I'm in Pullman and I have a Katana 750 that I just got few months ago.
I know there is a Suzuki dealership in Clarkston that could sevice my bike, but I was wondering if you guys know other places that are less expensive.

Jimmy G's in moscow is fair. there was a discussion about it a while back. I guess it all depends on what you need done

malentendu arete · 01-16-2006, 11:53 PM

jimmy g's not too sure about that place...cordodor is good and ask any of us that live around pullman to give you a hand...unless its comp related stuff...i ahve got tools and space and so do a few other people...i work at tesoro here in town soooo feel free to stop by and ask

Rossi · 01-17-2006, 01:19 PM

First of all thanks to all of you

I just need to have a valve adustment, spark plug, fuel filter and an oil change.
I don't know what the previous owner did so I'm trying to do the basic stuff to the bike.
by the way, I don't know the location of Cordoor or Cordodor(they were spelled differently in two different messages.

Get the required tools and the manual for your bike and do it yourself.
It doesn't take too long after you've done it a few times, you will get just as good a job, if not better...and after only 2 services you will start saving money...for more gas so you can ride more...so you have to service it more...so you can save money...so you can ride more.....

Cordodor isn't a place, its a man...man! seriously though, he's a member of the forums.

I'm new to this website and I'm not familiar with the Pullman area very much.

thanks for the clarifacation

If you dont mind going to Clarkston for work, I strongly recommend Mac's Cycle. Good mechanics, and they have a good service manager too. He's gone to bat for me for warranty claims and have been good to me as well.

I called few motorcycle shops and they gave me estimates that were higher than Mac's Cycle and they told me they didn't even have experience with my Katana 750, but they were willing to work on it

I came to the conclustion tha Mac's Cycle is my best bet. I'm just gonna have them do the valve adjustment. the rest I might ask one the fellows to help with the oil change and spark plugs and fuel filter.

cordodor · 01-18-2006, 08:13 AM

i dont know anything about valve adjustments... I take my R6 to the Yamaha dealer in Moscow, but if I had a Katana, I'd go to clarkston... unless you want to do the work yourself and just need some space to do it.

Matt and Steven at Palouse Country can both do a good job. Bill Sugden at Macs has a ton of experience. I'd recomend any of them and would have any of them work on my bike.

e30kawi · 01-22-2006, 01:53 AM

I would say macs. The only place i have gone but they were fair and went out of their way. I was told one thing and another thing happened. Needless to say i sat there for 6 hours and i got the work done at 50% off. They didn't have to because it was a communication break down but they did it and that is why i plan on going back there.
