    Major chain issue HELP

    I have no clue what happened. The popping noise was the chain popping at low speed. Nothing is broken, it's just not there. I'm at a total loss as to what happened.

    Need help, hard starting

    The starting issue was electrical. Spark was weak. With upgraded coil, and basically replacing all the electrical connections, and cleaning the grounds throughout the entire bike, it has fixed the problem. As to the lean running suggestions, I did move the needle back to its original position...

    clutch cover gasket

    sounds to me like the vent may be blocked. that would cause over pressure inside the casing which has to find a way out. it will find the weakest point. it also could be damage to the case. there could be a very small defect in either of the mounting surfaces. check both very closely for a...

    Need help, hard starting

    spark seems weak to me. I will be getting a new coil for it very soon because everything seems to have been exposed to the elements. I have spent tons of time cleaning grounds and connections. I tend to agree that it seems like a compression issue or an airleak issue. I just got back...
