When your engine’s tired, worn out, or just plain not right, it’s time to go deeper than a tune-up. Whether you’re chasing lost power, dealing with internal damage, or reviving a bike that’s been sitting for too long, major engine work is how you bring it back to life.

At Imperial, we’ve torn down and rebuilt more engines than we can count. And we don’t just bolt things back together—we do it right, with the attention and care your bike deserves.

Signs You Might Need Engine Work

Not every issue calls for a full rebuild, but here are some common red flags:

• Your engine is knocking, smoking, or running rough
• You’ve lost power, compression, or throttle response
• The bike’s burning oil or leaking fluids
• You just bought a project bike that’s been sitting forever
• A dealership quoted you something insane and vague

Bring it in—we’ll tell you what’s really going on and whether you’re looking at a full overhaul or just some targeted repairs.

What We Can Do

No two engine jobs are the same, but here’s the kind of work we handle in-house:

• Top-end and bottom-end rebuilds
• Valve adjustments and replacements
• Piston, ring, and cylinder work
• Camshaft and timing chain replacement
• Full diagnostic teardown and assessment
• Clutch and transmission repairs

We work on most makes and models—Ducati, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Triumph, and more—and we’re always honest about what’s worth fixing, and what isn’t.

Why Riders Come to Us (Not the Dealership)

You’re not just paying for the repair—you’re trusting someone with your engine. Here’s why riders keep coming back to Imperial:

• Decades of hands-on experience with high-performance and vintage bikes
• No BS advice—we’ll walk you through what your bike needs and why
• Clear communication and updates throughout the process
• Quality parts—OEM or aftermarket, depending on your needs and budget
• Work that lasts—because breakdowns suck, and comebacks cost more
