    Help with vacuum lines on 1984 Suzuki RM 125?

    The hoses on each side of the carburetor are vent tubes. The hose on the bottom is the drain hose for the float bowl - if the float bowl over fills, the excess gas will drain out of that hose. All three hoses route around the back of the engine and down to the ground. They don't connect to...

    Clean the carburetor again. Remove the pilot jet and hold it up to the light - you should be able to see through it. If not, clean it until you can.

    what bike to buy for a fist motocross/fun bike for my 11 year old son with no...

    Bring your kid to all the motorcycle dealers in your area and let him sit on the bikes. The most important thing when buying a first bike is to make sure you can handle it (not to big for you). Ask a salesman for help and advice. Then buy a used bike of that model.

    Is it easier for my mechanic to rebuild my 90cc engine if it isn't on the bike?

    2 stroke engine - rebuilding the top end - the same in, or out of the frame. Keep in mind, there's is no guarantee if you bring in just the engine. The mechanic has no way to run the engine to test for leaks, or to even see if it runs after the rebuild. Since you are planing to remove the...

    1998 Honda Shadow Switch?

    If the switch is not on the handlebars, but directly mounted into one of the lights on the aftermarket light bar - it would be the on/off switch for the lights on the light bar. When installing a light bar on any bike - it's simpler to just wire the lights into the high beam of the headlight...

    Just failed my bike test. still dont understand why :S?

    If you feel like you did a good job, don't lose any sleep over it. Just take the test again. Sometimes it's the test instructor that "failed" to give the test properly. The instructor could have been having a bad day (like the one I had on my first test). I passed my test, but he had checked off...

    Honda Shadow vs Yamaha Virago, any insights or opinions?

    Avoid the Virago at all costs - starter clutch problems. Of the 2 Shadows, I would recommend the 2001 600cc 1985 is over twenty years old and will be very difficult to locate parts. Most shops won't work on any bike over 10 years old (same reason as above).

    guys: do u keep arguing with ur girl (or any girl) when...?

    I get fed up with the arguing and say "I don't want to talk about it anymore. Change the subject." After a few hours when everything cools down, I'll present my case with proof to back it up (if I'm right). If I was wrong, I'll just say "You were right before, I'm sorry." As to your problem...
