Hello, i have a 2008 Honda XR 125 L-6 and the engine rattles slightly at idle. It isnt very consistant and completely goes away when i slowly release the clutch to biting point. Anyone know what it is? Is it the cam chain? Thanks

Best answer: I shift one gear at a time. Unless I have to stop in a hurry, then I do it the other way.

I have a motorcycle that’s had a different engine put in. I know the engine is a Kawasaki 305cc but I’m unsure if model, is there an oil suitable for all engines? Also how will I find out what oil filter I require?

Best answer: If you like going crazy fast, a sport 600 four cylinder is the go. Bear in mind they can be kept below 100mph but they really, really don't belong there. If you want something less manic, consider a 650 Ninja, the twin cylinder.. It's basically a grown up 250 Ninj. Easy to ride at any speed and not much more size and weight than you're used to. The two most common issues I see with noob riders upgrading is underestimating i) how much heavier the bigger bike is (= low speed drops) and ii) how much more quickly they build up speed (= arriving places far too quickly).
In terms of age, go by condition rather than year. Anything built by the Japanese is going to be OK at least back to the mid-nineties, though I would go no older than 10-12 years, just because.

I just took the clutch cover off my yz125 and all the oil came out. What oil do I put back in and where do I put it in through

I bought a bike at a dealership and they told me I got approved through a bank. I didn’t take the bike off the lot because I needed insurance but the bank ended up not approving. Can I back out of the deal. I’m in Washington

Im looking to go from a 125 2 stroke to a 450 4 stroke cross and am wondering how the maintenance differs. lm mostly wondering about service intervals - piston, valves, bearings, etc.

I just bought a Honda CG 2002 124cc bike. I have a CBT. I have no NCB and have not driven a car or bike before (but have had a provisional license for 5 years). I live in London. The bike will be kept in a driveway and used for commuting to work. Given all of this, the lowest insurance quote I'm getting is £1780 p/a on any of the major comparison websites. This seems very high or is it about right ??

Best answer: The problem comes when an old lady backs over your bike in a parking lot or if someone runs in to you at an intersection. Without the class M endorsement insurance companies will deny any claim and throw it out.

As for running checkpoints, they take pictures...

I m 19 in November and have decided to buy this bike on the off chance I can still keep it, if not, I ll have to sell it, but it is V5 registered and I don t have an A2 license to legally own the bike. Could I SORN the bike or maybe register with it a relative until i m old enough. Thanks in advance.

Hard to go into neutral. It just skip past neutral and go to second & it seems like the only way for me to go to neutral his if I shut the bike off. Even if I try to shift from 1st to neutral really slow it still jumps to second. I've tried to adjust the clutch but no help have anyone else experienced this problem any help will be appreciated

I want to put an electric start on this bike because I live in a cold state and it sucks starting. But considering it's a race bike, it doesn't have a battery. Is there a way to install an electric start on it?
