Motorcycles - January 2007

riding easier. For me it had to be about countersteering. I have ridden for years but never heard of it till I took a class when I moved. It's amazing how much easier it is to ride when you actually use it instead of doing it automatically without knowing you are doing it

If by chance you don't know what it is, it is pushing on the side of the handlebar in the direction you want to go in. ie: it you want to go right you push right and the bike automatically leans for you.

im really new to motorbikes, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
i have a honda cm125 four stroke.today my bike died whilst i was driving it, about 10miles into a journey, and refused to start. it won't kick start, and won't even bump start. the engine cranks, but thats it. and it didn't just stall, there was a loss of power- i noticed it slowing down- and then slowly came to a halt. but lights, horn, etc work, and the starter motor turns.
what could it be? the KILL switch is on RUN, it has a new spark plug, and it sparks.it has a full tank of fresh fuel, and the spark plug is wet when i crank it.it makes no difference if the choke is on or if the petcock is on prime or reserve. the battery is fully charged, and connected.the carbs are clean, i can see through the jets, ive checked the valves, there is compression, the fuel lines are clean, and i don't have a kickstand switch.

WHAT THE HELL IS IT!?!

any answers appreciated

thanks!

I am interested in opinions for my Harley. I am currently running 18" chubby apehangers with a 1" riser. They are a bit to high for me. I am not sure what would look good
I am considering z bars, baby apes, stock, or buckhorns.

Thanks for answers ahead of time.

This bike has feature that are hard to find on many of the newer bikes. Such as Shaft drive, a gear shift indicator, and an upright seating position. It's not a boring "standard" motorcycle (as it is classified), but it is not over the top either in the area of styling.
To me it's like the Baby Bear's Porrige...it's "JUST RIGHT"!

I've got this Suzuki TL 1000s (i've posted a few times now... not having great luck with this bike) and I recently charged the battery. For some reason I can't clamp the negative terminal onto the battery. it has a screw and a hole, but the hole is not a screw hole (it hasn't been stripped, this is a pretty new battery. it's just never been a screw hole to begin with.) So now, every time I try to start my bike, the negative terminal simply pops off of the battery, and the bike shuts down. Has anyone experienced this? is there a good fix?

I start the bike alright but the starter remains engaged while the engine is running fine. Turning off the switch, nor the engine cutout switch, not even the sidekick will disengage the starter motor. At first I dissasembled the starter switch, but no luck there. The starter relay seems to be fine also. The only way to turn the engine and the starter off is when the battery dies.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks,

Orgutz

I'm searching to buy one for my bike. My husband told me to ask on here just in case someone may know where to find one online or somewhere near Tennessee. We've been on eBay, by the way, & didn't find any there. Thanks for any help~
