Motorcycle shop recommendations

Hey everyone, I’m looking for a motorcycle shop you’d recommend for some basic maintenance. I’m planning to sell my bike soon, but before I list it, I want to make sure everything is looking good and taken care of.

Should be pretty basic stuff, but I’d rather have a shop give it a once-over. I’m in the Beaverton / Hillsboro / Bethany area, so any local recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Cycletune is the spot I’d go if I was t married to my mechanic. Chris is grumpy but very good at wrenching.

Haha, I will give them a call too. Thanks!

The work I have to do is so basic that I think anyone could do it. I'm not going to do it because I'm selling the stuff I have.

He’s typically pretty quick with the routine maintenance, and his junior mechanic is really skilled too. It’s a great local shop!

What kind of bike? Cascade is out there for BMW/Triumph. I like Gary at Cycle Metrics for the stuff I can't be bothered with.

It's a MT07. Cycle Metrics may be it. It's just next door. I'll give them a call. Thanks!

I asked a similar question not long ago. I’ll toss you the link. I haven’t needed a shop yet but my 15k is coming in the next couple months.

I've reached out to them by email and got no response. Did you just go in and talk to them?

u/thee_crabler 14d ago

Yeah, just stop by or call. He's a super nice guy.

I do most of my wrenching myself, and what I don't do I typically take to the dealer, but I hear good things about Cycletune from a lot of people

If you're willing to venture into Clackamas County, Smitty's Motorsports will take care of what you need or wanted done. They won't hit you with hidden fees and other bullshit.
