    Rear wheel issue?

    I just started noticing a noise from my rear wheel when I'm riding, and I hear when I have the bike off and push it. It sounds like a few small clicks, and only on 20% - 30% of the wheel rotation. I can't tell if there's any performance issues. I've taken my brake pads out, in search for a...

    Starting Issue

    Over the past 3 years I rebuilt my 89 Vmax top to bottom, after everything was bolted on/plugged back in, I went to start the bike and ran into a problem.

    Fixed the Kickstand issue! New one inbound xD

    So I fixed the kickstand issue, it was in fact the relay and the new (used) one I got from ebay didn't work either so I just unplugged it and it worked. The new issue is that when I get to the end of a straight line drive and let it drop to idle, it dies. Immediately I thought it had to be...

When i went out today to start the bikes (after charging the Magna's battery) the old Honda fired up. But the Vmax (04 btw) acted like it does if the...

    Clutch issue. I have a few questions...

    I haven't had much time to ride this year. But the last 2 times I've went to ride I have no clutch pressure. The reservoir is empty and once I add fluid and start pulling the lever I'm seeing air bubbles. I'm 99.9% sure I need to change the master cylinder. Is there anything else that could go...

    Starting issue with my Woona

    Woona has been doing this for a while now. It primarily happens when her engine is cold. I'm not certain just what the cause is, but I am hoping that others here might have an idea what the issue may be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrX8mHevJvw
