Services

Regular safety inspections are the foundation of responsible motorcycling. War-Torn Cycles follows industry standard protocol detailed by Harley Davidson for a dealership quality inspection with the local trust and conversation that comes with being your independent shop. Our inspections cover the entire motorcycle, to include testing fluids, gauging tires and brake component wear, assessing and diagnosing leaks, securing loose fittings, and identifying signs of unusual wear. War-Torn inspects tires for cracks, dry rot and tread wear; checking the drive chain or belt for proper tension and lubrication; and ensuring that fasteners are tight and cables and controls move freely. A safety inspection also looks for fluid leaks, worn brake pads and malfunctioning lights, because catching these issues early reduces the risk of breakdowns and keeps you and your passenger safe.

Replacing tires is essential for performance and safety. War-Torn Cycles thoroughly inspects all tires beyond simple tread depth and wear, to include assessing age-related cracks or deformities, because tires deteriorate even when the bike isn't ridden and should be inspected annually with recommended replacement after 5 years. Unusual wear patterns signal mechanical problems, poor wheel balance, or mis-adjusted alignment. War-Torn can evaluate the causes and ensure the wheels are balanced and aligned to keep your bike riding smoothly and safely. War-Torn maintains on-hand quantities of Metzler Marathon 8888, Dunlop American Elite 2, and Michelin Commander 2 tires, with ordering capability across the spectrum of tires sizes and brands.

Engine oil is the lifeblood of a motorcycle. It reduces friction, cools components, carries away debris and protects against corrosion. Over time, heat and contaminants break down the oil's lubricating properties; delaying oil changes accelerates engine wear and can lead to costly damage. Replacing oil and filter at the manufacturer's recommended intervals-typically every 3,000 - 5,000 miles, with adjustments based on oil type, riding style and engine age-protects the engine and maintains optimal performance.

A full service at War-Torn Cycles goes beyond an oil change. Harley-Davidson's service interval standards provide our initial benchmark for assessment and recommendations. Routine 5,000- mile service includes fresh engine oil, transmission and primary fluid change, brake inspection and brake fluid testing, tire wear inspection and pressure check, battery test, belt or chain inspection and adjustment, lights and controls check, a full safety inspection and a test ride. During routine maintenance services, War-Torn changes the engine oil and inspect / change the primary (clutch case) and transmission fluids based on the mileage standard. War-Torn also checks and cleans or recommends replacement of the air filter (based on mileage standard) checks torque specs, inspect clutch and throttle cables, inspect belt tension, inspect brakes, lights and tires and perform a diagnostic road test.

War-Torn Cycles specializes in performance builds using Harley-Davidson's stage 1-4 system as the baseline template. However, at War-Torn Cycles we take a client-centered approach to conduct a one-on-one discussion and package build to ensure that each client receives exactly what they are looking to accomplish with their build.

• Stage 1: Improve airflow and fuel delivery for a simple bolt-on power boost. A Stage 1 kit combines a high-flow air filter, a less restrictive exhaust and an engine tuner to recalibrate the fuel map; this foundational upgrade increases performance by around 10 % and gives the bike a deeper, more aggressive sound.
• Stage 2: Add a cam upgrade to tailor the engine's character. Cam options focus on either torque or power; they modify valve lift, duration and timing to deliver up to 30 % more horsepower and 10 % more torque.
• Stage 3: Install big-bore cylinders, high-compression pistons and a performance cam to dramatically increase displacement and power. These kits use larger diameter cylinders and pistons along with supporting components; torque improves by up to 24 % and horsepower increases by 39 % without removing the engine from the frame.
• Stage 4: Top off the build with CNC-ported cylinder heads, a larger throttle body and high-lift camshaft to maximize airflow and velocity. A Stage 4 kit delivers around 24 % torque improvement and can boost horsepower by up to 50 %, with the upgrades targeting higher RPM power.

War-Torn Cycles is one of the area's only DynoJet certified Power Vision Tuning Centers and invest significant capital in continued education and training. This specialty provides War-Torn with the unique capability to provide your motorcycle with the highest quality tuning support to improve your engine's performance, increase rideability, and lengthen your bike's lifespan. Dyno tuning fine-tunes your motorcycle's engine using a chassis dynamometer to measure a host of data metrics to include, horsepower, torque, fuel-air ratio, ignition timing manifold pressure, battery voltage, and engine temperature to maximize output. The process often involves an initial evaluation, tuning adjustments, testing and final verification to ensure the engine produces smooth, usable power across the RPM range. Benefits include increased horsepower and torque, improved throttle response, better fuel efficiency and a tune customized for your specific modifications and riding style.

Coordinating a service appointment is easier with War-Torn Cycles' pick-up and drop-off option. Our team provides convenient transportation free of charge within a 30-min drive, meaning we come to your location to collect your bike and return it after service. This door-todoor approach spares you the hassle of arranging your own transport or trailer, saving you time and ensuring your motorcycle is handled safely with specialized equipment. Professional bike transport uses proper tie-downs and dedicated carriers designed to prevent damage in transit, so you have peace of mind that your ride is in good hands. By handling the logistics, we add flexibility to your schedule and make maintenance as stress-free as possible.

For riders, this service is invaluable in a variety of situations:

• Non-running or disabled bikes: If your motorcycle won't start or has suffered a breakdown, you can still get it to the shop without worry. We will safely pick up a non-running bike and deliver it to our facility for repair, avoiding any risky DIY towing attempts.
• Winter storage preparation: When it's too cold to safely ride, let us retrieve your bike for offseason storage. We'll transport it to our secure facility (and perform proper winterization) and have it ready to ride after spring servicing.
• Busy schedules: Work and family commitments can make it hard to find time to visit the shop. Our flexible pick-up scheduling lets you choose a convenient time and place for us to collect your motorcycle. We handle the pick-up and return delivery so you don't have to interrupt your routine.

Many motorcycles come with the option of an extended warranty or Extended Service Plan (ESP) that covers unexpected repair costs after the factory warranty expires. War-Torn Cycles is experienced in handling extended warranty motorcycle repair services, working with major warranty providers to ensure covered repairs are performed correctly with minimal hassle. We act as a liaison with your warranty company to process claims and obtain repair authorizations, so you don't have to navigate the paperwork or calls. These plans are typically honored at any licensed repair facility, not just dealerships, which means you can bring your bike to us for warranty work and still enjoy all the benefits of your coverage.

Having an extended service plan gives riders peace of mind that major failures won't lead to major bills. Our technicians perform eligible repairs to factory standards using quality OEM parts, ensuring the work maintains your bike's integrity. In most cases, all you pay is a small deductible - often around $50 per visit - and the warranty plan covers the rest, significantly reducing your out-of-pocket expenses. We make sure any critical component covered under your plan (engine, transmission, electrical system, and more) is fixed correctly and billed to the warranty provider, saving you money and getting you back on the road quickly.

Proper winter storage protects your motorcycle from corrosion and ensures it's ready to ride in spring. During winterization, it's important to change or check all fluids-engine oil, clutch and transmission oils, brake fluid and coolant-because old fluids become corrosive and brake fluid absorbs moisture. Contaminated oil should be replaced before storage to prevent corrosive deposits on engine bearings. Battery maintenance is critical: cleaning electrodes and keeping the battery on a tender prolongs life. Tires should be inspected for tread wear and proper inflation, with the tires resting on moisture absorbing pads to prevent tire weathering. Before storage, WarTorn conducts a full safety inspection to reduce the risk of issues or concerns populating duringstorage, treats the fuel system with a special additive to remove moisture and product the fuel lines, placing the motorcycle on a battery tender, and provides moisture absorbing padding for the wheels.

In spring, a second full safety inspection occurs and the clients are offered a 15% off discount on a full service, to include changing engine, transmission, and primary oil, checking coolant and brake fluid to ensure proper viscosity and safety; inspecting tires for cracks or unusual wear and ensuring correct pressure; lubricating and adjusting controls and cables; and checking brakes, air filters and fuel systems. By offering a winter storage package with a spring servicing, War-Torn Cycles provides a turnkey solution that preserves a bike during the off-season and prepares it forreliable riding when the weather improves.

Modern motorcycles use onboard computers to monitor fuel, ignition and emissions systems. Regular diagnostic scans retrieve diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that reveal problems before they cause major breakdowns. Early detection improves fuel efficiency, reduces emissions and lowers repair costs. Technicians use specialized tools to read fault codes, test wiring and battery health, compression testers for cylinder pressure, fuel pressure testers for proper fuel delivery, vacuum gauges for carburetor synchronization and ABS diagnostic tools for braking systems-to ensure safe and accurate repairs. Offering professional engine and electrical diagnostics underscores War-Torn Cycles' ability to identify and resolve issues quickly, improving reliability and performance.
