prince_ruben 0 Posted October 12, 2010 Hey guys. I need to have my 2002 Honda XR 650L motor checked out and I need a reliable shop. I was thinking of bringing it to Fun Bike Center only because I've been buying parts there but I have no service experience there. Do you guys have any suggestions? Thanks. prince.ruben@gmail.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted October 12, 2010 Hey guys. I need to have my 2002 Honda XR 650L motor checked out and I need a reliable shop. I wsa thinking of bringing it to Fun Bike Center only because I've been buying parts there but I have no service experience there. Do you guys have any suggestions? Thanks. prince.ruben@gmail.com what do you want checked out? Is it making funny noises? Burning oil? Need valves checked? A lot of people have been recommending C&D Cycles in Clairemont... search the rest of this section to see reviews (good and bad) of all the shops. *edit* I wouldn't recommend Fun Bike, based on my experience there... House of Motorcycles has been hit and miss with me... MotoWorld has taken good care of me so far... I do most of my own "stuff" but replacing a top end is out of my league (smartasses "in the know" will also say that "checking air pressure, fixing a flat, tightening spokes, and cleaning an air filter are also out of his league") Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's my valve train that needs to be examined. I rebuilt the top end, had a valves and rockers replaced, XR's only added the big fins, installed a Hotcams Stage 1 cam and still the bike has issues. It ran fine for about 700 miles then then ticking resumed. I need a competent mechanic to service the bike. I'll take a look into C&D. Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KTMrad 513 Posted October 12, 2010 My friend Tim is "The Bike Doctor" in Flinn Springs, just east on the I-8. Or, call Alex at Kon Tiki Motorcycles on Garnet Ave. in PB. Or, National City Motorcycle, talk to Rob or Mike (the owners). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
