IV. TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

Motorcycle won’t start - check for:

Spark at plug

- if weak or no spark, check coil ground, disconnect kill switch, and check ohm readings for coil & stator.

Fouled spark plug

- replace, adjust jetting as needed.

Fuel flow to carburetor

- if no flow from hose, make sure there is gas in tank and fuel valve is on. Make sure choke is on

if engine is cold. Clean fuel filter and/or remove debris from fuel valve and hose. Clean carburetor.

Plugged air filter

- clean and reoil.

Low compression

- check reeds, combustion chamber o-ring, piston and rings.

Motorcycle runs poorly - check:

Jetting

- use choke and plug reading to adjust as needed.

Spark plug gap and condition

- make sure coil has good ground. Replace plug and adjust jetting as needed.

Spark

- if spark seems weak with a new plug, check coil ground and ohm readings for coil and stator assemblies.

fuel

- make sure fuel flows readily from gas line. Remove float bowl and check for dirt and float operation & adjustment.

Air leaks

- spray carburetor cleaner around carburetor, intake boots and reed block and see if idle changes.

Air cleaner

- make sure air cleaner is clean and properly oiled. Make sure oil isn’t dripping into carburetor.

Compression

- if compression is low, check condition of reeds and then replace piston ring and/or piston. 

Exhaust

- if power is down, check for large dents, blown out silencer packing or heavy carbon fouling.

Engine

- make sure motor mount bolts are tight.

Brakes are dragging or not working - check for:

Mud or dirt jamming piston

- disassemble caliper, clean thoroughly and lubricate.

Worn pads

- adjust caliper freeplay and/or replace brake pads

Worn cables

- clean and lubricate cables or replace as needed.

Suspension not working well - check for:

Oil leaks from forks or shock shaft

- have forks or shock serviced.

Check for proper sag adjustment

- adjust spring preload or install heavier or lighter springs as needed.

Adjust shock settings

- adjust compression and rebound settings for track conditions.

Check shock bushings

- replace worn or binding shock bushings

Binding forks

- loosen front axle pinch bolt, bounce forks several times and tighten pinch bolt.

Loose steering stem

- check and tighten steering adjusting nut

Loose swingarm bolt

- Tighten swingarm bolt, check swingarm for proper movement. Clean/grease bushings as needed.
