Mechanic; Boston...

I own a 2004 Ninja 250 and I live in downtown Boston.

Can anyone recommend a decent local mechanic preferably close to a t-stop?

Thanks!

what type of work do you need done?

A lot of us can help with little things (chain work, oil and filter, fork flush, bleeding the brakes, and so fourth).

Union Sq. Somerville? Riverside http://www.riversidemoto.com/ they are a Kawi dealer.

thanks for your reply. My bike is currently at Riverside getting carbs cleaned and new rear brake pads. I was interested in seeing if there is an less expensive smaller shop out there.

Next time I need to get something done on my bike I will definately reach out to the group here. Thanks

thanks for your reply and this is great to know! I brought my bike into Riverside last week as the carbs were leaking gas and was told I need new brake pads. I considered taking a shot at doing this work myself (at least the brakes) but was afraid to get into a project over my head and have a partially disassembled bike on the streets of Boston. Next time my bike needs work I will definately reach out to the community here! Thanks again

no bike should ever need rear brake pads. the original ones from the bike should be a lifetime supply

Check the Yelp reviews (for Boston...) I saw some very positive ones for shop work (versus dealer work) earlier today. Lots of bus coverage in this area.
