The Best Uses Of Bike Engines :D
I have an R1 powered chain saw.

Have I ruined my gearbox? or maybe the clutch?
Looks like the clutch doesn't like it. The rear wheel should be free to turn so if it isn't, file the leading edge of the shoes down until it turns freely.

Front end wobble
It is important to find out what has happened to your bike. Check all of the front including the head bearings and then start looking at the back. Check the swing arm bearings and wheel etc.

Help XS1100
You need to check the compressions of all the cylinders to find out if there is a problem.

Sleeping beauty or dead duck? Prospective Thundercat buyer's questions
You will need to flush the tank out and before starting, oil the bores through the plug holes. Good price and good luck!

SR 250 weird cutting out
You have dirt in the main jet of the carb. It is probably in the float chamber as well. You need to clean the carb out fully and probably the fuel tank as well.

Yamaha XJ6 Naked 2009
It's more important not to load the engine ie low revs. The rpm limit is the easist way for manufacturers to get people to run in the coatings on the bores.

It is fraud and they will get away with it. If they don't get away with it, a lot of civil servants will have to be prosecuted as well.

Did you remember to switch the ignition on?

Has anyone tried Virago 180cc modification ?!?!
You would gain more by turbo-charging the 125 cc bike.

Fazer post
I think the slides in the carbs are lifting too fast and causing the mixture to lean out too much on initial acceleration. Or it could be that one of the jets is partially blocked

XS500 hard start problems
The earthing bond is no good (ground) redo this and the battery connections. Also check the battery voltage as this has to be greater than 12.5 volts. The alternator should put out a minimum of 14.2 volts and make sure the spark plug leads are very clean along their length. If the points and timing are correct, and you have done the above, it will start easily.

XS 400 Compression
You cannot correctly gauge the compression of an engine by hand cranking. The result will always be low. You need to follow the manual or wait until you have driven it a few miles.
