I don't know what the Ninja lists for, so I have no idea if that is a good deal, but it sure sounds cheap. In any case, you have at least 2 1/2 months left to ride, possibly a month more. Buy it now.

Neither. Do yourself a favor and stay away from cruisers.

You ought to be able to find a replacement XS engine easily enough if yours is no good. Why not stick with what the frame was designed for as long as you can get it. Just about any unit-construction twin should fit, but there aren't a lot of attractive options. A 750 Triumph, Norton or Kawasaki...

You can't buy something called an "engine repair kit". You look at it, take it apart if need be, and figure out what's wrong. If any parts need to be replaced, you buy those parts and install them. For many engines you can buy a gasket kit which would allow you to renew any and all gaskets...

There is a school of thought that holds that shafties cannot wheelie. Against the laws of physics. They say they don't countersteer either, on account of the coriolis effect.

A common location for a main fuse is in the positive lead to the battery. You might also look in the headlight shell, but if you remove side panels, seat and tank, it will be in there somewhere, most likely somewhere amidships.

Do you mean the whole system, or just the can. And why would you want to?

The 500 can be as good a trainer as the 250. The 250 can be plenty of bike, however. There is a bit of a movement back to small bikes right now. the gas mileage is always a plus when prices go up, as they are sure to do at some point in the not-too-distant future. Either one will serve you...

A CRF150 is a fine choice. Is that all the info your mom needs, or does she not want you to ride? I encouraged my kids to ride, and think every parent should do so.

Start with the pivot bolt on the lever perch. If it is too tight, the perch can pinch the lever. Next, see to the cable; lubricate or renew it. One of those issues is the cause of about 98% of stiff clutch problems. If one of those doesn't help, you will need to pull the clutch cover and look...

Choppy has it about right for the pilot mixture screw. To narrow it down, get your idle where you want it. Turn the screw in until the idle drops, counting the turns. then turn the screw out to where the idle drops, again counting the turns. set the mixture screw halfway between those two...

They will be fouled with oil or with fuel. Causes of fuel fouling are: jets too big, choke stuck open, fuel level too high, sticking float, or debris in the needle jet. Oil fouling can be caused by bad rings or valve guides. A dirty air filter could make oil or gas fouling worse. Fouled spark...

I have Honka Hootas on several of my 3-speeds. The bulbs have perished. Simply buying new horns would not be very expensive, but it seems a waste when it would be even cheaper to replace the bulbs, were they available. It's not a light bulb, it's the rubber/plastic horn bulb. Edwardw, thanks, I...

Nothing you have suggested will add noticeable power. The premium gas is a waste of money for that engine, and may actually yield a decrease in power. The intake and exhaust mods will lean out the mixture, calling for a cooler plug, if anything. That is a nice little motor for a mini bike. A...

Know were. I mean, nowhere. You will have to make it.

If that is what you want, my dear, then that is what you should have.
