Reviews
Riders
“Dealer wanted $1,400 for a valve service on my Ninja. These guys did it right for less than half and showed me the shim measurements.”
Trey K., Valve check
“Setting the sag properly changed the bike more than any part I have bolted on.”

FAQ
Rider questions
Do you work on my brand?
We service most Japanese, European and American street bikes, cruisers and dual sports. We do not currently take on vintage carbureted restorations or anything needing dealer only diagnostic software. Call with the year and model and we will tell you straight.
How often do valves actually need checking?
Check your owner's manual, but most modern bikes call for it between 15,000 and 26,000 miles. Skipping it is how a cheap shim job becomes a burnt valve. If the interval has passed and it has never been done, it is worth doing.
Can I bring in wheels only for tires?
Yes, and it saves you money. Wheels off the bike are $55 each mounted and balanced versus $85 with removal and reinstall. Bring both wheels in and we usually turn them around same day.
Can I supply my own parts?
Yes for tires, filters and consumables. We charge normal labor and there is no warranty from us on the part itself. For anything critical or hard to source, our parts usually cost about the same once shipping is counted.
