This shop is a total scam with incompetent mechanics. I brought my 1982 Yamaha to Life Cycle in the early spring of 2017 due to the rear cylinder back firing during acceleration. I informed them that the bike would run normally (at reduced power) if one of either the front or rear cylinder spark leads was disconnected, and that the stator was also putting out the correct amount of voltage. Now I’m not a motorcycle mechanic and I figured that this was an issue that would be simpler to be diagnosed by a paid professional and that was why I brought my bike to Life Cycle in Portage. I was required to pay $50.00 at the time that dropped the bike off to their shop to cover the diagnosing fee, which I didn’t find too unreasonable but it was odd to pay in advance. After they had the vehicle a week I called to check in on their progress. They told me that they were not even able to get the bike to start and that they had many hours into trying to get it to start. This is funny considering that I drove the bike to their shop, and also HOME from their shop. So I went to the shop and jumped the bike which now had a dead battery with my car and it started immediately. What took them “many hours” I did in five minutes. Once running I tried to have them come look at the bike while it was running because I was concerned that they might not be able to get it running again for God knows what reason. Unfortunately they were too busy trying to fix an ABS system they broke during a normal tire change to help me work on the bike I had already paid them to look at. After 6 hours of waiting I decided that Life Cycle is not a reputable shop so I went to collect my keys at which point the owner informed me that I had a bill for the additional hours they spent jerking each other off trying to start the bike. I recommend going to any other shop over Life Cycle. They will take advantage of you!

These folks are knowledgeable, and easy to work with. Not a boutique dealer, these are motorcycle people.!!

Awesome shop with a good variety of gear and bikes. The owner was very personable, helped me select a nice pair of winter gloves and pants that suited me and my budget. Not a pushy salesman, really just trying to get the best product to fit their consumers' needs. He went above and beyond granting me a discount on the pants even though they weren't technically included in the sale that was going on. Thank you Life Cycle, will definitely be back again!

Dropped off some carbs from my Kawasaki to be cleaned and nothing was cleaned. Gave me a price for the cleaning and charged me a higher price. They said everything looked good and put it back together. But they never took it apart. I brought it to another company that was highly recommended by a life time friend and motorcycle rider and they found a few bad parts that need replacing. Even showed me the bad parts. I give life cycle a 0 stars and they will never touch my bike ever. This place will rob you and charge you for them doing nothing. Do not bring your motorcycle here.

They were very helpful and assisted me quickly with the service work I needed.
