Why is my motorcycle not putting power to the ground?
This is a 1974 Honda CL450.
When I hold the clutch lever in and hit the gas the tach displays (and engine feels/sounds) as if it is smoothly going up and down the full range of rpm.
However, in any gear, the bike sputters and has almost no power… As if it can't translate what the engine is doing to the wheel.
I can go 0-60 in about 30 seconds… Downhill… A big hill.
If anyone has the time… I'd appreciate a trouble shooting rundown that I could do myself before paying an arm per hour in shop labor.
I'm no mechanic, but I'm intelligent enough and decent with my hands so feel free to put it all out there.
Vacuum leak. You are getting too lean when you add a load. Use spray ether to look for it when your engine is cold.
- 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.
- Why do I have no power to my motorcycle? I have a 1980 Honda Cm400T it passed inspection a few weeks ago and I rode it two times after that. Then I parked it in my garage because it was getting colder outside, few more days later I tried starting it up again but once I turned the key in the ignition no power nothing at all, no lights, nothing. I renewed all the fuses, even charged the battery since it only had 12.03 volts. I don't know what else to check and why there's no power at all.
- Why won't my car won't start after putting in gas? I have a 2007 civic, 80,000 miles, about a year old battery. Yesterday after I filled up the gas tank my car wouldn't start. Waited about 1 minute and it started fine. This had happened about 4 months ago (I had it checked at Honda) and they said it was okay. But today I went a short distance (15 minutes from home left the car for about 5) and my car didn't want to start. What could it be?
- Putting LED lights in a new '15 Civic? So I have a new Honda Civic and I want to upgrade all the Exterior lights to LEDS, I was wondering if they have to be CANBUS or can I use regular LEDS? Also do the new civics have CANBUS in them?
