    From there I gave him the OK to " Darkside it out" Ron respected the old school look of the bike and my budget.

    TWO WHEELS UP AND RUNNING (5 stars)…read more Mobile service to the rescue! I've called around and this one seemed the best and most responsive. There are simple jobs to be done for easy money but finding people willing to do it is the challenge! I am lucky Dridox provided mobile service and came to my home to take of services I need... call service ($75) battery replacement ($65 + $29 for battery) and oil change ($85) , maybe tank flush if it didn't start up after the battery replacement. This is what I get for letting my two wheels sit idle in the garage during the winter months collecting dust. I reached out, got a quote, and scheduled the service with Adriano. I had intentions to do this all myself but didn't have all the tools and would like to see it done first before taking a hand at it... also eager to ride and want these services done ASAP! Adriano arrived early/on time, charged my battery and tested it (def needed a new one), replaced my battery, hooked up my charger device (recently bought it and didn't know it's needed for maintenance), it started so I didn't need a tank flush, but went ahead with an oil change since I was overdue. I did tell Adriano I been nearby g to do this on my own so he did show me how-to and what tools and what to look for or be careful of, which I super appreciate his professionalism and expertise. My little two wheels was probably a cake walk to what he is use to servicing. Within the hour all was done. If bigger jobs need to be done such as engine rebuild - they do that too and can rack your two wheels to their shop. The business accepts credit cards, Venmo, and Zelle. The motorcycle shop that usually serviced my two-wheels for years stopped providing service and only to Surrons going forward... they gain some but lost a lot of the only tailor to only a specific kind. My choices were 1) Do the services myself 2) Tow it to Fun Bike Center and get it serviced 3) Fine a mobile service to do it. With the impatience of not riding and budget considered, mobile service was best especially when watching and learning to (maybe) do it in the future yourself. For any future assistance with my two wheel maintenance, I'll be giving them a call. I highly recommend their services.

    First of all, Papa bears Moto repair, which is ran by Charles, is definitely praiseworthy. Charles…read moreis an excellent communicator and can work with your schedule. He's a very friendly person, and when it comes to motorcycles is extremely knowledgeable and intuitive and looks for ways to get the job done quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively. The service I requested was a carb clean and an oil change, and he did just that. I was working from home, so I came out to check on how things were and he showed me what he was working on and went into detail about what he was fixing and got the job done in the timeline that was estimated. My 1999 Yamaha V star is back running and I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend this business to anyone thinking about that bike that needs fixing that's sitting in your garage or whoever you know needs a moto repair. Again, fair pricing, and great work. 10/10!

    I am so happy that I took my motorcycle to Charles. My…read moreSuzuki Boulevard M50 was having trouble starting when the bike was cold. I called different bike repair shops and no one wanted to tell me anything over the phone. Fortunately, I got in touch with Charles through a recommendation of a friend (word of mouth). Within the first few minutes of talking with him on the phone it was very apparent that Charles was very knowledgeable and experienced in moto repair. In my particular case he explained that based on my millage since last getting serviced, it was most likely the valve clearance that needed to be checked and adjusted. (He mentioned a few other things that could be a cause as well, but said it was probably not as likely as the valve clearance.) Anyway long story short, he adjusted my valves as well as cleaned my fuel injectors. When I got my motorcycle back, it sounded and rode better than ever before. It sounded and felt like a completely different motorcycle (in a good way). Charles is very passionate about motorcycles and loves to talk about motorcycles and motorcycle repair. He did a great job, and at a price that is far more competitive vs the bigger guys (who just want to get your bike in and out as fast as possible). In addition to the great service and pricing, what I really like about Charles is that he is always willing to take the time to talk with you (over the phone or in person) and will answer all your questions. I definitely feel far more knowledgeable about my bike after my conversations with Charles. From now on, Papa Bear Moto Repair is the only place that I'm taking to get work done on my bike. P.S. I used to have a really bad stalling issue with my bike. Even after supposedly getting a valve clearance adjustment with Fun Bike a couple years back, I still had a very annoying stalling issue. I thought that maybe it was due to the fact I had an aftermarket exhaust and that I needed to do a dyno tune. Well, turns out that after doing the valve clearance adjustment with Papa Bear Moto (Charles), the stalling issue seems to be completely gone! I guess a valve clearance adjustment is really important. (This is why I believe that Fun Bike didn't do a proper valve clearance adjustment a couple years back.)

Sounds cliche but when you own a business…read moreand interact directly with the customer and provide them a service, you're much more likely to care about what you're doing. I needed a front fork seal rebuild on my bike. I'd gone by a big local place up in Kearny Mesa (won't name) and dude was dismissive, like 'ah yeah a couple hours to pull the forks, a couple hours to rebuild...but we're a month out to get you in'. Acted like he didn't want my business and wouldn't even provide a number 'uh yeah like $130/hour times 4 hours, and yeah parts too'. Gel haired, flat brimmed, frosted tip 50 year old goofball. SD moto did a 24 hour turnaround. Yep, actually less than 24 hours. They preemptively got the parts (he paid for them) dropped bike off Friday, picked up Saturday. Beyond happy. I have a valve clearance coming up in a few thousand miles and I'll coming here. Also he's from Bulgaria , not Russia. Good guy! Edit Bulgaria NOT Belarus haha. Sorry!

I then came across SD moto repair & found brother constantine. He is a 1 man worker but he does work at a fair price, & does it a good time frame & i have been taking my ZX10R to him for some years now for oil changes, tire changes, brake & master cylinder work, front & rear sprocket & chain replacement etcc.. he was even able to find me a replacement fairing for my Zx10R which are hard to find now because of my bikes age & he helped me today (9/13/25) properly fit a green rear seat cowl on my ZX10R that I bought on Ebay that is seen in this photo. I would reccomend him to any rider that needs their cycle serviced for fair pricing, good work & good turn around time. He also doesn't tell his customers "your cycle is too old" as the motozone mechanic told me years ago.
