STR RS 12k Service - Where to go?

[Dave H]

Know these questions get asked periodically but would appreciate an up-to-date answer from the good people of BARF.

My 2018 Triumph Street Triple RS ‘Cerby’ (short for Cerberus… 3 cylinders…. three headed beast… I know, I know) needs it’s 12k mile service which includes checking/adjusting the valve clearances.

I’m based in SF and got the bike from Munroe Motors so my default position will be to take it there but I’m also considering Desmoto-Sport. Are there any other dealers that I should consider? Are there any dealers I should avoid? Happy to consider venturing out of SF if the recommendations warrant it. Thanks in advance!

P.S. I’m not comfortable doing this particular service myself so definitely want to take it to a professional.

Specialized in Triumph, honest dude, reasonable prices. I know three people ( myself included ) who bring their bikes there, no complaints whatsoever.

OP, look up Lucy at Dubbelju. 274 Shotwell St.

Thanks Chris. Looks like an interesting place. Will contact them for a chat tomorrow.

Thanks! Thought Dubbelju had closed but I've PM'd @ Lucytriple.

FWIW i decided the same (took it to evolution in San Jose) - was contemplating doing the service as well but to check the exhaust valves, the radiator has to come off which is a pain in the ass - was happy to have them do it - buzzzing at 17k now with no issues.

Thanks! Evolution seem to come up a lot in these recommendations.

I go to them with my Tuono. Did 12K service including valve check last October for me. No complaints.

Just closing this out as I've just got my bike back from it's service.

Shout out to @Lucytriple who did the work; I felt really well looked after, had plenty of time to discuss various bike related things, and, most importantly, the bike feels great. Thanks!
