Any guides on how to choose a good condition secondhand 600cc and above sportbike?
I've been trying to get this silly thing running today but I haven't had any luck. I installed a starter I got off ebay, hooked up the chain and cog, replaced the side cover, filled with oil, and then hit the start button.
Are 49cc pocket bikes legal in Oregon?
Click. Click.
What would you consider an appropriate punishment for someone caught stealing your bike?
I hear the solenoid clicking and I can feel the starter "jump" a little and get a bit warm (after several attempts at the clicking). But... no fire.
Reliability and how good are these Cyclops 49cc scooters? link provided?
The old starter was burned up--totally blackened on the inside and it smelt terrible. So... any thoughts on what is causing this? The solenoid maybe? Bad starter (again) from ebay?
Answers:
let's assume that the engine was running fine before the starter went. (if not, then it sounds like the motor is seized) is the starter clutch ok? this is the part that makes the small starter gear engage (move to contact the larger starter gear) when it starts to spin and retract when the engine starts. does the starter run when hooked up directly to a 12v dc source? is your battery strong? too much oil in the crankcase? improper installation of the starter? since the last starter burned up, and the new one sounds llike it's headed in the same direction, there must be something that's causing it to work too hard. will the bike run if you bump start it? if so, then you are looking at a starter circuit problem; if not, then there could be many other issues.
Will a 180/55/17 fit a katana 600 (2003)?
Maybe your pistons are frozen inside the cylinders. Check that out.Do you think the standard of motorcycle servicing is very poor?
May be your battery. If you do not have enough cranking amps you will get the sound you describe. Could be a bad connection / break within the battery cable itself.Is the 2008 KLR 650 gonna be anything better than the 2006/2007's...?
Take the battery to an auto parts store and have them check it for cranking / starting amp draw.
You could try to jump start it from you car battery, but that can be tricky due to battery location within the bike.
Why does the indian youth has the craze for modifying the bikes?
Take the side case back off and with a wrench turn the crank back and forth to free it up.I believe you have siezed pistons due to moisture rust.The original problem that caused the failure of the first starter must be found and fixed before it takes out the new one. The soleniod is good because you get power to the starter. The starter "jumps" because it's trying to turn something that won't move. How's the over-running clutch? Did you maybe forget something when you tightened the bolt on that "cog"?
