I rode the Graham File tuned BM Groundworks TZ Yamaha's in 2007 and part of 2008. During that time, we won a British Championship 250 race, a European Championship 250 race (and also sinished 4th in the European Championship final standings). We also qualified for the 250 British Grand Prix two years running and finished 17th in the Grand Prix in 2007. Not bad eh for bikes prepped in a shed in Hythe!! Seriously, Graham's a very capable man. His work is more than capable of winning any 250 race in this country. The rest of it. Well, thats down to you. Sincere thanks and good luck Graham.


I first met graham in 2003 after i bought a 1996 TZ250 from Neil Ronketti as Graham had looked after this bike for some time I thought it would be best to stay with him, this turned out to be a wise decision and in the middle of 2003 I bought a 2000 RS250, I used it a couple of times and wasn't happy with the performance, I decided to give the engine to Graham to rebuild it and put it together right, at the end of 2003 I got my first podium the bike was great, for 2004 Graham had the engine to rebuild and tune, the result was a transformation together with Graham we had no DNF's , and we won the Bemsee Nationwide GP250 Championship, I found Graham to be an ace tuner and a nice guy, if you need a two stroke tuner, he is the man, as said before when you phone him leave a message and he will get back to you, it will be the best call you make for your bike...


Graham came highly recommended to me after I encountered many engine problems from the day I bought the RS, with no where else to turn I reluctantly handed over my bike. I could not have been happier, he did an amazing job, knowing how precious the bike was to me he kept me informed throughout and was always happy to talk to me, to this day it still runs like a dream. A truly genuine guy, I cannot recommend him enough.


I started racing bikes in 98 on board a road spec MZ for fun, fed up of road bikes I wanted the buzz of racing. After 2 seasons of playing at racing I decided I wanted to do it properly. In the winter of 2001 I bought a 1997 Honda Rs 125 Grand Prix bike with absolutely no idea how to run one. Its important for me to note at this stage that although I had raced for 2 seasons I had zero mechanic skills or aptitude - an MZ is not hard to run at all!

I called Graham and went down for a chat. Turning up at the small shed of a workshop, no flash bikes or showroom in view I instantly knew I had found a place that I would like to come to time and time again. We talked and I soon understood that Graham was a top bloke and someone that could help me to understand how to run a bike without mystifying it and that he could talk to me in a language I understood.

Graham tuned the engine and talked me through the basics and I took the bike to Lydden Hill for the opening round of the BMCRC 125 GP championship. I won the first race and won the races the next day and left the weekend leading the championship. Graham had turned my race career on its head, with some simple instructions I was capable of winning races, had the fastest bike on the grid and the most reliable - I finished the year 2nd only due to a crash and riding with broken bones at the final round.

Success continued when I switched to a 250, and for for the next 4 years rode a Honda Rs 250 in the BMCRC club championship, MRO National cup and the Dutch TT round of the European Championship. I almost always had the lowest budget on the grid, and yet one of the fastest and certainly the most consistent bikes out there - whatever the weather or conditions that were thrown at me.

Mid way through 2005 I switched to ride a Yamaha TZ 250 in the European Championship - again tuned by Graham File and the bike was a tool. Without doubt it was the fastest Yamaha in Europe - and in fact on occasion the fastest Yamaha in the World (Estoril & Donington Grand Prix - 2006)

In a short space of time Graham has taken me from knowing nothing in club racing to competing against the best in the world at Grand Prix - I can not speak highly enough of his tuning work, my bikes have always been at the leading edge of his development - fast, easy to set-up, ride able and reliable. Graham is now a great friend of mine and I thoroughly recommend him to anyone - those that know nothing, those that know something and those that think they know it all.

My word of advice is not to just pop down, have a tune and then go back to doing what you were. If you go to Graham go for the whole package - work with him, talk to him and you'll find the bike you are riding transforms.

Give him a call (you'll have to leave a message!!!) and I'm sure he'll turn your seasons around
