Hi guys. I'm having a weird issue with the bike not running smoothly. On idle it pops a somewhat louder sound intermittently, and when riding at a steady pace at low speeds the running is not steady and at high speeds it intermittently almost like stalls for a half a second, somewhat like...

Hello all, My tranny just died while out in spain, the con rod snapped appaently! I have my eye on a 1996 PD06 engine to replace the old one. I hear that the 1996 engines had a "new whole electronic (TCI) ignition system (new ignition unit, new impulse ignition coils, new ignition advance...

Hello folks, I had an intermittent fault with my 700 for months now. Sometimes it would't start and then sometimes engine would cut out when handlebars were turned to the right. Yesterday I decided to have a proper look and after looking for frayed wires or something out of ordinary I pulled on...

2001 650 Brand new "motobatt" battery fitted recently, all working fine, then one cold morning it only had enough power to turn the engine over twice, then went flat. Battery recharged from the mains. then all starts fine I suspect the Oxford heated grips are killing the battery. They are...

Hi I've just bought an XRV750 Africa Twin after wanting one for a long time and very happy with it. It has developed a ticking noise which is drowned out when engine running but clearly audible when engine off but ignition on. It goes off completely when ignition is switched off. Noise is...

Hello People, A mouse some how got into the left side fairing area and chewed up the entire CDI rubber mounting bracket and a few wires...beyond use now. I am trying to source this rubber bracket. Honda refers to it as - CUSHION CDI UNIT Product number: 30401MY1631 Item no: 1 shown in the...

Hi there! I recently bought my first motorcyle, a 2008 transalp 700 and everytime I turn the ignition off the trip meter resets to 0. Trip , trip A and trip B they al reset. Don't know if it's normal or not. Any solutions for it? Also a noob question: how far up in the tank ca I topup with gas...

just if anyone is interested, over the winter i changed the complete front end of my TA700 with the USD front end from a 97/00 Aprila pegaso, and it was quite an easy swap, just had to change the bearings on the yoke shaft, modify the top yoke to accept the ignition switch & hiss, and fabricate...

I would like to get a decent new ignition coil with the correct wiring already attached to it Anyone know who or where please ?

I have a new-to-me 2005 Transalp V4. Having now read the users manual it stares that when I turn the ignition on the little green 'key' light (immobiliser system indicator) on the RH side of the neutral indicator should turn on for a few seconds and then go off? That does not happen. turn key...

Hello Gents, If I wanted to use an earth fed switch (momentary push type) to kill the ignition, which wire do I need to feed the earth to? The standard Domi kill switch just cuts the power to the CDI, but I am trying to simplify the wiring and switches. Many thanks Jim

Hello My indicators work when the ignition is on and also when the motor is turning and in neutral. As soon as I put it in gear, even with the clutch in, they stop working. Also, perhaps related; - the headlight dims when I am driving and the revs pick up - the neutral gear cut switch (can't...

I am currently restoring a 1980 xl185 and have managed to get a voltage at the input to the coil. I have connected my multimeter to the spade connector from the CDI and the needle bounces about to a maximum of 5v when the bike is kicked over. I guess this is what I should be seeing? I have no...

The last few days I noticed when I start and stop the bike (for example at a shop) the fuel starts clicking to bring fuel back into the lines . This happens sometimes but not every time. But today about 3-4 times the pump has been clicking as soon as you turn on the ignition and keeps on...

When putting my bike back together I found the fuel tap is leaking when in the off position, I had lost my patience in the excitement of hoping it was going to start, to open up the tap and see what was wrong. So anyway the bike fired up as normal :p but it looks like I have a sticking float...

Howdie all My bike has been standing for a while. Ive been slowly fixing the bits that needed doing. Its never had an issue starting. But the old battery stopped holding a charge. Ive recently changed the battery; When I put the new battery in the bike started no problem After 3 weeks now I've...

After about a year sitting I tried starting my RD04 yesterday. It fired but running only on rear cylinder. Fuel gets into cylinders (pluga are wet) and all plugs have spark. Voltages across ignition coils are OK. I tried testing pulse generator voltage as per manual but don't get any reading...

I've recently purchased a 2000 Model Dominator, unfortunately with no key. I took off the helmet lock at the left hand rear frame loop, and the number inside is 382. I have also taken off the ignition switch, and the petrol cap, which both have N08 or 80N depending on which way you view it. I...

Good afternoon, A new post because I need help. I am about to complete full restore of my motorbike. 2 monthes ago, I start the engine and stop it quickly. And I never succeed to restart again. I checked spark plugs, wires, ignition coils, CDI, pulse generator, valves and carburators...
