So here is the deal. I rode out to my buddies house to start his bike up and let it run. (He is deployed to haiti at the moment so he cant do it himself haha) Everything was great, the ride out there was awesome it was 60 degrees here in kansas which is crazy. Then when i go to start my bike...

Well, I dropped my bike like 3 years ago in the drive way (stones) and ever since then, the clutch side bar end doesn't tighten.... it never falls out, but you can righty tighty all day and it never gets snug... when I do pull it out, and shine a light in the bar, it looks like whatever holds...

I imagine it is somehow related to the projector lights I put in. Does not seem to do it with only the low beam on. The bike will shut off on me. All electrical is gone. I wait for about 5 minutes or so and then things will come back and I can start the bike again. I have checked with a couple...

2001 TLR. Bike is crisp and revs as it should up until right at 6K, then it starts to spit, sputter, jump, buck,and almost want to send me to the moon. Once out of the throttle, I get hellatious backfire, pop and crackle. Only does it under load. On the road or dyno, no change. Does any of this...

Hi, I've owned this TLR for a year now, but only have about 300 miles on it due to major electrical problems, which this site helped me fix. Now on to the major problem with it: While riding I have to start off with gentle acceleration in the first 4 gears. If I apply more than 50% throttle...

97 TL1000S (more or less). Here's the problem: Bike starts fine; idles well; takes off like a scolded cat. Occasionally though the engine will die when I throw out the clutch such as at a stop light, coasting around a corner, etc. It will restart but need constant reving to keep running...

I think I mentioned this before on here and billbo chimed in but I can't find the thread about it. Something to do with the fuel pump regulator IIRC was Billbo issue. I'm still a candidate for the worst luck in America. Anyways, Removed the air box today off my 99 1500 5.3 liter Chevy pickup...

So Ive been reading a lot of posts about this mysterious oil leak that only drips for a few seconds after the bike is turned off. well guess what, my new toy is doing the same thing..... Ive gotten under the bike and cleaned it off and I still cannot tell where its coming from. However the...

Hi all, I have a 02tlr. i'm having an issue with excessive amount of pressure building up in the fuel tank, to the point that it is leaking from the fuel pump seal, just replaced. the pressure is rediculous. when i opened the fuel cap to fill up the tank there was a loud pop & hissing noise...

Hi guys, In hot day, when i ride my bike for a while it changes it sound, its not so smooth anymore is something machinegun like, and it comes with more engine vibrations, and slightly performance loss. Is someone familiar with this? I dont think that this is normal behavior, and also my valves...

What must be the voltage when the bike is running? Cause mine is the same when the bike is off, 12.5V I think that the voltage must be someware around 14V when i start my bike. But the odd thing is, that if my alternator doesn`t charge my battery would be daed by now. I haven`t charged my...

My bike came without front signals. I slapped some on just to test them and I get nothing from the front signals. The rear signals work fine. Is there a fuse or something I am missing here?
