thing i don't do is the barrel rebored or replated so i had a thought and put a ad up on a local site about fitting pistons etc and iv had a few texts about people wanting things done.

if your in the uk and need anything done to your engine let me know but seems to be going well so all is good

Its a great plan and I wish you luck! Coming from a guy who used to do this himself with lawn equipment, just remember to do good work and be honest. You'll eventually have more work than you can handle. Word of mouth is a great reference, and word travels fast! Also, don't be afraid to charge people a fair price for services rendered. I mean, you can still charge less than a pro shop and still make some good money.

Ive been debating on doing this down in york, let me know if you hear anyone down my end and ill be sure to let you know if I hear anyone needing anything up there!

I can get rebores for £25 and gasket sets for like like £20 delievered, so it would be like £150 for me to do a full top end rebuild and re bore down here including rebore, piston, gaskets and work

yeah man im thinking of making a facebook for mines but im not sure how to lol but i have said on ad that people can either supply parts or i can order them but they need to give me cash as not buying things for them not to want it lol but where you get rebores for £25? a thought that was more expensive lol but if you ever need anything done yourself man let me know but you will probably do it yourself anyway lol

also a little story my mums fiance is a QUALIFIED Mechanic Apparently. so it start i got a malaguti 50cc powerband bike as non runner needed put back together. it needing piston put on it as well as guy bought it brand new but never fitted it as his son lost interest and i got it for £40 anyway at that time i didn't know how to put piston rings on so my mums fiance done it and he used a screwdriver to do yes no lies a screwdriver!lol and it wouldn't start. he went away took the head of and the rings were broken. so i put it up for sale as needing the piston rings and i sold it for £100 but the one thing i learned was i was only 15 at the time and i was able to put piston rings in my yz i had back then and it started up first time. also learned never to let him near any of my bikes ! haha especially my blaster but il be doing the work to it anyway ever heard of someone putting rings in with a screwdriver lol
