Good KTM Garage in Perth needed.....
Hiya
I am currently in Kuala Lumpar with a sick KTM Adventure which has just done 30,000 ks overland from the UK. I have done my best ok! but it now has electical problems and keeps blowing fuses, overheats for no obvious reason and blows off the radiator hoses and has oil leaks from the top end that i cant seem to stop. Apart from that its a great bike that now needs some serious TLC from a proper KTM mechanic that has the right kit, is trustworthy, knows his stuff and can get the parts, so that i can continue my travels with a little confidence.
Any info on a good garage in Perth would very much appreciated by me and the bike!! I am gonna try to arrange for me and bike to be flown into Perth in the next week or so.
Many thanx....
Will

Hm, I replied to this topic earlier, but my post seems to have disappeared.
KTM's Australian operations are based in Perth, so you're heading to the right place.
There are two authorised KTM dealer/service agents in the Perth metropolitan area, one in Victoria Park (close to the city centre), the other in Joondalup (30 minutes north).
They are:
Motorcycle City
2/115 Albany Highway, Victoria Park WA 6100
Ph: +61 8 9355 0500 (just 93550500 within Perth)
www.motorcyclecity.com.au
and
North City Motorcycles
9 Franklin Lane, Joondalup WA 6027
Ph: +61 8 9300 2500 (just 93002500 within Perth)
Hope that helps. Perth is a great city and WA offers a lot of good riding.
