    Hey guys, so i got my first bike a while back. This 75' suzi is a gorgeous little thing and i've fixed nearly everything on it now. the only problem still standing is the slow discharge of my battery when riding. It comes to noones surprise that the old school dc dynamo charging system on this...

    Hey guys! Hope your'e all well! I have a problem with my 2000 GSX750F and I'm trying to find the root cause. When my bike has been left over night, my starter motor will just click for ages. Eventually after 15 mins the starter motor will suddenly catch and it will work fine and I'll be on my...

    So I am actually extremely new in the motorcycle world and have no experience fixing engines or messing with electrical wiring inside of a bike. That being said, I bought a new set speakers for my bike that use a dc hookup straight from the amp to go on to the battery. Would it be better to just...

    I have a dead 12V bike battery for a 1998 Yamaha Razz scooter. I saw this video, and figured if it's good enough for a mercedes, then why not? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMPuzmhYCQc Yet, I'm not going to risk it. Without good enough proof first... I digress... I want to take a newly...

    I've been troubleshooting my 1975 Suzuki TS185 charging system for a while now and am a bit of a dead end. While riding the bike the battery will not charge and if I ride for about 40 miles the battery will be completely discharged. At that point pretty much none of my lights work... blinkers...
