Last bike I had was a 1973 Triumph which was a nightmare. Was thinking of a small Suzuki like the 650 Savage.

I have a 97 softail with an s&s motor I was recently on a long ride about 50 miles into I noticed my oil pressure Gauge had stopped work but everything seemed fine so i finished the ride which ended up being around 300 miles. It just recently got out of the shop and i'm thinking its something they did to it. Should I get it looked at or is it something that can wait till my routen maintance is up?

I was riding home and i turned my lights on half way down the road,

They came on for about 1 second and went off.

front and back lights and indicators.

However, the brake lights, oil light and horn still work.

I know the bike has two fuses.. 7A and 10A.

Any Ideas.

P.S. I have changed the 7A to no avail. But dont know where to find the 10A fuse.

Thanks.

I have a kx250, a 2004. I want to make the bike a head turner.
So I deiced to paint the frame and get black plastics and keep the two white side number plates.
anyways; for painting just the frame, could I use normal $4 a can spray paint? I would do it all from sanding, cleaning and primering. On the frame now, there is no rubing stops. Where the paint comes of. Or should i get the Expoxy paint for $10 a can?

I was wondering if I can use my power adaptor from a Netgear router to charge my motorcycle battery. The specs on the adaptor are 12V @ 1A 12VA - So all the figures are good except I'm unsure if the charger is DC compatable.
At the top of the adaptor it says AC/DC - obviously it works for AC but does this mean it will change DC into AC if necessary but not vice-vera as I need it too?
Thanks

Bought one years ago,but cant find them on the web.
Can anyone help?

Getting a bit fed up with the 'real bikers' looking down their noses at me because I am on a Honda Innova 125 (step thru). I enjoy riding it tho of course it is totally gutless. It has two wheels and an engine and so its a motorbike, no?.....Actually I have been riding bikes for 30+ years and I've worked for years as a courier, I have raced em too ...so I think of myself as a biker...I just cant afford anything better at the mo (4 kids, struggling business etc). So whats a Real Biker? Is it how much you spent on your bike? is it how much your helmet is worth? Is it someone who only gets their £10,000 Ducati out on a Sunday (if its not raining)?

What would cause the idle to increase from 1500 when cold to 2500 when at normal operating temperature. Is this something to be concerned about. Also should i try adjusting with the throttle stop screw (left side of bike) or the throttle screw (on the right side of the bike). Any tips would be helpful.

Just had carbs cleaned and adjusted.
New Plugs
Oil changed

So I have an ATV tire (9x12x25) that inflates but loses air after about 2-3 days and I am thinking of using SLIME tire sealant to see if that helps. I figure that will be cheaper than buying a new tire for about $60. Any thoughts or recommendations? I have a 16 oz. bottle of SLIME.
