I just rode it around the garage for 10 minutes in circles. I was able to shut the choke all the way off. Running well now. I am confused, it took so long to get it going.

I am not sure. Its running now. The battery was on a trickle charger when i was doing all the work with the carbs, but not sure about voltage.

So I am on the motorcycle right now. Its actually running with the chocke all the way on. It wont die, it keeps running, been 5 minutes now. If I try to put it in gear and ride off, the rpms will keep coming down until it dies. I can rev it to about 4 k rpm, then it comes down to 1.5. But...

Hey folks, So I got the carbs out, I purchased a carb re-build set and took them to a guy who cleaned the carbs and re-installed the new set and we put it back in the bike. We got the bike to run, it was running great. I rode it in the underground, did a few laps. I shut it off and left it...

I could see the chest strap working. But honestly, If I see someone wearing an entire iPhone attached to the helmet, that just looks silly.

When I purchased my bike last year the dealers left zero room for bargaining and they want to charge astronomical amounts for a service intervals. It's insane. The mechanics and sales people aren't getting paid as much as they deserve to be honest, so the guys at the top are keeping all the loot.

Over the last couple of days I worked on getting the carbs out of the bike. I am doing a full carb clean up. I also changed the air filter to a K and N filter. Here are some photos Finally! Having said that, during the removal process, I realized that there is a hose that is supposed...

A 45 day tow is likely a breach of Criminal Code conditions not to operate a motor vehicle (disqualified from driving Canada Wide.) This usually stems from criminal code conviction for drinking and driving, dangerous driving, etc... Sadly a lot of times the owner allows the person to drive, and...

What would be reasonable to pay to get carbs cleaned out and pilots replaced?

edit: there are a lot of EX250 variations. Looks like your petcock could indeed have only PRI and ON positions (random ebay pic). Even if you don't have an OFF position, you can usually clear flooding by holding the throttle open 50% while you thumb the starter. Would I want it on PRI or On...

The gasoline still smells like gasoline, but its much more faint, I just feel like the gasoline in here has a bit of a darker texture (like slightly golden/brown color), the regular gasoline feels like it looks more clear.

Agreed, thats why I mentioned in my first post, I would draw the line there and tow it to my local repair shop.

I can’t be sure but likely old. i dont have access to multimeter, my battery charges shows a solid green light to indicate the battery is fully charged and good to go basically.

Hey Ash, I had not done that. I just checked it and the motorcycle only has two positions on the fuel petcock, One says “PRI” and the other says “ON” The motorcycle was on PRI, which also means it was that way for the entire time it was sitting. I turned it over to on and tried to start, it...

Yesterday I picked up a Ninja 250, which will be my partners first starter/learner bike. its a 2010 Ninja 250R. It has had 3 owners. It's last owner is an older gentleman who had become too busy to ride. He rode the bike 1 single time in the 2021 season. As far as I am concerned, the bike had...

I was in the market for a car in 2021. I was looking at WRX and STI's. The used ones were asking for a price that is only 1-3k less than brand new, and they had 60,000 km + on them, and I had to run the risk of buying a car some clown tunes and tracked the crap out of it! Sometimes new is...

That is absurd. Imagine spending all that money on a brand new car, and the engine needs replacing, and you had not owned it for even 10 minutes. Ofcourse the value is going to go down too....

That car is a bit expensive for me. I really like the new Z or the new model of the BRZ/86. The BRZ/86 is just a bit slow, and lacks turbo which sucks. The Z is perfect for me as long as there is no stupid dealer mark ups like the Type R had for an example. As for the Supra, if I could afford...

I heard rumors that the new ones (not sure which year) will have a manual transmission. Like an actual gear shifter! Me personally I would want that, otherwise I would order the new Z. right now driving a WRX.
