Wondering if anyone knows of any major differences in these frames. Long story short, my bike got creamed a few months back, insurance totaled it. Then, a few weeks ago, after getting it all back in shape and registered/ridable some asshole decided it would be great to take it for a spin at...

Woke up from to a text from a neighbor that my bike had been "moved" off the street and onto the grass by some guys doing construction around the corner. Got dressed, went down and saw her leaned up against a fence. As soon as I saw her a man came out from the house. "Is this your bike?" "Yeah."...

My CB500T has the stock kehin carbs which have no vacuum port, and rather than modifying the boot/cylinder head I was wondering if the STE-SK style vacuum tool would work in place of a typical carb vacuum sync tool. I know these are generally used in an upright position, but I was thinking...

First time rebuilding the top end on a bike, so I'm not really sure the best way to go about diagnosing my issue (low compression, about 150psi on each side, white smoke from left cyl exhaust). Pulled the heads and found this. ??? ??? Pulled the cylinders and found some light wear marks but...

So I'm pretty sure the timing on my CB500T is off, right side seems retarded. I'm getting a lot of pinging in the right exhaust and it's backfired once or twice while kicking it over after it's recently been ridden. Now for the stupid question. In order to crank the stator to adjust the points...

So I've posted over at Honda Twins but haven't gotten very far, figured I'd ask here. Had just gotten my carbs cleaned, synched and was ready to take her for a test spin. Got to the end of the driveway, stalled (clutch needs work), decided to bump it as my driveway exits onto a hill. Kick it...

So my KL250 has been doing this thing lately, where after having sat for a few hours or overnight, the first time I engage the front brake it makes this awful squealing noise. I can feel the vibration up into the bars, but then it goes away after the first or second brake actuation. Wondering if...

Curious to see what kind of voltage a 6v stator should be putting out when the bike is being kicked over. Manual says it should be ~40v at 4k RPM, but as the bike isn't running I'm not sure what kind of voltage I should be seeing. Getting 4.5-6v per kick, generally. Thoughts?

So here's my KL 250. I'm hoping to drop the bike ~2" overall while going from a 21" wheel in the front to an 18-19. Going for more of a tracker/brat stance than a cafe. Couple of questions I have. 1: Will dropping the bike and changing the front wheel size dramatically/negatively change the...
