Hey guys, So I've been working on this bike for a few weeks now. Bike works fine and starts up fine. However, when I go to shift to a higher gear, the bike barely picks up any speed. The max the bike goes is to 45 mph and that's at 6 th gear. Really frustrating as I just went ahead cleaned...

Hey Guys, Just my luck this. So the previous owner of my bike must've dropped the carbs while he was cleaning it :wtf:. Anyway I went and tried taking out the pin holding the float bowl between the two towers and one side just cracked off. At this point I could potentially go ahead and JB...

Hey Guys, I'm back in the garage after I just finally got the engine to kick over on its first kick. Runs like a champ and has a ton of compression. Figured out it was a timing issue under the timing cover and adjusted it accordingly to the crank and its positions. Anyways, I own a...

Hey Guys, Not sure what happened, but it looks like my 1982 Yamaha xs400 S's Oil Cap on the side somehow cracked. Ever since, it started spewing a little oil here and there, not too much, but still enough for me to lose fresh oil. If anyone had an extra one lying around, it would be much...

Hey guys, Just wondering what could possibly be wrong with my speedometer. I went through a speed radar that your city will randomly have around town and every time I read my speed my speedometer tells me differently. I could even tell as well, as I'll be going 25, but in reality I'll be...

Hey guys, So not too long ago I managed to finally get my bike started hadn't driven it yet. I don't have an electrical start so everything is kickstart. Whenever I kickstart it starts up after a couple kicks, however once I pull the throttle it just dies out. I pulled the choke out and did...

Hey guys, Just today I was wondering why my blinkers won't working and staying solid. I was thinking maybe not enough voltage was going through since the engine wasn't on. I go ahead to turn my engine on and go to kickstart the bike, but it doesn't even give a single ounce of juice. It's...
