Performance Motor Sports

After months or searching for a chopper that met my needs both physically and financially, I decided on the 2011 V Star 1300. I searched high and low for a place that wasn’t trying to rip me off and thankfully I came across Devin and his crew. He gave me all the details I wanted, no extra «fluff» talk telling me how great of a purchase I was making. He knew everything I wanted to know and was able to help me out in a very professional yet relaxing manner. I didn’t feel rushed or pushed towards buying anything I wasn’t 100% sure I wanted. This was my first motorcycle purchase but I am no stranger to buying cars. This was, by far, the easiest, most pain-​free purchase of a vehicle I have ever made. Smooth and efficient is the best way to put it. I would definitely come back to P.M.S again for any of my chopper needs.

I took my Honda VTX1300 to Performance Motorsports for new tires. After selecting the tires, I made an appointment to have them mounted and balanced.
When I picked up the bike, the tires were fine. They did, however, try to charge me an additional $ 20 for adjustments that I had not requested. I refused to pay for this charge that was unnecessary and not authorized.
When I rode the bike home, I immediately noticed that the bike was not running the same as it had been when I took the bike in for tires. The clutch had been adjusted and I had to let the clutch almost all the way out before I got traction. The bike also did not idle the same as it had, and was too slow. When I accelerated, the bike lugged which indicated to me that the timing was off.
I called them on the telephone, and asked what had happened to my bike. They acknowledged that they had adjusted the clutch, because they didn’t think it felt «right» to them. When I said that I had not asked them to alter the bike in any way, they said that I should have written that in the contract.
Not wanting to take the bike back to them, I took it to another shop, where they re-​adjusted the clutch and reset the idle. This was a big improvement, but the bike still lugged on acceleration.
After much time, I located and removed a steel spacer between a battery cable and a wiring junction. I removed the spacer & now my bike is just like it was before I took it in to get new tires. Needless, to say, I would not recommend having service done at Performance Motorsport.

Had my forks replaced by their technician, and I’ve never met nicer staff/​mechanics. They know what they’re doing and know how to get it done fast, as it was all done in a mere hour and a half. Top notch garage that they even let me tour, and will also match prices online for parts. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because they didn’t tell me that the forks I thought were bent and was having them replace were actually not bent, or at least not the cause of my steering alignment issue. a technical and a communicational error, but if they had really gone out of their way to tell me this it would have meant a lot more to me than charging me for labor and doing it then telling me they weren’t even that bad. Still, MUCH better experience overall with these guys than all the other shops I’ve been to. John’s cycle is on the same street and he’s great, but too many people trust him with their bikes already and he runs a one man show so it would have taken weeks for him to replace my forks compared to 1.5 hours at p.m.s. (yeah, I laughed at that too).
