I have come across Bridgestone tyres that do not have tubes. Does CBZ support them?

I have an 11 volts battery for my motorcycle, and i have four pieces of neon lights, together with a 700 watt amplifier, 2 6x5 speakers, and 2 tweeters. When i turn them all on my music suddenly turns off and on or it sounds cracky. My friend said to put a capacitor to increase the flow of electricity to support everything. But im scared that things might blow up. Are there any other suggestions other than reducing my electricity use?

Scenario: You pick up a nail or similar object in your rear tire causing it to go flat. You limp into the nearest parking lot to get off the street.
Do you:
A) call someone with a truck and have it hauled to a shop?
B) break down the wheel and fix it on the spot?
Or something in between?

I have a '92 suzuki DR 350, which takes about 50 kicks to start the first time of the day. After that I starts up just fine.

At first I just thought it was flooding (and it was), however...

I recently replaced the fuel petcock (which is a vaccum petcock), since the other one had went bad.

And I also completely tore down and put back together the carb. Its completely clean, in good shape, and I adjusted the float levels to exact specification.

Those 2 things made it run better, It hasn't flooded since then, however that first start of the day always takes like 50 kicks. I've tried many many different techniques, choke/nochoke heavy on the throttle, or no throttle at all, with/without the decompression lever. Kicking it a few times with full throttle, then the rest closed. I know all about using the decompression lever to find TDC. Yet all these things I've tried, I just have not been able to get it to start nicely right out of the garage. Any advice?

I can drive a standard transmission auto. Actually, I can drive a 10 speed semi-truck, I have my commercial drivers license.

I can ride a bicycle.

I'm buying a motorcycle, but I don't have a license yet. It doesn't look that hard to me. But I don't want to be dangerously over confident. I plan to take a group class.

What are the most important things needed to learn to ride a motorcycle?

The whole was caused by a fairing screw, and the welders are unable to weld it.

My bike just blew out very dusty black powder with a pop sound and kept doing that for like a minute like it is clogged.
What does that to the bike?
sometimes it runs pretty good but other times, it idles poor(dies when hot) so when i increase the idle adjustment, it idles OK but when i revv it up, the RPM stays high for a while and come back. I think that's because idle adjustment is too high?? but if i don't do that, idle will go too low and bike will die.
Clogged muffler will cause this?

Ive got a 98 Cbr600 and have a strange problem. When im in top gear between 6-7000rpm, the engine splutters and feels like its run out of fuel. It ONLY happens in top gear, and between those rev ranges. ive put in a new air filter, plugs and cleaned the carb. Any help would be great.

Before I say anything else: I am definitely planning to take the MSF course and ride responsibly (although you might think otherwise because I'm 18) with full protective gear. I have heard people say that anything under 500cc is good for a beginner, while others advocate a more powerful bike in the 500-800cc range. I'm interested in cruisers, and I've done a lot of research. From that, it looks like a Honda Rebel 234cc bike might be a good choice, and it's affordable for me right now. However, I obviously haven't made any final decisions. Maybe a more powerful used bike for around 3 or 4 grand such as a Honda Spirit Aero 750cc will be within my limits, since I don't plan on committing suicide and will learn gradually. Anyway, I don't know. I'm 5' 7" / 5' 8" and weigh around 140-150 pounds. Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot.
