Welcome to Solo Cycles, where passion meets precision in the world of Harley Davidson Motorcycles. We're not just another repair shop; we're a testament to the transformative power of following one's dreams. Founded by Trinidad Varns, a certified motorcycle technician whose love for bikes turned into a thrilling career, Solo Cycles embodies the spirit of the open road and the meticulous care that keeps you riding. Our story is one of grit, expertise, and an unyielding commitment to the art and science of motorcycle maintenance.
Trinidad's love for motorcycles roared to life in 2017, setting off a chain reaction that would transform his world. What began as a captivating hobby quickly evolved into an all-consuming passion. Driven by an insatiable curiosity and a desire to understand these magnificent machines inside and out, Trinidad made the bold decision to turn his passion into his profession.
The road wasn't easy. By day, Trinidad immersed himself in the intricacies of motorcycle mechanics as an intern. By night, he mixed drinks as a bartender, supporting his family while never losing sight of his ultimate goal. This period of his life was a masterclass in determination, proving that with enough drive, any obstacle can be overcome.
With his certification finally in hand, Trinidad didn't just enter the world of motorcycle maintenance – he dove in headfirst. Today, motorcycles aren't just his job; they're his life. As Trinidad often says, "I eat, sleep, and breathe motorcycles." It's this unwavering dedication that forms the bedrock of Solo Cycles.

Regular maintenance is crucial for keeping your Harley Davidson running smoothly. It's generally recommended to have a full service every 5,000 miles. This includes changing the oil and oil filter, checking and adjusting the brakes, inspecting the tires, and ensuring all fluids are topped up. However, you should refer to your specific model's owner's manual for precise intervals and requirements.
The type of oil you use can significantly impact the performance and longevity of your motorcycle. Harley Davidson recommends using their branded oils, such as the Harley Davidson SYN3 Synthetic Motor Oil, which is formulated specifically for their engines, transmissions, and primary chaincases. However, if you're considering alternatives, make sure they meet the specifications outlined in your owner's manual.
Unusual noises can be concerning and may indicate an underlying issue. Common causes of strange noises include loose components, worn-out bearings, or issues with the exhaust system. It's important to identify the type of noise and when it occurs (e.g., during acceleration, idling, or braking). For accurate diagnosis and repair, it's best to consult with a qualified technician who can inspect your motorcycle in person.
