Scheduled an appointment with Clay to have services performed on my bike. i arrived and was greeted by Clay. After completing some necessary paperwork, we discussed the issues surrounding the bike. I was impressed with how Clay explained different scenarios and possible situations. Clear and professional all the way through. He promised an update and within a few hours of returning to my office, Clay called with an excellent update. Just waiting on one item and I'm already convinced Pasta Performance will be my go to for my motorcycle needs! Also, what a great name! Who doesn't like "pasta"! read more

I have been going to pasta performance for years. clay has worked on my ducatis and bmws. I trust him and his work on my bikes. plus he's a nice dude. read more

Ended up finding out about this via a recommendation and I have to say it was an amazing experience here , I came pretty much thinking my bike was done for after needing to fix my quick shifter . Clay made sure I knew about every fix that was going on with my bike , And brought me in the garage to show me everything that was done. Not only that but Clay showed me examples of what the parts should do when working properly . This business has very reasonable prices especially for Ducati and helped me get my bike back on the road extremely fast . read more

Just want to thank you guys for helping a guy out. Called mid-afternoon about a bike that we won't mention because we'll... anyway it was a minor repair and we were in need for help and Clay got him rolling again. Thanks PPM! If I had an Italian, you'd be my first call read more

Clay is awesome! Even though he mainly deals with European bikes, he took time out of his busy schedule to fit in, my Yamaha FZ1. I told him that I thought I might be dealing with a fuel injection issue. I brought it in, in the morning, and he called me early afternoon; pinpointing the cause to be some loose wiring. Save me tons of money. I picked up the bike a couple days later and he spent time going over the bike with me and the services he provides. I'm 100% about customer service, and Clay exceeded my expectations. read more

Wanted to give a shout out to Clay. He's helped me get my track bike dialed in. I really appreciate how he spends his time to make recommendations and explains the why. "This is a better way to go because.....and based on my experiences you should do....." read more

Was my first visit for service. Was very impressed with the time taken by Clay to review service and make follow up recommendations since he is a one man show. Will definitely be back. read more

Had Clay do a service on my 2015 monster 821 after calling ahead for an appt. This place is appointment only. Service was front tire change and oil change. Went to Clay due to other high reviews of this place and his work. His prices were very fair for Ducati work and once he saw the bike in person, he took the time to explain all the services he was planning to do on the bike and why they were important. He also recommended I do a brake fluid flush (front and rear) since he inspected that the brake fluid reservoir had older looking fluid in it. Price was fair so I decided to move forward with that as well. My appointment was on Sunday and Clay had the bike ready next day. Overall great service and I can tell Clay def. knows his stuff. Will be back! read more

This is the only place to take your Ducati or BMW or any European bike in Sacramento. Many people come from the Bay Area too. Clay owns his own shop and is a master tech with BMW/Ducati. Other shops rush through the service because they are commission based in service. Those other shops will scratch your wheels, stripped bolts and poor work will result. Clay takes his time to do the job right and fair. read more

Clay was awesome today. He fit us in on a day that he wouldn't usually work, and replaced the rear tire on this Yamaha Raider. Hard to find someone open to do last minute work... and open on a Sunday! He's knowledgeable and he spent the time to explain different things about our tires. I would definitely recommend this shop if you need something done! Thanks Clay! read more

Pasta Performance Motorsport - Motorcycle Repair Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

I have been using Clay with not only my work fleet but my own personal bikes over a decade. The man is a master mechanic and you know you have found something special when you see the plethora of customer bikes in his shops, from the high end Ducati race bike to the one off custom Bimota's that show up in his garage. Clay is known throughout northern and central California as the man to go to. All my repairs have been done in a timely matter, Clay goes step by step on what he did and why he did what needed to be done. He truly has magic hands. Case in point, I brought him a 25 year old BMW that had been in a barn for 5 years and looked to be ready for the junk yard. Clay looked over the old Beemer and said he could have it running as good as new in a couple of weeks. True to form Clay had the bike back to road worthiness and ready to clip apexes with a fork rebuilds a valve adjustment, new tires, brake and clutch flushes and fluids throughout. Don't let the name fool you, he's a master at Ducati, BMW, sport bikes and even Harleys. Clay has been known to go above and beyond the customers, coming in on his days off, rescuing a broken down motorcycle, or mending an broken bike for a commuter so they could get home. When you call make sure you leave a message, he returns calls promptly. read more

Clay is amazing. This is the sort of shop everyone is really hoping to find. He can work on any bike, but especially when it comes to Ducati you should only go here! He is super knowledgeable, takes his time, presents options, speaks his mind, and has a clear passion for his trade. The suspension on my Ducati Monster 821 was way off, and he dialed it in for my weight and characteristics. My 600 mile service was reasonably priced and the bike clearly runs better. A+++ This will be my shop, period! read more

Clay was able to change the rear wheel bearings for my bike no problem. Other shops turned me away, including the dealer, and a shop supposedly for my type of bike. Don't hesitate to give this shop your business. He also does dyno tuning. He mostly works on European motorcycles, but if in doubt call and ask. Clay quoted me a price range depending on the level of difficulty for install & removal. The removal wound up being a huge pain, in the end he still only charged me the high range of his quite. I appreciate that very much, but I still gave him some extra for the extra work & time it took him to help me out. Thanks Clay! read more

I brought in my 2006 Multistrada that I had just bought. Clay took the time to go through what I may want to do and things I may want to do down road. New tires, chain, belts, oil change and brake & clutch fluids. Also took care of things that came up like wrong spark plugs installed for a fair price. Really happy with Clay's attention to detail and expertise. read more

Just had Clay work on my Monster. He is extremely knowledgeable and helpful and has reasonable pricing. I highly recommend taking your exotic bike here. read more

Clay is a great guy with lots of knowledge to share. Quality shop.

I went there to get my tires removed and placed on new motorcycle. I was charged $270 for an hour of work, though invoices showed almost 3 hours charged for work. I called a local dealer which quotes me $150 for the same job. If I were you I'd find another place, he's way over priced and does sloppy job. read more

I highly recommend Pasta Performance Motorsport! The owner, Clay Parkinson, is amazing! He is VERY knowledgeable about all aspects of motorcycles. He has worked at the dealership & other motorcycle shops. He owns his own business and is very much about taking care of his customers. I needed new tires for my Kawasaki Ninja 250. He was the ONLY shop open on a Sunday. He ordered my tires and indicated he was 3-4 weeks booked out with work, however, he would do his best to get them changed out once they came in. The tires arrived within a few days and I dropped it off on Sunday. He had my new tires on by the next day!! Excellent customer service, all the way around. My motorcycle is nothing fancy, however, Clay still managed to fit me in to his already booked schedule. My boyfriend & I will be taking our motorcycles here from here on out. Thanks again Clay!! read more

Excellent place! The owner is great to work with and is honest. I will be taking my bike there again.

This review is for Clay. I stopped in to ask some questions around mufflers and even though there was nothing to sell me Clay spent at least 30 minutes educating me on the best choices for me and answering my questions. I am a new rider and he took the time to offer some really thoughtful advice which I can apply in my day to day. Clay was in no hurry to make a sale and I appreciated his time and advice. I will return to give him my business when the opportunity arises. read more

I was referred to Clay by a good friend and have to say I was not disappointed. My '06 Triumph Daytona 675 needed some TLC, and Clay did an excellent job. The work that was done: all the usual stuff for routine service interval, new spark plugs, all new fluids, new chain, new tires, adjust clutch and throttle cables, new air filter... I'm sure I'm missing something else, but that's the bulk of it. Sure, all that set me back a bit, but you definitely get what you pay for. He knocked it out in just a few days, and when I got it back it felt like a brand new bike again. He also advised me of a few recalls still pending, and referred me over to the Elk Grove dealer to get those handled free of charge. The only negative I can even say about this shop is that I found it too late, just weeks before moving out of state. This is the kind of shop you strive to find since you can trust the work and know you're getting what you pay for. read more

Wow what an experience. Absolutely professional and knowledgeable. Helped save my bike from my own mistake. Completely reasonable prices. Would completely recommend to family and friends. read more

I brought my old motorcycle in for several tuneup related services. This included replacement of the in-tank fuel filter. Within 15 miles of having that done my fuel gauge became inoperable. And then while still on the same tank of gas after the service, my fuel pump only worked intermittently. I cannot say for certain that there is a relationship between the two problems and the work that was done. However, I can tell you that before I had the fuel filter replaced my fuel gauge worked fine and I had no troubles with my fuel pump. read more

If you want the best maintenance and performance out of your motorcycle, this is definitely a place to check out. The prices are very reasonable, but more importantly, this is the place to go for performance that you are looking for on track day or on the street. Clay works on not only Ducati, but also Apilia, BMW, and all other metric bikes (Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, etc.). Extremely knowledgeable, but also patient and willing to explain WHY things needs to be done and HOW they will help your bike run at it's top most peak performance. Plus he tries his best to be a part of the motorcycle community at Ducati Nights and other events to help inform riders about adjustments that can be made to improve your riding experience. read more

Took my Aprilia RSV4 in for the first service. Clay was great. He gave helpful advice and everything was a fair price and completed timely. You have my service from now on. He explained what he did and then I was able to schedule a time to have the suspension adjusted. Walked me through every step of how to adjust the suspension and made this Italian beauty even more smooth. Thank you. read more

Went here to get my bike serviced, was referred by another friend who also had work done there at their shop on his bike before. He neglected to tell me that the staff and members of the team were very unprofessional. Not only wear they rude, they're customer service was not up to par. I do not recommend you go to this place, because that was not the worst issue the issue was I came to the shop to get my bike fixed and left with the same problem after paying them upwards of $400. If I had not been in a tight squeeze in needed to get my bike worked on immediately that day I would never would have gone there and I do not advise you to go there either. read more

I just realized today that my previous review was not saved so here I go again. Clay is exceptional at what he does, he is very knowledgable, super fast and have always been satisfied with his quality work. I have taken my bikes for major and minor repairs and service, no matter what it was he always dealt with it professionally and accurately. He was particularly good in "diagnosing" my old bike too but hopefully we will not be needing any more of that with my new bike. Great to have a local business that does quality work-Thanks for everything Clay! read more

Clay is an excellent Ducati mechanic. In two days he accomplished what no one else could in two years, he dialed in the ECU mapping of my 2012 Multistrada so it finally ran smooth at low RPM's. When the bike was new a LEO VINCE complete exhaust system was installed by another local shop and the ECU was flashed. I was told that the bike would run rough at low RPM's as a consequence, (it also backfired on decel). I finally get fed up with how rough it ran and took it to Clay at Pasta Performance. After a custom re-map and synching of the throttle bodies, not only is the throttle roll-on smooth down low, it also pulls harder in the mid range, and no popping on decel. Great to have a competent mechanic nearby. I wont be driving to Roseville for service any more. Clay is competent, fast, and fair. read more

Brought my bike in and initially told it would be probably a couple weeks, but the next day he had it done. Even cleaned up a few other things I didn't notice before. Very reasonable pricing. Bike runs like a top now! read more

Clay is an exquisite craftsman. Professional and quick job, with reasonable price. He prioritizes being able to meet customer's wishes.
