    Trying to be as brief as possible. SSR Lazer 5 moped. Damn thing starts and runs like a champ in the early morning, but only for about 10 to 20 minutes. There’s always an unpredictable moment when it has a sudden and near total loss of power and I have to limp it back home at about 2 or 3 miles...

    As the title says I have a 2015 Yamaha R3. A while ago I started having trouble with my bike when it would die at stop lights and take forever to get back on (electric died and everything). If I say at a light I would have to keep on the throttle a bit to keep it alive. eventually it just quit...

    Hey all. I don't have the space to go get something to actually play with, so I've been trying to learn about Harleys and restoring online. I'm probably running before walking since I'm learning the basics as I go along but found a step by step on restoring older bikes, so that's at least...

    Hey guys! I've been working on an old Honda XL250s and I thought I had it ready to go but I guess not. Since I've gotten it, (it was sitting outside in the sun for a few years) I've changed the oil and gas, completely cleaned the carb and cables, changed out the spark plug, and checked the...

    Hello All, I am new here. I ride a Honda CBR125r 2011 Model. It has had a replacement engine, and I have done about 1500 miles in total (400) on new engine). Anyway, into the issue. I went to start my bike yesterday, turned the key in the ignition to on and nothing happened. No electrics, no...

    I bought a ‘95 Honda shadow 600 and can use my pocket knife to turn it on as the previous owner broke his key in the ignition. Honda no longer makes the ignition/gas cap set for that model. Does anyone know of a replacement I can use or how to make a certain ignition work?

    I recently bought a '79 Suzuki GS750 as my first bike of my own, I've been riding off and on for the past two years. So in was right after all the snow melted, lots of gravel on the ground didn't see a patch on a turn, laid it out a block from my house. To the best of my knowledge, I sheered and...

    I got this nighthawk through a trade. The guy said he broke a key off in the ignition and he but t up the connectors trying to put a new one on. I need to know what the 3 brown wires do and also where to get those connectors to go into the cdi box.

    I've been working on a 1978 Honda CB400TII and I had it running for a little while before it died and has been starting sometimes and not other times ever since then. I did a bunch of tests on it today (it decided to run for a couple minutes) and they all seemed to meet the specifications. When...

    Odd problem... Have posted it elsewhere in the forum, but not really sure WHERE a problem like this belongs. Hoping to find a solution, ha, then I could leave you fine people alone for a spell. "Having a problem starting mine... 1980/1 Honda Custom Classic 440 Twin... runs for 30 minutes and...

    Hi all! I bought my first bike last fall, but it was too late in the season to have any real fun with it. I decided to get a jump ahead this year by dropping it off at a shop to have some work done, and it turns out my ignition coil is shot. Explains the loss of power, bad mileage, and other...

    Hi All, I've been wrenching on the above bike for a while, got it running, sometimes that is. It starts up, with more than the desired amount of kickstarts (electric start clicks but doesn't catch), and when it does. It won't idle unless its on the choke. To make things clear once it starts...
