throttle

I have a Kawasaki ZZR600 and i've been having some carburetor issues with it. It sat for about 3 years and I decided to restore it. After giving it a carb cleaning it starts and idles, but dies when I take of the choke. Also, it stutters for a bit when i give it throttle, and to top things off...

Hi all! I couldn't find any other thread that really reflects the issue I am experiencing. So, here goes. I have a small 125cc, 2 cylinder motorbike. Lately, I've had issues with the throttle. - Bike starts fine, no problem. - When the bike is running, and I apply just a little throttle...

Hello, I own CBF1000 and i seem to have a problem (it was pinpointed at service) that Throttle position sensor is faulty (motorcycle stutters when revs are at some level - between 2k - 2.2k). But, the problem is that the original TPS (Keihin) is no where to be found and service which identified...

Hey guys, I'm a brand new rider. I got a used 2007 Kawasaki Ninja 250r the a couple of weeks ago and literally went on my first ride yesterday. I have another thread on how I fell and dropped the bike on a turn in another forum so I'll save that for there but this is related... My issue is I'm...

Recently bought a 1980 Honda CM400T which is in working order apart from this issue. When I give it a little throttle slowly and build it up I can run fine, but if I open the throttle quickly, for example, quick acceleration, it just bogs down and sputters as well as some backfiring and smoke...

So I don't know what the problem is with my bike. The carbs have been cleaned and so I don't think that should be the problem. When I turn on my bike and just sit on it, no throttle application, no changing in choke, nothing. The bike revs it self pretty high. Not to redline but it gets up...

So I took a bad fall on my 2007 yamaha v-star 1300 yesterday. I was riding down a back road at 25, it has been raining here in Vegas for a couple days and i didn't see the gravel in the road, and by the time I did I was already on it and lost all traction, my bike went out from under me and slid...

I was at work the other day and when I came out I found my cbr 600 had been hit by a car into another car. The mirror had been broken off and the throttle grip, bent. I attempted to take it home but something obviously was wrong. It felt like the gas was not being fed through the engine right...

This here beauty is a 1978 XL175. It is in need of some rebuilding and i was hoping you might be able to help me with a problem. For a while it was starting but would only idol with the choke on. If i shut the choke of it would stall and if i hit the throttle to much it would stall. I clean out...

Hi all. Coonass here. I just recently replaced the carb on my 78 twinstar CM185 with an ever so slightly different one. Since then, the throttle has had so much slack in the cable that if I were to twist it all the way out, I can twist it back about a quarter turn before theres even any...

I just recently bought a GL500 and have been fixing it up. It is almost ready to go, but there are a few remaining problems. First, whenever you roll on the throttle, the grip does not spring back as it should. I don't want to start riding it if the throttle could potentially stay at a high...

Ok so here's my deal... 1989 Honda VTR 250, V-twin (Also known as Honda Interceptor) Note 1 - the last time i had been out on the bike, i got a full tank of gas - i vaguely remember that i left the fuel tap on over night and i turned it off the very next morning! Note 2 - 2 rides before my...

Hi Everyone, First time poster, first time biker. I've had my bike for about 6 months now. All of a sudden it lacks almost all acceleration. starts up just fine, but even in first gear, I can't pull away with any sort of acceleration beyond piddling forward. I can't get past 30mph in any...

I'm a new rider (only a few months) and I bought a 2001 Ninja 250 to learn on. I rode it for a month before this started to happen. The bike will only start with the choke on. When you roll the choke off, it dies. When you roll the throttle, it dies. It idles fine, around 1800 rpm with the...

My 1996 honda nighthawk is in great mechanical condition until recently, last night i took it for a ride and notcied something weird with the engine and throttle. if i were to start it up from a cold start, i would simply turn the choke on and start it, it would hover at a little above one, then...

Hello everyone, so I have a 2006 Suzuki GSX-R750 that I just bought, and the bike of course has an aoutomatic choke, that turns off after about 4-5 seconds. Sometimes the bike starts up fine and when the choke turns off it idles at 1200RPMs like it should, but more than not the bike will drop...

i just purchased a 1970 BSA 441... just a single... there are a few problems, but nothing insane... the carb is clean and she starts up after 6-8 kicks using a compression release (i no longer need to go to the gym) Ides a little high... but i am still finding the right mixture and...

So, a few years back, some friends of my mom's were moving and, being motorcycle enthusiasts, had an old '83 Nighthawk 550 sitting around. The folks bought me the bike for 500 bucks and I've been working on it off and on ever since. The previous owners had driven it for a few years and then...

Okay, so I originally couldn't get my bike to start. I had it sitting for the winter and changed the gas and It was turning over but not firing. So then I sprayed some ether in the carbs and that got it firing up real nicely. It ran for a good day. That was a week ago. I just tried to start it...
