After my bike just didnt even seem to have life last night. Checking battery and fuses. My gut is telling me it is a faulty ignition that soaked up some rain water and may have corroded some stuff. I have a multi meter and have disconnected the connection underneath tank for the ignition. But...

I meat to ask if there is a way to test the ignition issue by using multimeter across fuse when it's turn key on and then off. Or will need to take the gas tank off and test the actual connection.

The past few days I have ridden in hard rain. My bike ha also been left to the elements without cover for a few of them too. Last night I turned the key an nothing, not even the dials moving up and down. I checked the battery and it is fine. I checked the main fuse and it appears to be good...

Hello Community. Been on the road for 4 months now, and Im getting a bit concerned about my transmission. At second gear (when I really goose it) the engine feels like it slips at 4000, i sometimes hear a clunk than it goes back into the power-band around 6000. From what i've read this appears...

Was browsing the net searching for what to do during a flat on a motorcycle. Luckily I have not experienced one yet, but the thought of getting a front flat at 80 mph on the highway scares me a bit. There was a topic on the net that suggested using a fairly expensive Ride On Sealant that...

Hello, Not sure where to post this but i would really appreciate some advice on where to go to get my valves adjusted. I live in North County in San Diego, and have been less than pleased with some of the shops ive been to recently. I know this valve job is a bit tricky, even for an experienced...
