I've got an 04 honda crf250 and its been knocking like crazy so I parked it for 2 years and my buddy told me it just needs the valves reshimmed. Is that something you do there? If so, what's the price range?
We can help . Cost would be about 90 to 150 if it needs adjustment...

Hey Scott, i have a 07 gsxr 750 we about 33000 miles on it....all the recommended service was done..but i am having the cold start issue that all over the net....can you help me out
If you're talking about the abrubt throttle while trying to maintain steady speed , I can try but there is a definently gremlins in there that may want to stay forever. There is talk about changing the T.P. sensor to trick the bike into thinking that it isn't hitting 0% throttle.. It has been sucessfull before for me with a 50% rate

Hey, Scott. Went and bought a 1999 Yamaha YZF R6. Idles fine, starts right up, pulls really well, has tons of power. Only problem, is that is I am at a stand still for too long, it over heats, and the reserve tank for the radiator pops it's cap, and even the radiator cap popped off! What could be causing that? It stays at a cool temp while riding, but the moment I stop, it heats up quickly. Any ideas?
I am thinking it must have had a fall on the right side before. It's very uncommon to hear of a cap popping off.It might have a fualty fanor it may be missing? I'd love to help but don't want to concern you with some of the guesses I have for this symptom... Call for a time to drop it of for further checking...Thanks

Hi Scott. I'm still fairly new to the motorcyle world so I was hoping you could direct me. I have a '02 Honda CBR954RR that I havent riden in about a year. I was going to go out for a ride but I noticed my brakes have very little pressure compared to the last time I rode it. Is this due to a leak or just inactivity of the bike? I was also wondering how much would it cost to inspect the bike to see if there is any other mechanical issues that may need to be fixed. Thanks for your time.
Maybe inactivity. I have seen that occur often. I would bleed them well then check operation. Bring it down for an inspection anytime. the cost will start if we need to do work . thanks

Beginner motorcyclist: Bought a Hyosung 250gt R. running grat after i stripped it all down and replaced every filter and cleaned it all up. One problem the speedometer doesn\'t work. Any suggetions?
The drive is at the front wheel and It should have a cable that runs from there to the speedo....make sure it is plugged in on both ends and ensure the drive at the wheel isn't broken...

Hey Scott, I got a 2005 CBR1000RR, I don't know if I'm having a problem, the engine is getting hot, very hot, 225 degrees. What you think is happen? I change the oil few weeks ago, but the level is right, have water on tank, I don't know if you can help me. Thank you.
If it is getting to 225' in stop and go traffic I wouldnt be concerned , if it is doing it while on the freeway you might have problems...

How much is the labor for installation of valves and springs for front forks of a 03 cbr 600rr?
We have Racetech gold valves and springs available and depending on how serious you are about getting the right setup for your bike and riding needs you could spend as low as $500 for the basic valve and correct springs and around $1700 for complete internals for your forks...the rear shock could cost $500 to re-valve or we can get Ohlins shocks installed for around $1400 . Thanks

where do you get those rubber tank knee grips and can i order them from you guys i own a k5 750 gsxr and im also looking for the center grip like that too please help been looking all over for them thanks
Walmart has an option that seems to work for some people... It's in the Trailer accesory section near the auto stuff and cost about 15 bucks. Otherwise you can order stuff from me that comes tailor fit to suit the bike for 40-60 bucks.

Glad we could fix your bike . How is everything working out?

Hi Scott, I was told that you were good with more than crotch rockets. I have an 01 Independence built Custom. It has a 100" RevTech. Would you be able/willing to do some work on it. I'm not a bike mechanic, but I buy and sell things all the time. This bike might be one that I'll keep. Please let me know. Thanks, Gary
Sorry . I don't know much about harley's or clone harley's . Wish I could help , but I'm not your guy.

I got my front suspension sorted, raised the rear about 6mm and went 1/2 turn harder on the dampening, did the trick! So I'm ready for those Dunlop Q2's you suggested! Before I came in I wanted to double check you have my tire sizes in stock. I want new front and rear: 180/55 ZR17, 120/70 ZR17 Thanks! Alex, Red Ducati 848
Yep. No problem. got them.

Scott! Dude! I'm looking for a set of Bridgestone BT003 r/s, with a 190 rear. How much please? And, how soon could I have them mounted?
I have them in stock now. They are 377.40 out the door installed on the bike. This is for the suggested 190/55-17 not the 190/50-17... thanks bro.

Hi Scott, We love your web site. My question is, if we are considering buying a used motorcycle from a private party, could we bring it to your shop and have you check it out? Would we need an appointment? And how much would it cost for you to tell us if it's worth the money or not? Thanks ,
I'll usualy take a quick look for free but in some cases I'll need to take a closer look. I would assume that a quick once over and a test ride will tell me a lot about the machine and I don't care to charge for that...any further examination will cost $75 per hour...thanks

---
