OLD-SCHOOL HONDA.
PROPERLY SORTED.
Honda XRs are simple, tough motorcycles, but age, poor repairs and years of hard use can create problems that basic servicing will not fix.
Garage Eleven works through the motorcycle properly — engine condition, carburetion, valve train, ignition, chassis and suspension — so the bike starts, runs and rides as it should.

Honda XR workshop focus
LESS GUESSWORK.
MORE PROPER DIAGNOSIS.
We break the page up with real workshop imagery because XR work is not just about replacing parts. Diagnosis, engine condition and clean assembly matter just as much as the finished look.
Engine work
FROM TOP-END REPAIRS TO COMPLETE REBUILDS.

Honda XR services
WHAT WE
DO.
From a hard-starting XR that has sat for years to a complete mechanical restoration, we tailor the job to the bike and how you intend to use it.
ENGINE REBUILDS
Bottom-end and top-end rebuilding, crankshaft inspection, bearings, seals, cylinder work and final assembly.
CYLINDER HEAD & VALVES
Valve clearances, cam and rocker inspection, timing checks, worn valve train diagnosis and cylinder-head repair.
CARBURETTOR & JETTING
Carburettor cleaning, float-height correction, fuel-system repair, jetting and throttle-response setup.
NO-START DIAGNOSIS
Spark, fuel, compression and mechanical timing testing to identify the actual cause of hard starting or no start.
SUSPENSION & CHASSIS
Fork and shock servicing, bearings, steering, brakes, wheel inspection and setup for rider weight and use.
RECOMMISSIONING
Bringing stored or neglected XRs back into reliable use with a structured mechanical inspection and repair plan.
CLUTCH & GEARBOX
Clutch faults, shift problems, gearbox inspection, selector mechanisms and internal engine repair.
ELECTRICAL REPAIRS
Ignition faults, stator and coil testing, wiring repairs, charging-system diagnosis and lighting issues.
RESTORATION WORK
Mechanical restoration, refinishing, hardware replacement and assembly for riders or collector-quality builds.
More than just service items
ENGINE, CHASSIS AND THE DETAILS IN BETWEEN.
XR work often becomes a combination of fuel-system repair, top-end diagnosis, chassis attention and correcting old repairs. Breaking the page up visually makes that clearer than a wall of text ever could.
Common XR problems
SYMPTOMS WE
TRACK DOWN.
HARD STARTING
Hot or cold starting problems, flooding, incorrect valve clearances, weak spark or fuel delivery faults.
SMOKING OR OIL USE
Worn rings, bore condition, valve-guide wear, breather issues or previous incorrect engine work.
TOP-END NOISE
Cam-chain, tensioner, rocker, camshaft, valve-clearance and cylinder-head inspection.
FLAT OR HESITANT RUNNING
Carburettor wear, blocked circuits, incorrect jetting, air leaks or ignition faults.
POOR SHIFTING
Clutch drag, selector wear, damaged shift mechanisms or internal gearbox problems.

PARTS CHANGING.
Older XRs often arrive with several faults layered on top of each other. We diagnose the motorcycle as a complete system instead of guessing.

Inspect firstWe assess the bike and establish what is actually wrong.
02
Quote the real jobYou receive a clear repair direction before major work starts.
03
Build it for its purposeTrail bike, road-registered bike, farm bike, vintage rider or restoration.
04
Test the finished motorcycleFinal setup, starting, running and function checks before handover.
