    What could be wrong with this bike?

    To check the spark remove the plug and by some means [you'll need to be clever here] hold it against the cylinder head to ground it [no hands please]. Observe the plug for spark while trying to start. Exhaust has slotted mounting flange. Loosen the 2 bolts, tap into place and re tighten. Sounds...

    Yamaha R6 skipping and heating up?

    Could it simply be bad gas "water" No, could be preignition from low octane fuel. That is a high compression engine. Using premium? Do they sell a "summer blend" in Florida? Could be a culprit. or the o2 censer? No not even the O2 sensor but a lean fuel injection mixture could cause hot...

    Which is a better bike the 2009 sv650 or the 2009 Yamaha R6s?

    Both your choices are unsuitable for carrying a passenger any distance and neither is a "simple" bike to work on. So tell the truth. You really want a horsepower monster to thrash until it dies and hopefully that will take a while to accomplish. Get the Suzuki or start looking for a 2 up bike if...

    Yamaha Raptor engine bogging?

    Fuel overflow is probably from dirt/crud in the tank causing the float valve to not close properly. You probably have ingested some of this dirt into the carb. you may have also created an air leak at the bowl if you did not use a new gasket. do you run a fuel filter?

    How do I get my Suzuki Dealer to replace my Battery?

    Don't go back to the dealer and make them suffer your ignorance. A lead acid battery left unused will begin to sulfate sometimes in as little as a week. you do need to purchase a float charger and keep your battery on it whenever it will not be in use for more than a few days. You will also need...
