Motorbike losing power, why?
It's only done 6,500 miles, its a 125 Honda cg, it's only a spare run about bike of mine but it shouldn't be losing power! Got enough clean oil and full tank too (not like petrol should have anything to do with it) Breaks aren't touching ect why is this?
There's a list of things that need maintenance on a regular basis, have they been done?
Air-filter clean?
Valves been adjusted?
Spark plug been changed, properly gapped?
Oil changed with a new filter?
Like Chris said - it might need a tune up.
Water in the exhaust or hard as a stone coal buildup close to the header. Exhausts can be blocked on the rear end sometimes When there's dirt round the opening poke with a stick. Are the spark plug cables properly connected to the caps? A sort of clear coat can have formed on the inside in the fuel tank when you did not ride the bike and little pieces will clog the fuel filter. Condense can gather in the carburettor so you will have to drain the gas in a pot to see. Also the float may have a small leak and gas inside. Search and you will find.
- Why am I slowly losing air in both my left side tires? I have a Honda Prelude 1999. I already took my car to a tire shop. They dunked the 2 tires and said both were fine.
- Prius: Can someone explain the power usage meter & specific difference between power mode and Eco mode? My brother just got me a Prius to replace my old beater Honda and I'm having difficulty understanding the power usage meter (meter on dash with "Charge-Eco-Power") and the difference in the Eco & Power modes. I do understand the charge bit on the meter.
- My honda activa has started losing mileage just after 2 k km - what should I do/check? Initially my activa was giving around 40 km/lit, in city conditions, but since last 100 km the mileage has dropped down to @ 25km/lit; also if the engine is left idling the speed drops and then the engine stalls/stops. Could it be a dirty carburettor or/and something else. I have not changed the grade of fuel or the petrol pump station. Also this has come to notice since my last free service, done in June'14. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
- Why is my Honda CB250 motorbike spewing out so much smoke? When I run my bike it gives off a lot of smoke when riding and at the lights. As far as I can tell it runs fine, but just smokes a lot. It was so bad tonight that the taxi behind me was pretty much engulfed by smoke, so much so I was worried if he could see the road properly or not. I of tern take it on longish distances (over an hour of riding at about 90ks an hour (56 miles. Could that have damaged it ( I know its not exactly designed for that)
