It's a Keihin carb. It now has a 45 main and a 155 slow. I need to know what the 1997 Suzuki RM 250 2 stroke comes with stock. I have a service manual on the way, but I need this info now. And I cant call a bike shop cause it's labor day and they are closed so only real answers please. Thank you.

I have a 06 raptor 350 and recently i added a jet kit and a pipe. Since then my carb has been sounding like it is backfiring. it only does it when it is idling and at low speed cruising. It is jetted like it said and the fuel mixture screw is 3 turns out like the instructions say. I've cleaned it out and put fresh gas back in and Changed the spark plug but still the problem persist, What is causing this?

Hi,
I just won this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300145400172

I have searched for information on it, but can't find anything!

Just wanted to double check the bore + ratio of this brake lever.

As it says in the listing, it is stamped with 3A30-16

I have a yamaha r6 and every morning when I go to ride it, it will not start. I charge the battery for about 20 minutes and the bike is ready to go. When I plug the battery into the charger it shows that the battery is at about 5o percent , after the 20 minutes the reader says 100 I take it out to ride and then in the morning it does not want to start. The battery is only 6 months old. Bot during those 6 months that I had the bike it was in he shop getting frame work because it fell. What could be the problem?

The motorbike test is currently being revised (again) and we will see riders having to pick up a couple of new skills in order to earn their licence. If you raise the issue of the test with a trainer, many of them tend to feel that the test is being made so hard that it is close to - if not already - deterring riders. Yes, (car) driving standards are not what they should be - particularly with respect to motorbike awareness - and good training saves rider's lives, but even with that in mind, is the test too hard?

When I ride bikes with my so called friends they always sponge my money from me, like when I stop for gas they use the same pump and fill up their bikes and I end up paying for everybodys gas, and when we stop to eat I always end up paying the bill for everybody, just the other day we stopped at this ice cream stand cause one guy was thirsty, and all he wanted was a iced tea, so everybdy else grabbed an iced tea, so i figured iced tea wasnt that much, so being a nice I guy I elected to pay for everybodys drink, then after that they all ordered burgers, and ice cream and fries, and I ended up paying $40 for everybody and they didn't eat all the food, they complained it wasnt good enough and thru it against the wall of the ice cream stand.

okay now i got your attention. i just want to ask one ? i have nothing against you guys or anything like that, but:

when your bike says "only 93+ octane" do you stick to that?

for the ones who don't do you have any problems. i know BMW and other 'luxury' car brands reccomend this, but i know many owners who dont without problems.

I really like the CBR125 and 250, and the aprilia RS125. Everbody says they are teenager and girl bikes.

I have the piston at TDC but I see no obvious marks as to how to place the cam in position. Is there a way to know this or is it just a guessing game. there is 1 large hole and 2 small holes 180 from each other. There is a symbol on the cam sprocket but I don't think that is the mark to line it up. Any help would be appreciated.

ride with her to make sure everything is okay & she is safe? I just rode home from a rally & the BF left me in the rain. I was going slow due to having trouble seeing, glasses getting full of rain, etc. so he went ahead without me. Don't most riders look out for each other?

I just bought an 07 Honda 919 and after about 5 miles of driving (it's brand new), I heard some squeal coming from the front end. The back end doesn't make (as much?) noise, but it sounds like a rock in the brakes. I don't see any grooves on the rotors, because I decided to continue riding (bike has 130 miles on it now) and see if i could get rid of the rock through repeated braking. Whatever the deal is, it's a squeal that appears just as I pull on the front brake....after a moment on the brake, the noise stops, but there's also a little noise as I ride, which makes me think maybe the calipers are just too close to the rotors? I REALLY hate the shop that I bought the bike from, but they're slated to do a 600 mile first tune on it in a week and I was thinking of getting it looked at then. Any ideas? Am I being a dumbass? (i figured if i hosed the rotors or pads, i could play dumb and get them to install new ones free :)
Thanks!
Oh, no flames about Hondas. Don't wanna hear it.

HD has a online membership for 45 bucks per year - has anyone joined, and is it worth the 45 dollars? I just bought a 2000 ultra.

Why do a lot of people call any two wheel bike with a motor a moped??? I thought the definition of a moped was a two wheel bike with a motor that you had to peddle thus the name mo for motor and ped for peddle
