These boys are highly skilled at their craft. Highly recommended. Cant be beat. Thanks teddy

I’m new to Boyko racing I was referred by a guy from a bike shop. Needed to get my bike tuned and I called teddy he told me to bring my bike in and he would hook it up. Once I got there teddy greeted me. Hung around and talked with teddy he should me around the shop. He told me my bike would be ready Friday and it was done on time. Pick up my and chatted with teddy for a while I feel like family when I’m there. Teddy is one of the coolest guys you’ll meet. So if you need your bike worked on you should definitely take your bike there they do great work. I will definitely bring my bike back for teddy to work for years to come.

2004 Honda TRX450R
I was tired of racing from all of the modified engine problems I was having, so I tried Teddy and KC at Boyko Racing. They did a top end rebuild. They put a new piston, rings, honed the cylinder, plus installed a water pump, new clutch cover, and tuned the motor according to my intake set up. I got my ATV back a day before my WORCS two round race weekend. They did some cold starts on the motor and I did a few more on the road heading to the race. Didn’t know what to expect. The motor ran great! Didn’t puff smoke, didn’t run rich/​lean (no lean pop), and it idled! Idled at the gate and down hills! I ran a 21 minute practice, 4 one hour races on the toughest WORCS course in 90+ degree weather. I almost grabbed holeshot 3 out of 4 times. I didn’t have to grab the clutch in the down hills or turns and had responsive power thanks to the tuning. I got two 2^nd place trophies in 30+! These guys know motors and racing. I’m glad I found Boyko Racing and look forward to racing again!

If you want honest hard working mechanics then you have the right guys! We always have them go thru our cars and dirt bikes to make sure all good for riding season. They are a pleasure to do business and we trust them completely. We have a 800 razor, 900 razor and a Kawasaki 250.

Love the guys at Boyko Racing. Everyone is super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. They will never steer you in the wrong direction. They are super honest with what will work best for your particular bike and riding style and they will not try to sell you anything you don’t need. I just got an exhaust system for my brand new bike from Teddy and when it’s time to service the bike I am taking it straight to Teddy! Awesome guys!

Good machine shops are like gold mines to us old bike enthusiasts. When you find one, you don’t want to tell anybody, but it looks like the word is already out. Great work and fair prices.
Thanks Ted and Casey, and best wishes on your continued success.

New customer to Boyko Racing and fairly new to the motorcycle scene. Had some trouble with my new exhaust (stripped/​seized bolt) which Teddy was able to fix in no time. I was blown away by first impressions. Did a walk in and soon after I was getting a tour of the shop. Teddy and Casey are super passionate about their work and it really shows through their work and service. Even went beyond to offer extra help that was not at all related to the work I needed done.
For those who are new or stuck on a build, STOP AND GIVE TEDDY A CALL! Guy really knows his stuff and will help you out in anyway he can. Really hard to find such a quality shop nowadays. Will definitely be going back.

Teddy is the best, he even picked my bike up. He goes out of his way to satisfy you. Best motorcycle mechanic I’ve come across. Thanks Teddy.

I am a new customer to Boyko Racing. To be honest I wasn’t really sure whether to go there or not based on their website. It seemed their focus was more on building motorcycle race motors or working with dirt bikes rather than «normal» bikes. I decided to stop by but unfortunately the first time I did they were closed when I got there. I blame OC traffic for that but I was undeterred and came back another day.
Finally I had a chance to meet with Teddy, the owner. Ted is really a larger than life type personality. For some people that might be a bit over whelming as he is so enthusiastic about everything he does. It is obvious he has a passion for motorcycling as strong as I do. I explained that I don’t live in the OC area but am working here and basically living out of a hotel for a while. So while I am very mechanically inclined, I have neither a place nor tools to work on my bike. I basically needed someone to do the work I’d normally do for myself but had neither the tools nor place to do it.
Teddy took me around the shop and introduced me to his sidekick, Casey. Think Batman and Robin but shorter. Casey reminds me of myself at a that age. Anything with wheels, motors or wings was my passion. While Casey may not have the years that Teddy does in this business, it is obvious he shares his attention to detail and has been a very studious understudy.
After a brief tour of the shop, I was sold and made an appointment to have my bike brought in to add some accessories. I knew exactly what I wanted and had procured my own accessories to be installed. Most bike shops would like to make a few extra bucks if they can sell you something, Teddy wasn’t that way. Not to mention most of what I wanted to add wouldn’t be found in a Tucker-​Rocky catalog or Parts Unlimited. He can get you what you need but at the same time he is more than happy to work with what you bring.
As mentioned by other users, they do more than just what you ask them to do. They look over things to make sure that your bike is safe and ridable. I had just bought this bike used from a local dealer and I was not impressed with the bike as I received it but had no way of correcting some of the things. Even though the dealer tacked on some crazy $ 400 fee for making sure all was good with it. It was obvious they never checked coolant levels, chain condition, etc. I am not going to quibble about that too much as I ultimately bought at a price I was willing to pay and was aware of most of the issues. Casey found a few more while going through the bike. It sure helps to be able to put the bike on a lift and work on it.
What I can say is they have very good attention to detail. I had a big laundry list of items and not a lot of time to get them all done before a trip. I told them do what you can. I can bring it back another day but to focus on a few key items I needed for my trip such as lighting upgrades, better gearing, etc. This was for my sport touring bike. It seems like they are equally at home with these types of bikes as they are others.
If you need high performance motor work as well, this is definitely the place to go. They do cylinder boring, porting, polishing, etc. Teddy worked for some very famous pro racers as their motor builder. If his work was good enough for them to have consistent podium finishes, then likely you’ll be pleased with it as well.
Of course you can’t please all of the people all of the time. I am sure they’ll be someone who isn’t happy with something, some day. If you like someone who will take great care of you and treat you like a long lost friend, then definitely stop by Boyko Racing and see Teddy and Casey. If you are looking for some smooth talking shop that wants to sell you all kinds of services you might not need, then ride on by. Likely if they say you need something done, then you should listen to them. Teddy is a bit rough around the edges in a good sense. He isn’t going to sugar coat much of anything.
I am a stickler for details and normally do my own work. When I picked up my bike they had done almost everything exactly as I would have done it. I come from an aerospace background and any lack of attention to detail can kill you there. Same is true of a bike. All things were cable tied nicely, organized in a logically way and everything was done in a tidy manner. If I could give this shop 6 stars I would. This is not some fly-​by-​night operation that doesn’t have insurance and has a high turnover of personnel. Basically it is a 2 man shop that eats, sleeps and breathes motorcycle. Then again there is no waiting room either. What you get with Boyko Racing is GREAT work, attention to detail and all at a reasonable price. I can’t see any reason to go anywhere else. Stop by and check them out, you’ll be glad you did.

Teddy made my 2001 SV650 like new. He rebuilt the carb, put on new chain and sprockets and tuned the bike to run like a dream. Thanks, Teddy. Great job.

Teddy and Casey have the knowledge and skill to get your motorcycle running well and they go beyond that by educating on proper care and maintenance. They have a passion for what they do and I enjoy how personable they are as well.

Teddy (Boyko) and Casey really know their stuff when i comes to anything motorcycle related! I took my 1975 Yamaha XS650 to them to have the motor rebuilt… ending up having them finish building the bike! Wiring and everything. Most shops I went to before did not know how to work on a 1975 Yamaha or anything that had carbs… haha. But Teddy and Casey know old bikes like the back of their hand.
After the Yamaha was finished, I purchased a 1998 Harley Sportster (1200 cc) from one of Teddy’s old customers. Teddy and Casey hooked the bike up before I rode away on it (since the bike had been sitting for 2+ years. Cleaned out the carbs, changed the trany fuild and gave the entire bike a solid once over.
I you have a 2 wheels machine, Boyko Racing is the place to go; Shit, if you have a a Seadoo or ATV, he could likely do that too.
See you soon Casey and Teddy.
PS: If you have another deal on a Harley, let me know… gotta add to the collection!

I looked at 4 or 5 different shops before I came here including M2 Motoworks, Cycledoctor, Riders Revelation and more, most with many more 5-​star Unilocal reviews than Boyko Racing. All of them either couldn’t fit me in their schedule for a week or more, were very expensive, or didn’t answer their phone or return my voicemail. Ted at Boyko Racing also had a busy schedule but said I could come by that afternoon and he’d fit me in.
I have a 2006 Honda Shadow Spirit 750. I primarily needed a new set of tires installed that I had purchased previously, which Ted was charging much less for than anywhere else, but I also needed an oil change and some other stuff. They went above and beyond what I asked for, cleaning the whole bike from front to back and lubing the chain (which really needed some attention), steering column, joints, etc. My brakes are more sensitive now, steering is easier, I’ve noticed a big difference in the clutch and throttle performance, basically it feels like I’m riding a new bike.
I’ll be recommending Boyko Racing to everyone I know and they’ve earned my business for life.

No B.S. honest mechanic. I brought my bike here because another shop (KTM dealership) screwed it up and Teddy did an awesome job repairing their screw up. I’ve been to every KTM dealership in Orange County and will never go back to any of them. I trust Teddy and Casey with my bikes.

Boyko Racing is the best motorcycle shop in SoCal; they are the only shop in the area that knows how to repair new & old bikes. Teddy has a wealth of knowledge with his decades of experience; he and Casey are very knowledgeable on preventing problems and troubleshooting issues that arise on bikes. Great guys and outstanding customer service. The only shop in SoCal for bike repairs or modifications is Boyko Racing. I have been riding for 30 years and I’m so thankful to have a shop close to my home that knows what they are doing and that I trust with all of my Motorcycle, ATV, and UTV repairs.

I always have a great experience when coming here. They are very knowledgeable and know how to take care of your bike. I’m in and out of the shop quite often and wouldn’t go anywhere else. They even teach you how to maintain your bike for years to come.

I doubt there are many people with as much knowledge as Teddy when it comes to any aspect of any engine repair, service or tuning, this guy has built bikes for legendary riders, and continues to be the standard which all others are judged, you won’t be dissappointed.

I have been through many mechanics and have finally found one that takes pride in his work and respects the customers wishes. He believes in safety and doing what’s right. He is a solo mechanic and I hate to use that term to describe him because he is more then that. He certainly isn’t the guy the works on my bike he is someone you get to know. I would highly recommend Boyko Racing for all you servicing and well for any issues you might have on your motorcycle. He has brought back the honesty.

I’ve known Teddy Boyko for many years, and was pretty stoked when he made the move after being the long-​term service department manager at Mission Motorsports, to set up his own motorcycle /​powersports service shop as Boyko Racing in Costa Mesa.
While Teddy’s been a factory race mechanic back in the day (and his legendary skills as a motor man /​porting /​polishing expert make him worthy of the Hall of Fame), he is set up with the skills, tools, machinery, and equipment to work on ANY kind of powersports vehicle in his shop. MX /​Dirt /​Off-​Road, Street, Touring, ATV, Side x Sides, Adventure Bikes, Cruisers, Harley-​Davidson — anything with a motor and a throttle are fair game, and Teddy can do the work.
You know how great it is to find a great go-​to local auto mechanic that can fix whatever is wrong with your vehicle, and give you the straight facts about what’s wrong, what it needs, reasonable expectations of what it’ll all cost, and how long it will take? Teddy is THAT GUY for your motorcycle and powersports needs. Casey is his assistant in the shop, and is very capable for doing the work on most everything that comes through the door — better than most of the mechanics at any local franchised dealership. And — while Boyko Racing happens to be conveniently local to me in Orange Country — they can also do engine work & repair via mail order /​UPS from anywhere in the country.
There aren’t many places that you can trust to do the job right the first time with the «mission-​critical» repair work. The hard stuff like doing new cylinder sleeves, porting, pistons /​rings, carburetor cleaning and tuning, fixing electrical issues, wiring, all those things that are beyond the skills of your own capacity, or even those of other shops — will get done reliably, affordably, promptly, and efficiently at Boyko Racing.
I own one of the lamest (and hardest-​to-​work-​on) motorcycles that Honda has ever made — the PC 800 /​Pacific Coast, a mid-​size 800cc commuter /​touring bike. The bike has had a number of problems during time I’ve owned it, and every time I’ve needed to have it fixed right — Boyko Racing was the place that got it done. I’ve taken it to local dealers a couple times, and inevitably whatever problems I had with the bike would continue shortly after I brought it back. I’ve had Boyko Racing completely rebuild the carburetors, rebuild the wire harness, replace the clutch, and even the normal stuff like installing new tires and batteries — all done there, done right.
Save yourself the money, the time, the drama, the pain, and the suffering — just take your bike (s) to Boyko Racing the first time. You’ll be a customer for life.
PS — Teddy LOVES to chat and tell stories with his customers — I’d subtract a star possibly because I have to allow extra time every time I’m at the shop to bench race with Teddy — but, really, I can’t…that just makes it that much more of a pleasure to do business with Boyko Racing — where else does that ever happen?
