Fuel issue or valves?

Sup. My bike usually does this after I leave it overnight or if i don’t ride for a while. Idk if it’s time for a valve adjustment, possibly a fuel issue, or a weak battery? Bike has about 16k miles. Once warm it doesn’t have this problem. Could be normal or i’m just paranoid from my previous r6.

Help

I have a little to no spark issue. I'm trying to get my dad's 1987 Yamaha banshee running again. It ran before it sat for a couple months and it didn't want to start. I've put new spark plugs and coils on it and spark plug wires that whole works and I don't want to throw a CDI box on it just to throw a part on it. Sometimes it sounds like it hits but won't fire. Any help would be much appreciated and I have a feeling it's probably something really simple. But I'm not a mechanic. I'm just a kid trying to do something for my dad

Axle Cover After Spacers

I put 1 1/4” spacers on my Kodiak 700 because I intend to run larger tires. This plastic (axle cover?) is quite able to move around in that little space. Is there a deeper replacement for such modifications? Or should I take them off all together? Or is this a nonissue? Thank you for your time and I hope this doesn’t get taken down!

I was looking to buy this Yamaha R3 2024 6500KMs

Something looks odd about the wiring harness, seller says it’s because of a tune. I also ended up finding two of the same listing of the same bikes but with reversed photos on Facebook marketplace which is sketching me out. It’s listed for $5800 CAD.

-Sellers description

The bike is reliable, runs strong, and is ready to ride. Selling for a good price compared to other R3s currently listed.

Picked up this 1986 Virago XV700 from a scrap pile for my first bike. Any advice? Doing a full rebuild

I got the engine out and I’m planning to take it apart and rebuild it ground up. New wiring, new cluster, rebuilt engine. Seams self explanatory (I’ve worked on cars, never bikes)

Anything I should be aware of before, during, and after?

Trx450 or Yfz450r ?

I’m 21 looking to purchased a used race quad, I heard great things about Honda and there reliable engines and easy to work on. The problem is they don’t manufacture them no more so I feel like parts would come by harder. Now on to the YFZ, heard it’s reliable but not as the Honda. Is there certain years I should stay away from? Since they still manufacture them, what years should I get if I do go yfz route ?

DT 125 Ténéré manual

Hello everyone I'm looking for a service manual for my Yamaha DT 125 Ténéré. Since it's both an old and rare motorcycle I can't find the manual online for my model and I was hoping someone might have a pdf or might have the actual manual. The exact model is a 1990 Yamaha DT 125 (lc2 I believe) ténéré Chesterfield scout. I'm trying to fix some electrical problems but one of the previous owners messed up the wiring so much it's physically painful to even look at it let alone try to fix this ungodly abomination.

What emulsion tubes are compatible with the 1991 FZR600R?

The emulsion tubes are ovaled out and I need new ones.

Almost everywhere says they’re discontinued and the only ones I found on cmsnl are gonna cost nearly $240 for all 4

Are there any cross compatible ones or different years that would work? Maybe some after markets or some anyone’s willing to sell? Any help would be genuinely appreciated

My Unicorn MT01

This is my 2008 MT-01. I have had 2 of these rare beasts and every time I travel with it to the US (I live in Alberta, Canada) it attracts a lot of attention and questions. Simply put, it's the most magical riding experience I have had on any bike. Feel free to ask me anything about it. I just got home from a trip through Washington, Oregon and Idaho.
