I have a Yamaha Dragstar 2003 400cc bike and i am looking for a good, reliable bike workshop in Sharjah. The bike registration is over and i need to fix a few things on it before i get it registered again in dubai.
Could someone help me out here?

Dont know if any are really reliable, but there are a bunch of workshops near the Cricket Stadium...same folks that also sell imported second hand bikes.
I would imagine you can get cheap service done around there...quality, can't really say.

Thanks for your help Root, have to say that you are indeed a very helpful guy, i mean i have been going through some previous threads and you actually take pleasure in replying to each one.
Good on you mate!!!
Honestly i have this great passion for bike but sadly very less knowledge on them. Its been more than a year that i have been riding the dragstar and its actually my first bikes. Now i feel i am ready to upgrade since i am a lot more confident and my instincts tell me that i should go higher but like all amateurs bikers i too am confused as which bike to go for. Personally i love Suzuki GSX series but honestly i have actually never liked the shape of any of the Honda bikes inspite of them being the best around.
How would you rate a Suzuki 750? I saw it at the Motor show and boy oh boy!!!
Could you also guide me as what services should i get done on the bike. I regularly get the oil changed when its due but apart from that nothing else, oh yes occasionally i add the Carburetor cleaner but i feel its just a waste of money. am i rite? Thanks for your help.

I hope you don't mind me answering this question
The GSX-R 750 is great! The Dragstar was a completely different bike though and I still recommend buying some cheap 600cc bike first and practicing for a month.
Give respect, get respect.

If you get a Honda or Yamaha, you dont really need to do much with the bike...these ones run anyway. Just fill in petrol
Well, it makes it good to keep an eye on the oil, carburetor, brakes, spark plugs...but you have to really ride your bike a lot before you see need to change those.

Good question! I have never looked at that. Normally bikes are cheap so you never need financing.
But if you are getting expensive bikes like HD or BMW, it makes sense and I am pretty sure they do. For financing you also need to get insurance, and not that many companies do insurance.
Will ask around and re-post again if I find anything.

@akibo,
i ride a 2007 CBR 600RR now...
@root,
the shop is in sharjah on double cola road before tuba shopping mart, right opp al capri and lacnor factory...
about financing, you can get a personal loan and get the bike financed, but there is no specific bike loan like ther r car loans...
