This isn’t ChatGPT with a motorcycle sticker.

ShopDog is a retrieval system trained on 11,798 pages from 46 original factory service manuals. Answers are pulled directly from the factory service manual. If it isn’t certain, it doesn’t answer.

Float heights, valve clearances, primary chain tension, ignition timing. You get the right number so you can set it once and move on with confidence.

Wireframe motorcycle with procedural part callouts

Tested on 400 questions. 99% right.

We ran ShopDog through a 400 question exam, from torque specs to fork oil changes to carb syncs across a range of bikes, and it scored 99%. When the wrong spec can cost you an engine, accuracy isn't a nice-to-have.

Founder Story

Built by riders, not a pitch deck.

It all started with a 1979 Shovelhead. Carb tuning that wouldn’t hold, electrical gremlins with no source, a transmission seal that fought back. I spent more nights cross-referencing forum threads than riding, ordering the wrong parts, and watching it sit on the stand.

So I built the tool I wanted. Trained on factory service manuals, not scattered guesswork. Real diagnostics, photo analysis, parts diagrams on your phone, maintenance you can track and real accuracy you can trust.

The knowledge a 1978 dealership mechanic had, minus the dust, minus the forum scrolling.
