Excellent service!

Bike in parts

Tool

Can you imagine a better way to arrive in Ålesund, than to be invited into a fully equipped wok shop?  This, and no less, what met ua as we limped into town with a leaking slave cylinder and DOT-4 on the slipping clutch.

After Kristiansund and Bud, and after the magnificent Atlanterhavsveien.  I recommend a ride across Atlanterhavsveien.

Without reservation!

But today’s’ hero is AMS Motorsykkelsenteret in Ålesund.  I called them and told my store about having to fill DOT-4 in the clutch reservoir all the time, and the slipping clutch.  The chief mechanic said that he had no vacant slot for me.  But if I could work on the bike myself, he would be happy to let me work in his shop.

Think about that!  Notice that the bike is on a lift.  Standard setup in a professional shop.

If you ever come to Ålesund with a BMW, a Yamaha or a HD and you are in need, you should ride to AMS.

I am also happy to tell you that with a cut-off 4mm hex-key you can replace the clutch slave cylinder without removing the swing arm.

A helping hand

As I was starting to work on the bike a fine gentleman walked in.  He had seen that I would be there that day, and offered to help.  I would not have gotten that last pesky clutch-line back on without him.  Thank you very much!

We have spent the evening with the family of (yet) another Internet friend.  Details to follow.
