Motorcycles - June 2007

I ride an RC51 (Honda's version of Ducati Sport Bikes) and have always wondered why Ducati bikes have a weird noise with their clutch system? I know it's a dry system, but is that normal?

I have a 78 Kawasaki KE125 that I can get kick started but it will not idle. I start it with choke all the way in and when I give it gas it cuts off immediately. When I start it and don't give it gas it slowly sputters out. I have recently cleaned the carbs. I have checked the hose that connects from the petcock to the carburetor and the fuel gets through. I have tried adjusting the idle knob but I do not have a manual yet and don't know the exact setting. What else should I be checking?

I just started wheeling my 2000 Honda CBR F4 (not F4i) and was wondering if I'm gonna really screw things up if I keep doing it? I know that if you come down hard you can bend the forks but is there anything else that its bad for? I don’t THINK I'm starving the engine of oil because i'm only up for like 2 seconds at a time. Does landing them a moderately hard progressivally weaken the forks? All relevant advice is appriciated...other than "stop doing wheelies".

the first mechanic i had tuned up my bike and since then my bike's performance has changed. i have reached 100km/hr before but after the tune up i'm running between 90 to 95 km/hr only and the engine sounds louder than before. the second mechanic tuned up my bike, now i'm running 100 to 105km/hr and engine's noise was reduced. can anyone explain me help me understand how & why?

would like to put 2005 cast sporty wheels on 82 fxr. my lathe is too small to make a full length bushing to reduce the 1" i.d. 05 bearings to the 3/4" 82 axle, not sure how safe it would be anyway
