Eng-speak Motorbike mechanic in Zurich

Hi guys, does anyone know a good motorbike mechanic (english speaking) in Zurich?

I'm trying to get my SV650 with a new rear fork kit (new springs and oil) before my depart to Zurich but it seems to be impossible. Basically I need someone good and reliable that would install this kit and change the fork oil. Here in Venice they asked me about 100 euro for the job, I already bought the kit so that the mechanic should just buy the fork oil. The problem is that all the good mechanics that I know here are busy until June and that would make impossible to get my bike ready until then.

Also, the installation instructions are in italian (I can possibly translate them in english) and the kit is made by an italian company.

I was thinking to install it by myself but it seems hell complicated and I don't want to mess up with the suspensions.


Thanks for your help, as usual


Fabio

Try the guys at Ernes, not a Suzuki dealer but they do speak English and come highly recommended. www.ernes.ch

I recommend Ernst at www.toeffparadies.ch for his work on my bike but take your bigger wallet with you, the one with lots of chuffs in it. Compared to the UK it's extortionate.

Expect to pay in the region of 100 francs an hour at a garage.
