You are on a dark, country road at night, about 45MHP, and a deer steps in front of you. Which is the better option, lay the bike down or hit the bugger and hope for the best?

This bike starts first kick without choke. It idles fine but, in first gear she appears completely fine, but in second it hits the power band and a surge of power follows but for a very short time, it is then quite flat and when the rpms increase just sounds like its bogging down. A friend of mine suggested probably using a hot plug but when I checked it is a cold plug. I am going to try a new plug but does anyone have any other ideas as to what could be the cause. Thank you

I have a 85 700 virago and here is its issue.
Start it cold runs perfect
in 2 mins one cylinder stops working.
In 5 mins at 3000 rms or better starts working.
No loss of power when both cylinders are working, no smoke, no vaulve clicking.
New plugs.
I am thinking bad coil, any other thoughts?

I was accelerating from the traffic lights, and as I was speeding up, the engine seemed to suddenly loose power. No matter how much throttle I applied, the engine did not want to go, it sounded very dull and I stuggled to maintain my speed. Now, i need to rev the engine very high in low gears in order to get it going, and even then, it is a struggle to climb up hills, and maintain even low speeds (60km/h). I need to gain alot of momentum in order to reach higher speeds (80km/h). The bike seems to rev normally when I apply the throttle at a standstill, but as soon as I start moving and changing gears, it becomes problematic to get the engine going, and it struggles to maintain power. The engine now generally has a dull sound, and there is a dull popping sound from the exhausts.

Could this be an ignition timing problem? Or another re-adjustment that needs to be made? Or did I break something....The bike has done about 5700kms. It is a 2006 Kawasaki GPX 250R (or "ninja" 250R in the US)

I currently have a Yamaha jog CE50E and would like some info on it ie history/pictures and possible source for manual. Most scooter sites omit this particular piece and have only been able to find one pic.

My bandit (10,500 miles) was tapping for a while (2 months) and now its starting to get pretty loud like a knock at the top front of the engine. Tap/knock as fast as the engine turns but is still very strong,fast, starts with no problems. It use to go away when it warmed up but not anymore. What do you guys think it is? Will this be an expensive fix? I bought it used with 8,500 miles and it has never been serviced. HELP!!!

I jus replaced my cam chain, and now i'm trying to re-install the balancer chain which I had to take off to do the install. I can't figure out how to get it on to both balancer sprockets and the crankshaft sprocket without physically prying it over. I must be missing something in the procedure- could anyone help?

Thanks!

I was driving my piece of crap SunL scooter the other day when it jerked backwards and started making this weird noise. I thought the front wheel was about to fly off because the noise was as if something was pressed against the wheel. Like when you put a baseball card in a bicycle to make it loud. Also, from that point on, I could smell the exhaust and a burning rubber smell as if it was blowing right in my face. The next time I started it, it was REALLY loud. It sounded like an actual motorcycle. Thats the last time it would start. I had just bought a new battery and had a full tank. When I try to start it, it sounds normal except now it makes a *bloop bloop bloop* fluid sound as well. I also noticed that at the same time it quit turning over, it started reading the level of the gas tank even with the keys out. Its not supposed to do that. Please someone help me figure out how to make this thing run again.

My friend is a cop, and he says he always pulls them over whenever he sees them, because their documents are always illegit. They are always missing something. Knowing this, why are the people that ride them turning them into cop magnets?
