    Hello wide world of bike enthusiasts. I have a small problem I was hoping I could find the solution to. I have a 1978 Honda xl175 that I've owned for about 10 years.

The headlight and horn do not work, unless the bike is in neutral and the clutch lever is pulled in. And then I only have a low beam on the headlight. I have checked the fuses and they are all...

    I'm looking to purchase a new carb for my 2006 Honda Scooter. It's an Elite 80. To be honest, I've been searching for this carb for a while. I haven't found ANYTHING that lists a carb specifically for that scooter. Is there a different sized carb that is used for this particular scooter?

    So, I'm looking for some advice for my first bike. I’ve heard so many great things about Nighthawks, and I’m thinking about buying this bike from someone off of Craig’s List for $750. The only thing is the gas tank has a hole in it, which the owner says he’s welding right now. I guess that...
