Motorcycle Repair in Hillsboro, KS
The short answer
If your bike will not start after winter, runs rough, has soft brakes or is showing a warning light, Moxie can find the fault and get it back on the road, right here in Hillsboro.
It is the first warm Saturday in March, the back roads toward Lindsborg are calling, and the bike in the garage just clicks. You do not need to trailer it to a city dealer and wait weeks for a slot. We find the actual fault first, tell you what it needs and what it costs, and get you riding while the weather is still good. Load it up and bring it in, and we will take it from there.
Call or text (620) 416-0008. Describe the noise. We'll do the rest.
We answer texts the same day we get them.

Text us which onesWhat motorcycle repair at Moxie actually looks like
We find the fault before we replace anything. Many modern motorcycles have a computer that stores fault codes, the same as a car, so we read those and test the suspect part rather than guessing.
We look at the whole bike while it is here. Brakes, tires, the chain or belt and the battery all affect how safe a ride is, and we would rather point out a worn tire now than have you find it on a wet road.
We tell you straight what it needs, what it costs and what can safely wait. You approve the work and the price before anything is done, and nothing gets added along the way.

Motorcycle repair questions we hear every week
Why won't my motorcycle start after winter?
The most common reason is a battery that went flat while the bike sat, followed closely by stale fuel that has gummed up the fuel system. Motorcycle batteries are small and drain faster than car batteries, especially in the cold. If a charge does not bring it back, bring the bike to us and we will find out which it is.
How often should a motorcycle be serviced?
It depends on the bike, and your owner's manual has the exact schedule, usually set by miles or by months, whichever comes first. Many riders put fewer miles on in a season than the schedule expects, so a service before riding season each year is a sensible minimum. We are happy to look at your manual with you.
How much does motorcycle repair cost?
The cost depends on the bike and what is wrong with it. A battery or brake job is a very different size of repair from an engine or fuel system problem. We diagnose the fault first and give you a price before any work starts, so you decide with the real number in front of you. Text us what it is doing to get started.
