Motorcycle problem 2003 vtr250?
Added (1). i recently purchased a honda vtr250 2003 model with 20,000 miles on the tach. There's 2 major problems.
1 being that the bike does not rev past 5 k rpm (no sputtering, backfiring or jerking). Its almost like there's a rev limiter at 5k.
2nd being that the tach needle bounces alot at all rpm ranges.
Any help or input would be highly appreciated, thanks.
I think it might be your regulator/rectifier on the fritz or possibly the alternator.
The load on the ignition circuit increases with revs and when it hits 5000, the voltage isn't enough to fire the plugs every power stroke and it stops revving. This also would explain the tacho jumping.
You need to check the battery volts when the bike is running. You should have about 12.5 at idle and 14.5V at high revs.
- Where should I start in getting my 1989 Honda VTR250 to run again? It was running when it was stored 10 years ago. I want to get it running again. Battery is an obvious but where should I start? Do you think it will need any major/ expensive repairs? I've been told it should easily get running with a bit of work, what exactly does that mean?
- You say do I need to keep the Bell helmet the renter wore when he slipped, and crashed my motorcycle? My motorcycle is the 2008? Honda CBR600RR super sport motorcycle. The Cofounder of Riders- Share.Com compensated me the full amount of the motorcycle repairer's written damage estimate. I was also fully compensated for the helmet, which the renter wore when he crashed my motorcycle and my helmet.
- Motorcycle problem is it my fault or the drivers? I'm a learner I drive a 50cc Honda bop 2. I was at the lights they where green I wasn't ready to go. I didn't go then suddenly stop. A women drove in the back of me and broke the brake light. Completely smashed I pulled over to the side moved my bike to the path-meant and went to talk to her. Insurance details etc she didn't give me a chance to speak all she said was the lights where green. And drove off. Is this my fault or hers? I'm really upset about it
- Motorcycle Electrical Problem. Power Commander 3 light flickers when indicators are turned on? Seem to have a lot of problems with the wiring of my motorcycle. Previous owner really messed it up. Sent it to a mechanic for him to fix the headlight and taillight wiring because they don't work. That was more than two months ago! Apparently he is busy and I don't know what else. Bike is a 2000 Honda cbr1100xx Blackbird. Problem now is the lights on the power commander 3 start to flicker when the indicators are activated. What is the cause of this? Bike starts and runs fine btw.
