    Oil leaking and check out what silicone is left.
    Shauna B.

    I've been meaning to write this review for some time but felt I needed to really assess the damage and full extent of it all. I took my 75' CB400four here last spring because they were recommended by a machine shop up the street that did great work, however these guys fucked up some stuff on my bike. I took it to this shop because I need to have my pistons honed out, new gaskets installed and the top end put back on. So here is what went wrong. Like let's try SILICONE for example. Wtf?! It was all over my rocker box and on the cases. When I inquired Max said talk to Mike and Mike played dumb like he didn't know what I was talking about. Well, obviously at this point I had to take my bike to another shop for further work because something seemed off with the compression, which it was, and I had a massive amount of oil leaking from my rocker box. Come to find out that they did a horrible job of what I paid them to do. So here I am out of $510 for work that isn't even worth a shit, silicone all over the place and I have to pay another shop to fix the massive leak coming from my rocker box. Still to this day I am dealing with problems caused by this shop and these guys that do not know what they are doing. I even provided them with a shop manual, gaskets, etc. Just don't even go here. These dudes suck. Don't trust them. They clearly don't care for your business or life. And the other guy who said they lied about time is spot on in his review. Same thing for me. Took twice as long. Karma guys... It's coming for you one day.

    Do not deal with this shop…read more For a place that claims to have great communication, it's surprisingly difficult for them to clearly state a simple requirement: they won't work on your bike if the wheels are still on it you have to remove them yourself. This should have been communicated upfront, not discovered later after wasting time. Meanwhile, Cycle Gear explained everything clearly from the start with no confusion at all. I'd strongly suggest staying away from this shop unless you're prepared for poor communication and unhelpful responses. Read all reviews about this place!

    I've been going to CT Motorcycles for a couple of years, but today was the last time…read more I own three motorcycles and have spent a good amount of money there over the years. Unfortunately, the experience has been very inconsistent. Pricing seems to vary a lot, and the quality of the work has not been reliable. The last time they mounted tires on my bike, they installed one of them in the wrong direction. I brought it back and had them fix it. Today, the exact same thing happened again. When I noticed the tire was mounted with the wrong rotation and pointed it out, he initially insisted it was correct. The tire I use can be mounted on the front or rear, so it has two directional arrows on the sidewall--one for front rotation and one for rear rotation. My tire was clearly installed using the rear direction even though it was mounted on the front wheel. After going back and forth, he finally remounted it the correct way. Unfortunately, during the process my newly powder-coated rims were scratched. To his credit, he did say he would pay for the powder coating, but with attitude. I won't be coming back. He could have at least gave me the money for mounting the tires back. I'm also missing the valve cover. Now I need to pay for powder coating, new bearings etc. I'm more than mad. But More to the fact that he didn't want to solve it right there. When it comes to motorcycles and especially tires, I want to go to a shop I can trust to get the basics right. After multiple mistakes like this, I just don't have that confidence anymore. To make things even stranger, at the end I was told they no longer want to service my bikes because my tires are "too small." That's a pretty surprising thing to hear from a motorcycle tire shop. Overall, I'm very disappointed with the experience and won't be coming back. I cannot recommend this place at all.

    Had my bike worked on. He had no idea about things he did wrong. Had to have him redo. He was going…read moreto give money back, ha ha ha. He wanted to charge me more for fixing his mistakes. He almost got me killed by the crap he did. He said he knew it all. He over charged!!! Way over charged. I will never even think about going back to get screwed again. I called two dealers and a major bike parts house all said he did wrong. He laughed and said they didn't know what they were talking about. He even threatened me. He was to have worked on the front & rear brakes. He did not touch them. I was riding home and hit the rear brske. Oh oh no brake the pedal had no pressure. Went down to the foot plate. He put the wrong tire on the front and it caused the front end to shake violently. There's more!

    I have been taking my bikes to Marcelo long since he moved from Burbank - for years…read more I own four bikes, (BMW R1150GSA, Honda XR650R, Honda CB1100F, Honda CB400F) and as you can see everything from dirt bikes, to the BMW GS to the older Honda stuff and I primarily go to Marcelo. He is the ONLY guy in LA that knows how to tune the tricky and one-year make, Honda CB1100F. Furthermore, he is the ONLY guy I will let touch my CB1100F or my CB400F. I also will not hesitate to bring in my BMW for anything. He is honest, hard working and does not beat around the bush. His shop isnt flashy, with couches and waiting rooms and the like. He just knows how to fix bikes and he does it for a better price than any I have found and best of all he is honest. If you dont need work done, he will tell you. I was out in the valley one time, I realized I was really low on oil so I swung into his shop and topped me off and refused to take money.... he's just a good guy. I hate to hear anyone say bad things about Marcelo, he is a good guy and he runs a good shop.
