Hey everyone, My Name is Andy, I work at a custom bike shop in Philly where we are currently restoring vintage Japanese bikes, mostly from the 1970's. I'm joining the forum hoping for community assistance on some of the bikes I'm building. I also hope to help others with their own projects...

My GZ250 was running fine and then I forgot to pick the kickstand up before taking off. So the kickstand safety switch turned the engine off as I tried to roll off. I then proceeded to start my bike again but this time it did not want to start. The bike just continuously turns but does not fire...

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...

Hi Guys, My 2007 Suzuki GS500 will not shift above fourth gear and has difficulty getting into neutral. This problem is new after winter storage. With the engine off and shifting the gear shift lever by hand the gears make moderately loud clunks with an attempt into fifth gear making a click...

Hello First time owner here with a Suzuki Bandit GSF250 Recently I had a busted solenoid. My lights could turn on but the bike but all I got when I tried to turn it on was a clicking from the solenoid. I was able to jump start it with the screwdriver trick (using a screwdriver to connect the +...

Hello there, I have a 1997 Suzuki katana GSX600 that i am trying to repair to run smoothly. I just cleaned the carbs and put it all back together, got new spark plugs and battery, and put it all back together for its first start up... when i went to start it up i pressed the start button and...

Hey, so to start off, new to the forum. I can't figure out what's wrong with my bike and therefore how to fix it, best to my knowledge it may be my crank shaft. My bike had a new battery and the carbs were all rebuilt along with an inline fuel filter. I was riding and my bike started to have...

I wasn't sure exactly where to put this, but since it goes under the "I don't know much about motorcycles" heading, this is probably the closest. My husband wants me, for his birthday, to find a tolerable-to-me passenger seat for his motorbike. Previously, he had a 1982 Honda CM450C, and the...

I just rebuilt the Carb on my 1981 Suzuki GN400XX and got the bike started but it seems as if my engine is idling at a higher RPM and acceleration is now very sluggish. I'm pretty new to riding and this is my first time rebuilding a carb. Did I so something wrong? Any and all help would be...

New rider here looking for some help. Purchased a used (obviously) 1981 Suzuki GS550t about a month ago. Rode it home after I purchased it and again the next day and didn't have any troubles. I've been out of town the last three weeks for work. I tried to ride it again this morning and have been...

I have a 1971 suzuki 90 enduro that seems to not be catching gears. I was riding down the road when it slowed down to a stop. When i crank it up(which it does easily) and try to go into first or any other gear it doesnt move but it also doesn't stall out when i release the clutch. I can hear the...

So I recently bought a gsx750f katana street fighter custom on Craigslist for 750 dollars, obviously the price alone says there's something wrong, but when I bought it he just said it was a carburetor issue, but even though the fuel line is extremely dirty, I don't think that's the only issue. I...

Hey, everyone. I have another problem, unfortunately. Well, I have had it for the last month, but am only addressing it now because I am sick of it. For reasons unknown to me, there seems to be a high pitched noise coming from the clutch cable near the speedometer. This usually only happens when...

Hey everyone, Yesterday I had my first wreck after only having my bike a month. I always follow the speed limit and obey traffic rules so please don't call me out saying it was my fault or anything. I have a 2007 Suzuki GSXR-750. If you don't know there is a recall on my year on the master...

Hello all, It's been quite some time since I have visited this forum, been out of high school since 2012 and work is my life now. It sucks having to grow up! Anyways I have had a 1973 Suzuki TS185 dual sport/enduro bike for quite some time and it use to run good back in about 2009 when I...

Hello everyone! I bought a 2007 GSXR-750 last month and I love it. Im 21 years old and have wanted to ride as long as I can remember. My grandfather used to own a motorcycle shop but he died when I was 4. Anyways if anyone is in the area please let me know so we can meet up and ride! I go to...

Hey guys, I'm currently trying to fix up a 1974 Suzuki TS185, and unfortunately the previous owner bent the forks and attempted to straighten them back out (unsuccessfully). I'm having trouble finding a pair of forks that are suitable to replace the current bent ones, and was wondering if...

I live in Oklahoma and my wife and I are planning on moving to either Germany or Scotland in about a year, and we want to start the move with a 2-6 month motorcycle tour across Europe. Has anyone used a Boulevard C90 for a long distance trip like this? Also I need some information about...

Hey, I have a 2007 Suzuki DR650 (completely stock!) 12,000 miles and I just cant seem to get it right! I have been fighting it for almost a year. so any advice will be much appreciated. It runs fine at low rpm, starts great but at probably 3000 rpm it cuts out and backfires and it does not come...
