hey guys, i'm still pretty much a complete newbie so sorry guys bare with me if u can :-\
i'm sort of a new resident of port jefferson, long island (around SUNY Stony Brook) and my monster needs a few things... i need my 6000 mile service including the important valve adjustment (but it would be great if i could get the whole bike looked over since i bought it used) AND i need an inspection... any places i can go and prices perhaps?
i know GLantern is around here *wink wink* if you're reading... thanks guys

I purchased my bike from a guy out in port jefferson 3 blocks from the LIRR. That place is boring as hell. sorry. [laugh]
There is Gold Coast, Formula 1 and Chronic. ive heard very good stuff about chronic and gold coast. If you dont have a truck, Gold coast is 5 blocks from the LIRR. And welcome to the board!
+1 Chronic. I got my new tires there when I got my bike and had them check the bike over because I didn`t trust the place I bought it from. (it is in LI but I won`t name names. It was supposed to be a very high end reputable shop.) Good guys over there. They will be doing my 12k service soon. I also believe that they will pick up your bike for you if need be.
I would totally say chronic is your best bet i intend on bringing my 1098 there as soon as i hit the 7500mile service. Speaking of which i should change my oil hmmm. I have heard nothing but amazing things about chronic. [thumbsup] If GC is around he would definitely be able to chime in on how great they are.
Actually found his link from TOB enjoy the write up

I would also say Chronic.
Goldcoast has been getting some decent reviews recently.
sweet i'm going to give chronic a call as soon as they open. anybody heard of super moto italia in st. james? apparently they're a ducati shop and they're really close to where i live. also how much should a complete service cost including valve adjustment? thanks guys for all the help and the warm welcome for a rookie like me :)
Good call on choosing Chronic man. They did alot of performance work to my monster as well as regular service and the work was always top notch. Their honest guys and very fair. I believe the 6k service will probably run btwn 6-8 bills.

+1 that is where I bought my bike. I thought it was a reputable shop but I got such a bad vibe from the owner. I guess because I wasn`t spending 35k on a Bimoto, they really didn`t want to deal w/ me.

Wish i saw this before I bought my bike.
I actually got a similar story about a retired cop owned it and he upgraded to an S2. I didn`t trust them after I picked it up, so when I got my new tires put on at Chronic I had them check it over for me to make sure the 6k service was done and everything was ok. I guess I got lucky.

I think the owner is a retired state trooper - whatever the case, the guy is a real class act.
My registration was done incorrectly (don't ask me HOW thats possible) and right now I'm trying to get 3 tickets cleared. My registration sticker expired (April 2008), however my registration document is valid (April 2009). Apparently he put the wrong sticker on my bike.
This wil be the last I post about this subject. I realized about two months after my purchase that I had no inspection sticker on my bike. I had waited about 3 weeks to pick it up because it needed to be inspected. I brought it back and he still had the nerve to charge me $8 for the sticker that he never put on ,that I paid for when I bought the bike. That was the last time I ever went back. I guess when it`s time to buy my DB5 I`ll have to travel a good distance to pick it up.
hit that chronic up
hey guys, got my baby back from chronic on saturday afternoon... (dropped off on tuesday evening... not bad [thumbsup]) and i gotta say they did an absolutely fantastic job on my 6k. it was a little pricier than i expected, but thumbs up Chronic and thanks everyone that suggested it to me... unfortunately today i rode an hour through a pretty heavy rainstorm so now i'm all paranoid about any damage i may have done to my perfectly serviced bike :P but i'm definitely happy with everything at chronic motorsports.
If you dont mind me asking about how much did it come out to? If you dont want to post it shoot me a pm. Just wondering since i expect to be nearing my 7500 service right before the super cold months

NYMMC is kinda large. Its the tristate area which is massive.
If we had NYCMC and IMC (Island Monster Club) it would probably work out better, but then again, it is NY. Most people like to be secluded. You see hundreds of monsters on the streets but in reality, only 1/10th of them are on this forum lol.
I sent my bike in with no exahust and they had the ducrep come by, and since my bike was checked on by Steve and Jay at ECS, he took their word for the loose guides. And then he hurried him on after he saw i had no exahust pipes lol. I need to core them right now and bring it to them. My heads get removed thursday and its 2.5 weeks + install time. GAYNESS! but they are being really cool about and trying to get it done asap.

I'll be hitting the roads until it dips to 40degrees, and with nature going the way it is, i have till ~ december 1st. [thumbsup] LEE PARKS in Maryland, and hopefully, i can sneak a 3 day weekend to the finger lakes sometime in October. I sold my bike last year right around the same time i turned my bike into the shop this year. Like hell im gonna lose another season!!!! [bang]
