White's Bodyworks provides motorbike repairs and fault diagnosis from our workshop in West Sussex.
We work on a wide range of motorcycles, from everyday road bikes to specialist and older machines, dealing with mechanical faults, accident damage and problems that need proper investigation rather than routine servicing.
If your bike has developed a new noise, vibration, handling problem, electrical fault or simply does not feel right, we can inspect it, identify the cause and advise on the most sensible repair.
Motorcycle faults are not always caused by the most obvious component.
A brake problem, charging fault, cooling issue or unusual noise may have several possible causes, so our approach starts with diagnosis rather than replacing parts until the symptom disappears.
Typical repairs include:
Where the bike simply needs scheduled maintenance rather than fault diagnosis, see our motorcycle servicing and MOT service.
Changes in braking, steering or handling deserve attention quickly on a motorcycle.
Problems can develop gradually through wear or appear suddenly after an impact, pothole or period of storage.
We can investigate issues including:
If inspection suggests the motorcycle frame itself may be out of alignment, our dedicated motorcycle frame straightening service covers measurement and suitable corrective work.
Even a relatively low-speed drop can affect more than the visible fairing or paintwork.
Bars, levers, mounts, forks, brackets and other components may be bent or stressed, while alignment problems are not always obvious until the bike is measured or dismantled.
We can inspect accident-damaged motorcycles, identify what is repairable and advise when replacement is the safer or more economical option.
Where cosmetic work is required after the mechanical repair, we can also coordinate motorcycle paintwork and resprays.
Older motorcycles can present a different kind of repair challenge.
Previous modifications, ageing wiring, carburettors, older ignition systems and parts availability can all make diagnosis less straightforward than on a newer bike.
We can investigate suitable faults while taking account of the condition and history of the machine rather than treating it like a modern motorcycle.
If the bike has been stored for many years or needs wider mechanical and cosmetic work, our classic motorcycle restoration and recommissioning service may be a better fit.
