...and yet offer no answer or opinion of their own?

I ask this question in the Motorcycles forum because It happens to the Top Contributors like Guardrail Jim, FireCracker, Nomad, Byron, Ride On and others... when their answers are thoughtful, well worded and perfectly valid.

okay, so if its an overflow line, is it supposed to just hang there.? and someone said to tap on the buttom of the carb with a screw driver and it would unstick the valve. do you know where i can buy a service manual or get a diagram of a carb? this is crazy, we worked 7 hours yesterday trying to fix this bike and get it back on the road, all i wanted for mothers day was to ride it down the street and now this crap. i'm fed up

Meaning when I am just cruising not romping on it, at any givin speed around where sould i keep the rpm's? The manual has a section on it but it seems to bog down the engine when you shift at there shift points. They are telling me i should be in 6th gear at 37 mph and that slightly bogs the engine

1990 1200 Sportster 40,000 mi.
I'll warm it up for 3-4 mins and barrels feel warm, but still have to run 1/2 mile or so partially choked before it runs normally?

Carb problem? tired top end ? Or?

I just bought a used dirt bike yesterday. the person that was selling it let us start it up and ride it around to make sure everything was good and it worked great! we brought the bike home and rode it for hours before putting it up for the night. i stalled it a billion times and restarted it and it worked fine (first dirtbike lol). but this morning for some reason it wont start no matter what we do. we did flood the engine at first but we dried the spark plug and weighted a bit. we checked the gap and its good but the spark is dull yellow and not bright blue...is this normal? my father and i did everything we could think of and its still wont work! we are leaning towards bad gas but im kinda worried...i spent every dime i saved on this bike and it would really suck if its something seriously wrong. anybody know what the problem could be? my dad is very mechanically inclined and i know alot about engines and stuff but neither have us have ever worked on a dirtbike before. pls help. thx

I just purchased a 1977 Suzuki GS550. I am kinda short and would like to lower the bike like 1 or 2 inches. What is the best way to do this? Also what are some good resources for oldschool bike parts? I am new to the world of motor cycles so take it easy on me. Thanks

I know there is nothing wrong with it. Just will not turn over like there is some type of safety feature. Dropped it at a low speed on the left side.

I was thinking of getting a motorcycle, preferrably a sport, maybe a Ninja, however I am rather large, 6'6" and about 285 pounds, so maybe a curiser is the way to go but what would be good models for a first bike
