Titanium Cranium Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Hey guys, I'm in need of a referral to a good shop in or around Dayton to work on my CBR 600RR. It just flat out stopped running during the winter and everything I've tried has failed to get it running again. I have a feeling it may be the cam/timing chain tensioner but I need to get it to a reputable mechanic to have it at least diagnosed but most likely repaired as I fear it may be beyond my mechanical ability because of my limited knowledge. The issue that concerns me is that this bike has my AMA Supersport Spec. motor in it, so I need someone who has experience with race motors in case it turns out to be something worse than I already fear, and required tear-down. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idodishez Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 The smaller shop type guys I know are in Cincy or C-bus area. Locally Ive heard good things about Vista Kawasaki, and would probably have to say Ive had good luck with them personally. Jury is still out a little, as they told me I needed a motor rebuild for a no start on my YZ250, and Im not quite sure I buy that yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohdaho Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 AfroCBR took his honda up to Honda Powersports of Troy. His new engine is in and operational, not sure what his review of the shop is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsn3485 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 AfroCBR took his honda up to Honda Powersports of Troy. His new engine is in and operational, not sure what his review of the shop is.I've heard decent things about them. Locally there isn't much option in the Dayton area for a good shop...

AfroCBR Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 AfroCBR took his honda up to Honda Powersports of Troy. His new engine is in and operational, not sure what his review of the shop is.Ohdaho speaks the truth....I brought my bike to Honda Powersports of Troy....they disassembled my old engine, found the problem, and put in the new engine...it cost right around $900 out the door....I own and run a shop in cinci and I can hook u up lol^^^This guy here is a reputable mechanic....may likely cost you less than the Honda shop....Hope this helps brother..

Titanium Cranium Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I appreciate the info guys. Gixxie750 I'll send you a pm to see about giving you a call about the repairs. Do you know the approx. distance from the south Dayton area to your shop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rctaylor Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 His shop is at 3926 Eastern Ave, Cincinnati.It takes me just under an hour to get there from Sinclair, right downtown. I think I clock about 55 miles on my odo.And as said before, he will probably save you a bunch of money even equating gas down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
