Default MECHANIC NEEDED!

My buddy's bike is facked!

2002 R6, needs plugs and ignition coil change. Someone please recommend a trustworthy mechanic in the Chicago area. Ideally he'd like to stay away from dealerships.

Buy plugs and ignition coils and swap them yourself. Not too hard at all to do.

I know it's not hard, but we don't have a socket set to remove the old ones. He has no intentions of buying a set. As well, it's not my bike. I'm here on vacation and to ride, no labour for me! I've already gone out of my way on this issue. I think he'd rather pay someone to do this than do it himself.

If anyone wants to ride tomorrow, pm me! I'm in the south loop

The bike is located in Chicago, so I guess I could've been more specific on location as this room covers a few states.

My bad.

In Chicago, IL - South Loop.

soooo, he's willing to pay someone else $200-$300 to do this, but he doesnt want to spend $25 on a few tools to do the work himself??
