What do you mean by good?

If it's a "good" shop, will you bitch that the prices are expensive? Hahahaha.

There are many reputable shops around. Sunny cycles come to mind.

The difference between a good shop and a cheap shop sometimes isn't apparent until you see the work they put into it.

A good shop will be more careful mounting the tyres correctly and then spend the time to balance the wheels properly. Everything removed gets torqued back into spec with a torque wrench. The chain properly adjusted and alignment checked. Tyre pressures checked to make sure it's correct for you.

I've had experienced shops that didn't balance the tyre, didn't mount the tyre properly (some tyres have a marking which you need to align to the valve stem) and everything was tightened "by feel" and left me with 40psi instead of the 30psi I usually run. I would personally pay 100 extra for it to be done properly.

Sometimes if you want the job done properly, you just need to be prepared to pay a little more

I was watching this YouTube video of a guy changing his tyre for his RSX in Cheras, where the shop was recommended to him by Roka Roki.

The shop put in 40 psi for his tyres...

That's what happens with kapchai shops. Or shops that were kapchai shops or done by service techs that did kapchai previously.

A proper SBK shop will usually do things better....

Me bike noobs, after experiencing first tire change on my scooter, realized it's not a simple job like changing tire on a car.

Find a shop that has the right mindset to change your tire is important.

If you're nearby kajang/bangi area this place recommended. Price wise +- same with other kedai mentioned here. Replace Michelin Road 6 on CB650r and Pirelli Angel GT on SV650 here before.

Im one of few who cares about the smaller details that some shop put into their craft. Do you happen to know one or two? Im looking to change my tyres asap since a brother brought up how bald my front tryre was this noon.

Kinda shocked with how short supercorsas thread life is. 😅

If you have a big bike, go to the more established big bike shops like Sunny Cycle or Welly. They are usually more expensive but they know what they are doing.

Just bring your shop manual with the torque specs with you so they know you are serious in getting the job done properly.
