Motorcycles - September 2006

Hi Guys
I've got a bit of a problem with my bandit, it wont turn over. I can bump it no worries but it just will not start off the key.

The starter turns but from my limited experience it doesn't seem to be working the starter clutch (bike doesn't even lurch when I try in gear).

I thought it might be the starter motor so i changed that, then the battery today (brand new battery which i fast charged for an hour) but that hasn't worked either.

I've taken the side casing off and everything looks ok but my exprience is limited in bike mechanics.

Do you guys think it may be my battery undercharged (didn't want to kill my new battery so just fast charged at 4amps for 1 hour after putting the acid in) or is it something more sinister?

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can offer

i just inherited a 1980 honda cm400... its needs a little work, but i am willing to do it... my problem is i cant find parts...

my local parts center can only order a few parts because its so old... i checked out dennis kirk... but the same thing, nothing goes back that far...

anyone know a great company that sells parts for a bike that old ??? i would love to restore this bike... but i just cant find the parts...
and another thuing... it needs to be cheap...

Thanks...
Mike

ok I've asked this before sorry for the lack of details.I have a 2000 Honda cr 125. I just re-did the top end and put new fluids in it and cleaned the carborator. all the right fluids. but there is a lot of smoke that comes out when I start and rev it.The smoke is gray so I don't think it is as bad as it could be. I've fixed it myself so could it be bad enginering, but I don't think that is the problem. What's wrong and how do I fix it. And please only answer if you really know.
