DO NOT GO HERE!!!! I took my antique motorcycle in because I had a little white smoke coming out of my exhaust. I heard nothing for three weeks. When I called a second time, I was told I needed new pistons and my top end needed rebuilt. BULLSHIT. I about had a heart attack when I went in and saw my motorcycle completely torn apart and in boxes. When I dropped my motorcycle off, I started her on the first kick to demonstrate the exhaust. WHITE SMOKE IS A GAS PROBLEM. MY MOTOR SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN TORN DOWN ESPECIALLY WITHOUT TELLING ME FIRST. What kind of mechanic doesnt start small and work to larger possible causes? Who just goes in and tears a motor apart? Apparently theyve never heard of compression tests. Instead, they just tear the motor apart to tell you the pistons are bad. My pistons were not bad. IT STARTED ON THE FIRST KICK. IT HAD GOOD COMPRESSION. In fact, my pistons are only 7 years old...just like my valves, which the mechanic, Tim, said must have been original valves. NO, THE VALVES AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE MOTOR IS 7 YEARS OLD!!! If the mechanic cant look at valves and determine their age, or if the mechanic cant differentiate between gas smoke (white) and oil smoke (blue or black), they should find new occupations or just retire. Further, when I wanted to buy my own parts, I was told there would be no guarantee on the work. My guess: they dont get to overcharge me on parts. When I wanted receipts from their part distributors, my old parts returned and estimates on the machine work, I was told they decided NOT to finish the work because my demands were unreasonable. Demands?? Ive never had to ask for these things before. They were just a given. I had to pick up my bike in boxes and take it elsewhere to get my motorcycle fixed, and I had to pay these swindlers $400 for tearing my motor apart, which I never asked them to do and which was completely unnecessary! These people are cons and crooks. DO NOT GO HERE!! RUN!! TURN AROUND!!!

Im not writing a review. Im going to comment on Dons post.. First let me agree with your motor shouldnt have been torn down without your knowledge, that I will agree with. Not knowing what this particular dealership did to diagnose your issue I cant comment on that either..... What I will comment on is this, You are wrong about white smoke versus black smoke.. White smoke is oil fouling generally. And if it only does it upon start up could be a couple different reasons. Yes could just be a lean start senareio and thats easily taken care of with a carb adjustment. But pulling the plugs and just taking a look at color of them. Would be where I started, then a compression test... and possibly checked fuel pressure after that (maybe).... But I will tell you, you are wrong when it comes to smoke color... if youre blowing black smoke your running fat on fuel... So before bashing somebody.. make sure you know what youre talking about. Also Im sorry your bike was is parts that does suck and hope your issue gets resolved
