    New project - Yammy conversion

    It's regional here. In some places, you can only get E10, but where I live, a lot of 91 octane and above is ethanol-free. A few gas stations around me sell 87 octane ethanol-free.

    I skip sealers and definitely skip any gas with any amount of ethanol! No E10 for anything other than our vehicles that we use regularly.

    I'd skip the sealer on the new tank. I've seen liners/sealers fail more than good tanks rust. Sell it on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace.

    Hey guys 👋🏼 wtf is this thing

    The picture is such a close-up, that it is disorienting. I don't know where it even is on the bike. I see the swing arm, so the photo must be looking up from the bottom? Is it a side stand safety switch? Where is it on the bike?

    Can we remove the Profile Posts feature?

    I agree. They were trying to make this a social platform where you follow friends and post on their profile. I don't think it really ever took off on any forums (none that I follow). It just caused confusion for new users who were posting on people's profiles and thinking they were posting to...

    Solenoid click, no motor engagement

    Check for continuity from the starter housing to the negative post on the battery terminal to make sure you have a ground path. I would physically check your ground cables as well, but I suspect you just need a new starter or to rebuild the starter if possible. I have revived starters by...

    Solenoid click, no motor engagement

    100,000km! Impressive. Yes the starter is grounded by being bolted to the engine, which should be grounded to the battery or frame to battery. Do you have a multimeter?

    New project - Yammy conversion

    Welcome to the site! The stripped-down everything, headlight, and seat make the bike in the video in my opinion. Look at Avon and Shinko and look into 3.00-18, 90/90-18, or for the front, and 3.50-18, 100/90-18, or 4.10-18 for the rear. Here's some good info on tire sizes...

    Site Upgraded to Xenforo 2

    The software this site runs on was updated from Xenforo 1 to Xenforo 2 today. You may notice the style is a little different, but most things should work similarly to before. This upgrade was necessary to ensure the site remains secure and compatible with browser updates. It also brings some new...
