Cyclewerks

French really knows his stuff, I’ve been recommended by several people who swear by his work. Came on a Saturday morning with clutch and throttle issues after changing my handlebars on a 78 Yamaha. He had me fixed in 30 minutes. This was my first visit and I will definitely be back for any further work on my bike.

Had these guys install some saddle bag brackets and bags on Suzuki S40 Boulevard. They got me right in and completed work quickly for very reasonable price. I will be going back when service or repairs are needed.

French, the owner, took great care in fixing my bike. He kept me up to date on how things were going and they got my bike back to new. Tune up, new tires, electrical work, new brake pads, all for $ 650 (the tires I picked out were $ 300). So great prices, great work and they finished it quickly. I’ll be back.

I honestly attempted to submit this with NO stars.
I Will NEVER refer clients to this shop.
Brought in my 2007 R6 for tune-​up and valve adjustments.
When I had initially made a phone call to set up an appointment, I had also mentioned my concern of fluid that was seeping near my left foot peg.
(I was told «It’s just chain lube» so it wasn’t addressed)
After dropping it off, I was told they’d have it for about a week. I was more than patient because I wanted everything done right. I even told them to keep me informed on any recommendations because I’m more than willing to invest into this bike.
A week goes by, I haven’t received 1 call through out the process of service work.
Being a service adviser myself, that’s poor business.
I call the following day to ask the status, and I’m told «it’s completed».
We’ll…did you ever plan on calling me? You had my business card with 3 phone numbers, an address, an e-​mail, even a FAX would have been nice.
Nevertheless, I was given my total, 620.00+ and a recommendation to have a new top-​end put in.
Following day, I arrive to pick it up.
I received my service work on tacky paperwork that truly makes you question the legitimacy of the service work, and my receipt.
I immediately established concern starting it up, it still had a hard time turning over (clearly i’m already questioning if the valve adjustment was truly done…) At the first light out, I realize, my turn signals no longer work…
I rode it 5 miles to a jack in the box on mill ave, I park my bike, and It’s spewing coolant!!! At this point i’m pissed off.
I hung out on mill ave for a few hours in fear of the bike overheating during mid-​day. I travel a little over 30 miles to Tatum/​Scottsdale before my gas light came on, so I stop at a gas station to fill up. As I watching coolant spill out of my bike, I realize MY LICENCE PLATE AND BRACKET IS GONE!
Conclusion, I had more problems after picking it up, than before I brought it in.
****** As I’m writing you this Unilocal review, My R6 is currently sitting at DTR Motorsports. Where the techs and owner have been keeping CONSTANT contact with me every step of the way. I’ve even been receiving photos throughout the process of tear down. This is EXCELLENT customer service.
And as for my leak concern that was supposedly «Chain Lube» is actually a leak from from the stator grommet. Turns out this is a common problem with the 2007 R6, clearly take a true mechanic with an excellent track record to diagnose this rather than an amateur assumption «chain lube» It’s also very clear that a valve adjustment was never done. If it was, it was done very poorly. My air-​box was also filthy /​clogged, It needs a new chain tensioner, gasket, and new stater (it was completely fried and melted)
I haven’t heard from, nor will I attempt to contact French at «Cyclewerks», After over $ 600.00 wasted, I’m investing over a grand in correcting what Cycleworks has flawed and what has been additionally found. **********

Friendliness/​Interaction/​Experience — ⁵⁄₅

I brought my own tire and removed the wheel from the swingarm myself at home and brought it in.
I am SO happy to have found this place.
French is very friendly and welcoming. Most other mechanics I’ve been to are mostly cranky and have a chip on their shoulder — so i have to make it a point to say that French is very friendly
He had the tire mounted and balanced in 15 minutes in and out.
He gave good advice on the tire compound I should be using for the kind of bike and riding I’ll be doing.
The whole time I was there we had a GREAT CONVERSATION about bikes — whats new in the market and what kinda bikes he liked and what kinda bikes I liked and all that.
He’s a happy chap that really knows and likes what he does and THAT makes him a great Motorcycle Mechanic :)

Had my bike in cyclewerks twice for two different issues. The mechanic took can of everything I needed and help me understand the mechanics of the bike (I’m very novice). Both French and the mechanic chatted with me and offered suggestions and service for all my needs without jacking the price up. French even offered for me to bring in bikes I’m considering buying to have inspected to aid in a great buy. They have earned my business for the life…

French is the man to see! I bought a used Kawasaki KZ650, that I knew needed a new rear tire, and I didn’t feel comfortable riding it around without getting it inspected.
I found Cyclewerks on Unilocal,and French was very nice to speak with. He is straight to the point, no BS, and knows his stuff. I brought the bike in, got two new tires, tuned up, new plugs and tightened my chain… Boy was it worth it. Rides amazingnow.
The other day the battery blew as did a fuse. French recommended a great towing company, AZ motorcycle towing, and repaired me the next day.
My whole wiring was messed up from the previous owner, so French re-​did it in a half hour. For a new batter and re-​wiring it was a very fair price.
Very glad I found French for my motorcycle needs!

Excellent suspension Set up/​Repair on my 1996 GSXR 11o0. I traveled from boulder CO and had some trouble along the way .the HARSH suspension TRAVEL was KILLING me! French went out of his way to Get me back in super PLUSH style. As good as it gets, French The Wrench Knows his stuff. Abide what he says.

Hands down the best bike shop in town. An old-​school bike shop run by a guy that really loves bikes. French is as good of a mechanic as it gets… he’s a walking encyclopedia on any and every bike going back 30 years. His work is always fairly priced, no unnecessary repairs ordered, and he’ll even tell you what you can do yourself to some $$$. If his repairs or overhaul aren’t complete, he makes it right. Refreshing to find a mechanic you can truly trust
