I can't recommend Steve enough. He's the person you want to take your bike to first, so you don't have to deal with another mechanic telling you something's impossible just because they couldn't figure it out. I replaced both the front and rear turn signals on my bike with LEDs. The original rear signals only worked as running lights and turn signals, but the new rear signals also included a brake-light function. Another mechanic couldn't get the LEDs working at all. They'd only flash instead of functioning properly, and he told me that the added brake-light function was causing the issue and couldn't be wired into the rear signals. I'd also changed my handlebars and needed the electronic cables extended, so I brought the bike to Steve and asked him to look at the lights as well. He solved every problem. He got the LED signals working correctly and made the full lighting setup work exactly as I'd intended. The handlebar wiring work looks incredibly clean and professional. While Steve was working on the bike, he found a separate issue I'd accidentally caused when I started changing the cables myself before I brought it to him. He identified the problem quickly and repaired it as well. What stood out most was Steve's troubleshooting ability and attention to detail. It was such a relief to find someone who took the time to diagnose everything properly and get it all working. I wish I'd brought my bike to him first. I'll absolutely be back and highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality work on their bike. read more

Steve was a pleasure to work with. After some challenges with my tuner, he was able to get it replaced and dyno was spot on. Loving the new s&s cam kit in my Harley which runs better than ever. read more

I brought my bike In for a new chain, forks and tire. When I left my bike felt completely new and felt great! Steve does a fantastic job and knows what he is doing. I will definitely come back again if the need should arise. read more

Apparently, riding your horse on the freeway in Phoenix is frowned upon, so I had to get a motorcycle. I had some trouble with it and had to get it looked at. Excellent service, Steve delivered as promised. Even came out a little cheaper than he expected. My bike runs great now. read more

Steve is an excellent tuner, and a good guy. Brought my gsxr to him, and he got it running better than ever. Very thorough with the tuning. The price was pretty average for any good tune you'd get. I will definitely be doing business again if I ever get another bike, or need one tuned. Plus he was recommended by a few people I called before hand. All in all I'm very happy with the outcome. Thank you! read more

Add me to the long list of satisfied customers! Steve got my 2001 Honda Shadow running like new! I gave him authorization to rebuild my carb if necessary, but he found it wasn't needed, did the necessary repairs, adjustments and solved the issue of my bike coughing and hiccuping! He even replaced my clutch cable, and the bike feels like new! All this, and he likely saved me $300+ from what this should have cost! Fast, professional, and honest! I will definitely use Cycle Dynamics / Steve again! Thanks, Steve! read more

So I am new to riding and I bought a bike that is in really bad shape and he gave some advice that i am taking into cosideration, but i have a lot of friends willing to help me out so I decided to fix it up and make it look nice but he explained and taught me a lot about how bikes work and what connects where, so in short what im trying to say I %100 percent think anyone whos having issues with their bikes, Steves the man to help and he will give you straight up advice whether you like it or not, do not go to ride now, I went there and ask them to charge my battery, so i returned the next day and they said they forgot to charge it. But as far as actually helping to teach you some things he will show you and explain whats wrong with it in front of you, now i dont know about you but thats genuine and I respect that! read more

Amazing! Absolutely nothing less than phenomenal! I recently purchased a 2002 Honda VTX1800 with Vance & Hines pipes and K&N air filter and a Power Commander3. It had been running horribly and had already fouled out a $60 set of plugs. I had taken it to the "dealer" where they could not even diagnose a bad fuel pressure regulator. Fast forward to looking at reviews and other opinions and was lucky enough to find Steve. He is an amazing bike mechanic and Dino tuner along with being a professional rider and now driver. I could have replaced the fuel pressure regulator most likely but I wanted it done correctly and wanted it tuned so I could enjoy the riding the bike like it's meant to be. The last thing I wanted to do was spend a ton of money to have the bike in the shop again but there was no other choice. Steve called me and told me that it was done, 3 days earlier than I expected. When I walked in he was smiling and said "I'm pretty sure you are going to love the tune I put on there after I replaced the FPR". OMG he was right! He completely exceeded my wildest expectations. I never thought that this bike could sound so great and run better than new. The performance of this bike now is incredible, and that's not even the best part! As I eluded to earlier, this was done sooner than expected but also less than expected! Steve is the type of person that doesn't do anything "extra" that is not necessary. I told him what was happening and he fixed it period. I told him the symptoms and I told him that I wanted to enjoy the bike like it was supposed to be, and he did just that. There was no "upsales" nor any other pressure BS. The man did exactly as I asked and did an amazing job! I feel fortunate to have found an honest mechanic and shop owner that knows his stuff. Thanks for the "new lease on life" for this 17 year old bike that will rival any new bike on the road! Eric J in Phoenix read more

My Hayabusa sand car hasn't run correctly in 16 months. 4 mechanics at one shop, one at another, and two at another have worked on it and I've spent $1800 trying to fix it. It has been on 2 different dynos and had 15 new parts tried. And still it couldn't run right. I dropped it off with Steve and he called to tell me it was fixed before I even got to my next destination! AMAZING!!! read more

Great little shop. Been here several times. Guy is very nice and does good work. Would definitely recommend him.

I own a 2002 Harley Road King Scremin Eagle (CVO) with about 10k miles on it. Been garage kept all its life and is a Sunday driver. Retired about 7 months ago and decided I wanted to ride it more now that I had time to take some road trips with my wife of 46 years. The bike is in pristine shape but I wanted to make some slight mods to get a little more out of it in hp and torque. So I added a set of V&H slip ons and an Arlen Ness big sucker intake kit. The question was "did it need a tune" after these two mods. I had researched the web and opinions varied. I had never had a bike tuned before and wondered if a bike that old could handle being revved up to the rpm limiter several times. I was a little cautious of doing that and even more cautious of finding a shop/person that would give me some level of comfort and confidence. I again did my research over a two day period and based on the reviews, I chose Cycle Dynamics. I called Cycle Dynamics and a gentleman named Steve returned my call. When I asked for his opinion on whether or not a tune was needed, his reply was that "even a new bike could benefit from a tune since the manufacturer was always forced to make the bike run lean in order to meet EPA. regulations". Steve had several years of experience and a racing background so I moved forward with the decision. Turns out, that was a sound decision. Steve did what he obviously loves to do and the results were nothing less than stellar. When I saw the hp and torque curves based on the number of runs he did when I picked the bike up, I couldn't wait to experience the difference. The usable torque and horsepower to me was vastly different and improved. The torque curve was flat and handsome as it should be and the sweet spot was between 2500 and 4500 rpms. That was super important to me as getting out of the way and merging into traffic was much more important than top end. Knowing how the bike would respond at those rpms gives a man confidence when he needs it the most. Talk about fun and thrill, I can't begin to describe. Steve was a subject matter expert, as I had been in the legal field prior to my retirement. Can't say enough about his expertise. Throttle response smoother and quicker. Power increase obvious, It was like riding a new bike for the first time. Bottom line? He can take an already great bike and make it something you look forward to riding even more. So, if you take pride in ownership of your ride, then give it to this man and let him do his thing. Dropped the bike off at cob on Saturday and had it back the following Thursday. It was so worth the hour trip out to his shop from where we live. Cycle Dynamics will be the shop of choice for maintenance and any further mods going forward. As to price reasonableness, Cycle Dynamics was in the competitive range and maybe a little on the higher end of that range. Having said that, you only get specialized service when you pay for it. That's why you choose a subject matter expert. Job well done Steve! read more

I am blown away with the amazing customer service, Steve and his lovely wife had provided. This shop went above and beyond and I cant thank them enough. I inadvertently put him through the ringer and he nailed it. I will definatley be coming back and highly recommend to anyone in need of an expert. you guys are the best, God bless read more

Steve is great and very knowledgeable. He has worked on my bike before and l was really pleased with his honesty, expertise and work. Recently my bike acted up suddenly and before I was going to bring it in I called and described what was happening. Steve eliminated what I thought it might be from surfing the web and diagnosed a couple of simple possibilities and said try those first. They worked. I would have been happy to take it to him but I was even happier to have gotten it running at home. read more

I'm very happy with the work that was done at Cycle Dynamics on my 2012 Multistrada. This is the second bike I've brought to him where he actually diagnosed and fixed the problem that others had missed. No selling of parts you don't need. Honesty and good communication practiced here. Thanks Steve! read more

Years ago, after getting fed up with the overpriced "all-in-one-place" centers offering sales/service/parts/apparel/pizza (whose techs were largely fresh out of school and green), I was fortunate enough to discover Cycle Dynamics. Steve brings years of hands-on experience servicing bikes of nearly all manufacture. Being an avid rider himself (ask him about his trophy collection), Steve's passion is making your bike run like it did brand new. Thanks for another great service experience Cycle Dynamics. Another happy customer. read more

Steve has worked on several of my bikes and the outcome has always been very good. I have noticed comparing Steve to other shops is that he wastes no time and likes to get things done. Steve works hard and is very knowledgeable and his prices are very competitive. I would recommend his services and I feel he has always been very honest with me. read more

I have been bringing my two Harley's here for the past two years. Service is great, fast and a lot cheaper than the dealers. I highly recommend them. read more

I brought my bike to Steve after another mechanic had it for about a month and butchered it. Steve told me it would take about two days to fix it and had it to me the very next day! I don't think my bike ran as well as it does now when it was brand new. Great service! read more

Awesome place! Staff is very knowledgable about all types of motorcycles: on and off-road vehicles! Helped me with my engine over heating in less than 30 minutes and at an amazing price! Definitely the lowest in Phoenix! Highly recommended! Every time I'm in Phoenix, I'm definitely coming here for any work! (I'm from Palm Springs, CA) read more

I took my bike to get the idle adjusted beyond just turning the throttle adjustment but that's all that was done, idle was adjusted higher but not any better. I brought my bike to another mechanic and he found a massive vacuum leak - that's why the idle wasn't good. I also had Steve bleed my brakes because the previous mechanic's bleed didn't last - I suggested that the brake line may be stretched due to the handlebar risers but I was told that wouldn't cause air in the line (I doubted this). The brakes started squeeling within days after picking the bike up which they had never done before and the pads were fairly new ( 3Kmi). Steve told me that it had nothing to do with his service. I had another mechanic work on the bike because the squeeling was driving me nuts. The lines needed to be replaced since they were allowing air in slowly, the squeel is gone because they were bled correctly this time. I asked Steve to check fluids since he didn't have much to work on for the $70/hour and I wanted to get my monies worth. My clutch fluid was filthy and he didn't bother checking it. The other slap in the face was a modification I had made when I installed a new headlight and it wouldn't turn on when I turned the key so I tapped into the blinkers - my stupidity not to start the engine because this bike's headlight only comes on when the engine is running. Steve decided to charge me another hour $70 to redo my work instead of just telling me. (I did the work myself - I could take it apart without being charged for it). So $140 for a mechanic to turn the throttle adjustment knob, bleed my brakes and take apart the wiring that I did. I felt ripped off. - I told Steve I felt over charged and like I was paying way too much for so little. He blew me off. I also had to straighten out my license plate mount because it was bent (and still is) and turned down, guess it got snagged on something - no apology given. I had to fix it myself. read more

Steve went the extra mile to make sure my bike was performing to its maximum potential. He explained in detail what they were doing and made suggestions what more I could do without trying to up sale. The parts they installed were top of the line and at a cost less than I could have got them (yes I'll admit I'm cheap and checked). To take a stock metric engine and get it to crank out an extra 12hp and at the same time stay smooth at cruising speed I believe takes talent more than know-how. They are my #1 choice for engine work. read more

If you're looking for a honest, trustworthy, experienced mechanic to work on your "baby", look no further. Cycle Dynamics is the best in the valley, hands down. Let me tell you why. First off, Steve treats your vehicle like it's his own. Second, he doesn't bullshit you, he tells you what you need to get it running again. Third, he tells you what he recommends you need (which I recommend you take his advice). I've brought my bike to him twice, and was more than satisfied with his work every single time. I'm not a 'Yelper', but I felt the need to go out of my way let all of you know this is the place you need to go for all your mechanical needs. Cycle Dynamics is the real deal. read more

A while back I had the oil seals replaced on my Kawasaki 750 by this shop. While they were changing the seals, they replaced the neutral switch on the bike without my consent and charged me $80 for the privilege. Steve never called me and lack of communication is not professional, so pass on this bike repair shop as there are better shops out there with better rates. read more

Steve at Cycle Dynamics really helped me out of a jam. I had a ride coming up on the weekend, but my bike just wasn't running right. When I called, Steve said to bring it on in. I dropped it off on Tuesday hoping to get it back by Friday. I was amazed that he called on Wednesday to tell me to pick it up. read more

Steve is awesome! I highly recommend taking your bike to Cycle Dynamics. I have taken my bike there a few times and they get the job done fast at a reasonable price. read more

I have a 02 Honda VTX 1800C. I brought it to Cycle Dynamics because I had a leaking fork seal. While talking about the fork seal job Steve mentioned that my particular bike can really benefit from a set of progressive fork springs and since he was already in there for the seals, I should consider getting it done. I had the bike into Steve a few years earlier for a wiring issue and he mentioned that the bike was running very rich and it would definitely run much better with a power commander installed and a dyno tune. I'll be honest - it ain't cheap to have that done and the first time he mentioned it a few years ago I declined. This time I agreed to make those improvements along with a full service (which includes flushing and replacing all the fluids, plugs, and too much to list here). I got the bike back yesterday (EARLIER than originally estimated I might add) and WOW! It's like a NEW BIKE. The springs completely transformed the bike's handling. I mean 100% improvement, not just a slight improvement. I honestly can't believe how much difference it made. It handles like one of the much smaller bikes I have owned in the past. I didn't think it was possible for this 1800cc behemoth to handle the way it does now. The power commander has also transformed the bike. It always kind of sputtered and coughed at low RPM at low throttle. I thought it was just how the bike was. That is completely gone now. It's smooth like butter through all the gears at all RPM and throttle positions. It is truly like a new and improved version of the bike. Couldn't be happier. Steve really knows his stuff and you can tell right away he's as passionate about your bike as you are (probably more). I was already a repeat customer and I highly recommend Cycle Dynamics. You can feel confident that he will won't upsell you crap you don't need. I've had bikes for 30+ years and have had them serviced at many shops. Working with Steve and Cycle Dynamics has been the absolute best experience I've ever had with a shop hands down. You will not be disappointed. read more

So far I have taken two motorcycles to Steve's shop. Both older classic bikes, 1983 GS1100 and 1983 CB1100F and so far I've been very pleased with the workmanship and the quick turnaround. If you want your bike worked on, done right and done pretty darn quickly this is the place for you. -Rod read more

If I could give 10 stars I would! Let me tell you from day one when I walked in the building I have nothing but an amazing experience with Steve such a reliable motorcycle mechanic. I got a few different things done to my Suzuki GSXR 750, an Steve got it running like a charm. I wasn't sure with a lot of things going on with the bike but Steve was an handle the problems quick fast an in a hurry. A big reason I went with this shop because when I brought the bike to him he gave me tons have help up front which I really appreciate it from him. while he was working he came up to my bike got on the ground just to see how things were looking and really gave me tons of help I appreciate everything. If we are having back problems you better believe we will be coming back to the cycle Dynamics! Thank you for all your help!. It was very much appreciated! We need more mechanics like Steve I was very happy with the results of my bike. read more

Took my Yamaha Road Star Warrior in for some service and also needed to get a Dyno and Tune done on it. Steve knocked it out of the park and made my bike run amazing and so much better than what it was before. Night and day difference in the ride and power. On top of all that when I called around to other shops for the service and tune they said they couldn't get my bike in for 1-2 weeks to even start on it. Steve took care of everything in just a few days and got it in and out in no time flat. Awesome service and knowledge that he shared with me when going over stuff about my bike. I'll be coming back for any future needs for sure. read more

If you're looking for a straightforward, reliable, experienced mechanic to work on your motorcycle, and get it running like it should Cycle Dynamics is the best of the best in the west, hands down. Steve went the extra mile to make sure my bike was performing to its maximum potential and also explained to me what he was doing through the Dyno process to get my motorcycle in running in tip top shape. He tells you what he recommends you need (I recommend you take his advice). Cycle Dynamics is the real deal in my book and it's good to have a professional that treats your motorcycle like it's his own. read more

Steve was great. I had a full exhaust installed and my ECU flashed on my R6. The fuel map that was loaded didn't quite match my bike. Steve took my bike and custom tuned it. Bike runs fantastic now. He knows a lot about the R6. He isn't afraid to tell you like it is either...like the exhaust I put on is a piece of crap, so it's not making the peak HP it should. Steve was still able to squeak 6 hp more out of it though. I will be coming back for any other mechanical things I need done. Totally recommended. Thanks Steve! read more

Just had a total suspension job done on my Yamaha wr450f 2013 - WOW - if you think a stock suspension bike is where it's at you need to see Steve at cycle dynamics. Along with a few other small items , he truely brought this bike up to its full potential based on rider weight and terrain preference and ability . The best money I ever spent on an off ride bike I ever owned. The man knows his stuff - check him out !!!! read more

Thanks Steve. Took a GHOST PROBLEM V-Rod to Cycle Dynamics . I told Steve it had been to the dealer 2 times and they said the bike HAD NO PROBLEMS . Guess if no codes are showing some shops cannot find the problem. Steve found the problem along with a few other issues this bike had . Most shops will not even touch your ride with a intermittent problem. Steve not only fixed it he did it FAST and at a very reasonable price and IT IS RIGHT NOW. He made a v-rod a V-ROD !!!! Thank you Steve my smile is hitting my ears. And he LOVES dogs so he has to be GREAT!!!!!!!! read more

Motorcycle Magician!! I have taken my ride to Steve multiple times now, for new tires, brakes, full service, dyno tuning, and repairs. Every time I get my bike back it's been improved. I bought my '03 VTX 1800 used in 2009, and at this point Steve has made it even better than when I bought it (and I was impressed back then). Cycle Dynamics is the only place I will take my bike now. The work is excellent as well as the customer service. Steve truly cares about motorcycles, and just wants to see your bike run and look it's best. He seems to care about every bike that comes in almost as if it was his own. I am truly impressed!! read more

Extremely knowledgeable and friendly to a first time bike owner. They replaced my chain, adjusted / fixed my clutch, and changed my oil. They explained in detail everything they did and did it much cheaper than any other place would have. Highly recommend them, I definitely will be going back. read more

My experience with this shop has proven that there are still honest, talented mechanics out there who take pride in their work, and genuinely want the best for their customers. I brought in my Suzuki GSXR which was having unknown issues and not running. Steve made an accurate and fast diagnosis on multiple problems and even kept my budget in mind, ordering a cheaper exhaust servo from Ebay. The bike turned out perfectly and for much less cost than was initially expected. He even repaired some bodywork and minor issues that he happened to notice at no cost to me. This is as good as it gets! read more

Very arrogant,no custom service skill.only wants to use his parts at his price.After listen to him rant and rave for 10 min decided to pick up my parts and drive across town and use a machine shop with less ego and know it all attitude.steve needs to remember the customer has been around the block a few times also. read more

Total loss! Took my son's Honda 80 to Cycle Dynamics due to the high ratings on this site. Steve, the owner, told me that all the great reviews were because of his large family writing the reviews, I thought he was joking, maybe not. My son's bike was not shifting, Cycle Dynamics charged me for 3 hours of diagnositics and informed me that the shift fork was broke and available from Honda for $52.00. They also informed me that the bike needed to have the carb rebuilt. Total shop bill was $370.73 and included on the invoice was Clean Carb/Seal Vacuum leaks, replace carb manifold O ring, fuel needle valve. Picked up the bike Sept 22, was finally able to take the bike out this weekend. My son was riding the bike, stopped after about 15 minutes for a break, saw smoke starting to come from the engine, heard a hissing sound and the engine burst into flames. Bike is a total loss. I called Steve (shop owner) this morning to discuss what could have caused this. He offered me an $80 refund for the carb ...
