Sorry I had to ask this twice but I could'nt get it running, just need some advice.
So I have this Mini bike that I got from my friend for free. I brought it home the other day and started trying to get it to run, after 20 minutes of working the pull-start I got it to run and keep running, but, when I hoped on it and gave it some gas it just died and I got it running again and everytime I had it running it just died when I gave it gas. But then I just left it sit for an hour and when I came back out to pull it again it would'nt even fire up again. And now I can't even get it to start.

Whats the problem?

i have a 1985 suzuki 230 quadrunner and the rear brakes are drum brakes. when u pull the brake lever it will pull the arm on the brake drum and lock the brakes but when you release the brake lever the arm will not go back to its original position and the brakes will stay locked. what can i do to fix the problem so the arm will go back and the brakes will work properly. My quad is a 1985 suzuki lt230ge quad runner, this is the modle with no suspension in the back and is shaft drive.

I took the MSF course and thats the only riding experience I have. Shortly after that I bought a Kawasaki EX500 to practice on but had to back surgery a week after I bought it so I haven't got much practice in.

I haven't got the idea of using both brakes so I'm kinda scared to drive to a parking lot and risk losing my balance at a stop and falling over in the street. Maybe I should drive to a parking lot real late at night when no one is on the road? The problem is I live near campus so everyone is up real late. How do I brake properly without making the bike come to an abrupt stop?

Have you seen the new issue? The one that "provides" you with a way to keep engine heat off you? (I want to feel when my baby is getting too hot so I can stop for a bit.) And the one color option for the Dyna Wide. Pfftt. And not much in the custom paint department for anything shown. The FXCW looks pretty good, but the bars look like they suck. Is H-D going the AMF route and selling to the "rabble"?

Maybe at close to 50, I should not be looking for a real answer on the computer. H-D and computer don't really go well together for an old timer. If you are with me, drop a line to the factory. I have. It's a shame what they are doing. I wish Willie "G" best of luck, but I'm starting to feel that maybe a Victory, just as American, is better.

Hasta lumbego. (Yeah, I know it's wrong. We said it in the late 80's when the suspensions were bad for skinny people riding alone.) Probably won't give an answer plug to this one, either.

I've checked the fuse box. They're good. Brakelite doesn't work with either lever. Foot lever or hand lever. Is there maybe another fuse hidden somewhere in the frame or under the seat? I've even changed the bulbs. That didn't help either. Any suggestions or solutions would be appreciated. Have a BLESSED day.

Mid-Life Crisis!

Learner - I took my CBT (Compulsey Bike Training).

I bought the "perfect bike" (the biggest I could) Yamaha XVS Drag Star 125 to learn on.

I am an experienced car driver - but the bike "paps" me up! (What "paps" me up are car drivers! - IRONY and cornering) - I haven't taken her off the estate - or my drive!

So I have 2 hours (road) experience on any bike and WANT to be a biker!

She has not done many miles (1100 in 3 years) and she calls for me!

HELP.

I just purchased mine and of course, no fuel gauge! The girl I bought it from said she always filled up at 80 miles. I know it can go further. But before I try, I'd like some really good opinions or exact facts. Thanks for your help!

you like to do while riding that is just ornery to other people in cars, For exsample I will be kicking it down the road about 65 70 mph and as a car is trying to pass all give the bike more gas while the car is beside me and pretty soon that cager will be doing 110 mph trying to pass me . Eventually they let up and all let up at the same time then go back to my 65 70 mph while they go by and shake there head at me .I think its funny that cager tried to pass at 80 mph and then looks down and hes doing 110 mph .What do you do ?
