    I have a 1994 Honda Magna. It had started and drove fine with the exception of a fuel leak that started from the carbs. I found a local place that would do a carb rebuild as long as I brought in just the carbs so I did just that. I just got the rebuilt carb back this week and reassembled the...

    I recently bought a 78’ KZ200 at the AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days. The battery was replaced about a month ago. It always starts first time, but I can’t seem to start it after it’s been running for a few minutes (FYI it has points ignition). Hope someone can be of assistance.

    I’ve been having an issue trying to get my bike to start. Over the past year or so, when pressing the starter button it sometimes takes several presses before it will turn over. It makes a very faint noise down somewhere around the engine but I’m not sure exactly where it’s coming from. It...

    Hello all! I am a first time motorcycle owner (and the only one in my family). I have a 2006 Suzuki Boulevard s40 that won't start.

    Hi, I just got my motorcycle (2004 Honda Nighthawk with 6k miles) like two weeks ago (used) and now it won't start. I'm a new rider and I don't really know anything about fixing one. I recorded the sound it makes under the seat when I try to start it with the clutch pulled in, but I guess I'm...

    I just bought my first bike, a 1978 Honda CX500, that had been sitting in a garage for about 6 months. It is running rough, meaning that after I start riding, it will die when I come to a stop or pull in the clutch and let of the throttle. It won't start for a few minutes after it dies and the...

    So I got this bike a couple weeks ago, had been sitting for at least 3 years, unknown how long exactly. It was running well prior to that. Was not left with gas in the tank, was left with oil and brake fluid in it. Came with spare engine and many spare parts. I replaced the ignition cylinder...

    Hello everyone, I've posted a lot of threads while I've been working on this bike being my first bike owned/worked on and I need your help hopefully only once more.

    I've recently aquired a downed 1990 Zx600d and am in the process of converting it to a streetfighter/naked style bike. When taking off the front fairing bracket I accidently tapped the bottom of my ignition where the wires meet and saw sparks. Since then I haven't been able to get any electrical...

    Hi guys, Picked up a 125 yesterday, rode it around for the afternoon, everything seemed fine. Didn't even have to start it with the choke at all, for the couple of times I stopped it (never left it for more than 30 mins, but it's been cold here in England!). This morning I come to go to work...

    I have a really n00b but important/urgent question...for some reason, even though the bike started fine last night when I got it home, it wouldn't start tonight.

    Hey all, the cap for my run switch is gone. It has the contacts necessary to make the bike run, and I can't find a GOOD replacement for it. I tried picking up the entire right hand switch assembly at a junkyard, but the wiring is all different, and the run switch cap on the "new" assembly broke...

    The bike had work done on it to start up and ride. we were riding it for about 2 weeks and we killed the battery trying to start it when it was slightly cold. Now it won't start at all after we charged the battery. is it possible that we had a bad batch of gas or there is an electrical short...
