hi friends,

recently i have bought a motor cycle. But i am facing a problem
when i am trying to start it. The problem is like this,

first of all , i dont use the motor cycle every day.Normally i use it only on sundays.


When i try to start it ,it starts well for the first time. but after 5 or 6 seconds , the engine stops.I see there is enough fuel in the tank. After that the engine dont start for atleast 5 or 6 attempts although i choke everytime. after that the motor cycle starts but its speed cant be controlled by the throttle.at this situation if i ride the bike for atleast 50 to 60 meters the engine works as like a normal engine. after that the engine works well for that day. this problem occurs again after 1 or 2 days.


please give me some advice as elaborately as you can and also tell me the kind of problem of my bike .

hello just bought a gsx600f with 23,000 for 600 bucks i expected that there would be work needed on the bike so the prob is i cant run it with the choke off it has to be fully on if i move the lever at all the bike shuts down i noticed with the choke fully on it only runs at about 3000rpm unlike my other bike a shadow 600 wich will run at like 4-5000rpm when the choke is on do i need to adjust the idle screw if so where is that located or should i go ahead and do a rebuild thanks

Well, my bike wont start now after ive re-built it and basically all i need is a list of possible problems/solutions.

Here are some details.

Bike: 1980 Suzuki TS
Starting Method: Kick-Start
Ignition Deatails: Magneto/stator plate, contact breaker points.
I have got a good spark.
There is fuel reaching the spark plug.

But still nothing? Another thing is, the bike doesnt even sound like it wants to start?

Any help much appreciated!!! Thank you!

Can someone please suggest me the best home made (natural ingredients based) bike washing solution that would not harm my bike or its color/shine & clean it too. I got a candy red Honda Uni and I am afraid that it may loose its shine and fade red color after some time(months/years). If there is not many options then, please suggest me a good bike washing solution available in the market (in India).
Also, is there any solution / coating available (in India) that would avoid scratches and increase paint life.
Thanks in advance.

Dumb question, but I am curious, and dont really want to buy a manual just to answer my question. The lower headlight on these gsxr's.. it looks almost like a magnifying lens or something. I am not sure if that bulb is burned out or not and am too lazy to go pull it to see right now. So, being that this is the first gsxr i've owned, to make sure... is this indeed a headlight? If so, does it come on with the low or high beams or is there some special trick to it? If there isnt, then mine is definately burned out (came that way when I got the bike). Just curious. Thanks!

I need info on where to find an upgrade kit for a 1982 honda urban express... also if I get a larger cylinder I'm guessing I would need different roller weights also, what would I need to do? do I need to mess with the carb as well? I think I'm just gonna buy the parts and get someone to install for me, but these are good things to know before I buy the parts... thinkin' about a new pipe as well...

Garaged for 7 months, upon return and purchase of new battery, bike will not start. No clicking sound or any sound at all when trying to start. Have tried in neutral, in 2nd gear rolling, with side stand up and down. What else could I try or should i look for. I talked to a mechanic and he told me to try the solenoid(touching the two bolts with a pair of pliers at the same time causing a spark) but i do not know how to locate the solenoid. Help.

Alright. My dad has a 84-85 honda shadow that works really well. All except for the shifting/transmission part. When I rode it, the thing woulnd't shift down easily. You had to hit it down a couple times and then it would shift. Causes problems when i reach intersections when it does that. Shifting up has no problems at all. I would like to fix it in order to get my motorcycle liscense with that bike cause I don't have any others. Whats the matter with it? Is it getting too old and dryed out or what? How can i fix it?
