Independent motorcycle service in Oroville, under 20 minutes from Palermo. Tune-ups, engine work, tires, brakes and custom bagger builds. Free estimates, straight answers.
Palermo sits just south of Oroville. The shop is about 10 miles and under 20 minutes away by Palermo Road and Lone Tree Road, then CA-70.
That is close enough that routine service, a tire or a set of plugs is an easy trip. Most service and tune-up work is same-day or next-day.
Palermo took its name from the city in Sicily, chosen because the climate here was so good for growing olives, and its post office opened in 1888. It is still a spread-out, rural community of about 5,500 people as of the 2020 census, and plenty of the bikes out here get ridden on weekends and parked the rest of the week.
A bike that sits has its own set of problems. The battery drains a little every day, faster if an alarm or anything else pulls power with the key off. Fuel goes stale in the tank and the lines. Tires slowly lose air, and a heavy bike parked on soft tires for months can develop flat spots. None of that costs much to deal with early, and all of it gets more expensive when it is ignored until the first warm Saturday. A quick pressure check before that first ride is the cheapest fix on the list. Palermo is about 10 miles from the shop, up Palermo Road and Lone Tree Road to CA-70, so a battery test or a spring check is a short trip rather than a project.
We also carry HardDrive and Dunlop, plus exclusive suspension components. If we do not have the part on the shelf, we will get it in.

Start with the battery, since a weak one is the most common reason. Stale fuel is next on the list. If a charged battery and fresh fuel do not wake it up, it needs a real diagnosis instead of more guessing.
If the bike goes weeks between rides, a smart maintainer is worth having. It keeps the battery topped up without overcharging it, which helps it last longer.
Based on Montgomery St in Oroville, CA. Plenty of riders make the ride in from Durham, Berry Creek and Chico.
