Just start at the front and work you way back.. IE, spin the ft wheel, make sure it's true and not bent. Remove the axle, roll and make it's not bent. Then pull each fork. If bent, it'll most likely be at the lower triple clamp(just below it). With both tubes removed, rotate the entire...

First, looking at the pic of the bike layed over, I'd suspect that spill to be from the fuel tank over flow / vent hose. The hose comes out on the right side of the bike, near the foot peg That radiator still holds water??? If no visible damage to the engine cases and the oil is still full...

It's not unusual for the lower compression with an engine sitting for a long time. Once running, a re-check will often show an increase... With the compression you have now and 5% leak down, your fine... A little spritz of oil down each cylinder before starting wouldn't hurt.. .

The clock doesn't show un-less the key is on... Edit, yes mines an S2.. .

If your CO settings are stock, from the factory, I would NOT mess with them. You need to find the issue itself (seems your on your way). **Should you decide to change the CO settings, RECORD THE ORIGINAL #'s and don't loose them.. Each bike is different .

Keep it simple. -Get a / some known good OEM spark plugs. -Pull one at a time, the spark plug wire from the already / installed plugs. -Attach to the new plug to the wire, ground it to the head/block, etc and crank the engine over. You should EASILY SEE SPARK... Were all replaced OEM...

I'd guess likely under the battery box... .

Yup, what's described is definitly not normal... May want to try the string alignment method between the wheels, perhaps a bent frame, something tweeked. Make sure both wheels are aligned.... .

2" exactly at it's tightest point, well lubricated. You will feel, not good, 1.75". Looser than 2", shifting will be sloppy. What is the condition / mileage of the chain and sprockets? You could very well have some kinks in there if the PO neglected it. If, say at 30 MPH, steady light...

Pull the air filter, Spray a second or two down each throttle bore. The engine spinning over quickly rules out the starter or starter gear, being an issue... I'd bing it back to the mechanic as the issue is obviously still there. Let him ride it/take it home if need be, till it acts up... .

It obviously should be lighting off immediately. No more than 1-2 seconds. Back to basic's, check for fuel (getting there immediately). Again, a spritz of carb cleaner (or equivalent), when cranking, plz post if it lights off or not. If it doesn't lick off, likely lack of spark...

That starter is spinning just fine, I don't believe there's any excess load to the starter. Lights would dim, but not go on and off entirely at the dash(as if turned off).. The entire dash going dead, on and off occasionally is one of your issues. As stated earlier, try a spritz of starting...

It appears your loosing complete power on and off during your cranking cycle (as if the key was turned off). I agree, that isn't hydro locked... You have an electrical issue somewhere killing the entire system. I'd be leaning towards the ignition, or such, for the complete momentary lose of...

Happy Birthday!!!!! .

Click bait... There's not ONE bee moving in the video, AI or just flat out phony. Actually looks like some cloth, with bee "imprints" stuffed to the brim.. But yep, summer is here! .

Do you have the piece that broke off? If so, as the bearing still seems fully supported I would look about for a good TIG welder. Removing the sprocket / starter cleaning up (really cleaning) that nasty mess could make it possible to weld that piece back in... Pretty much, it just needs to...

Shoot, no crash at the end??? .

She's' way too pretty to sell..... I couldn't NOT have 2 wheels, just couldn't do it, and I'm 67.. But you gotta do what you have to do.. Hopefully, you'll still stick around here!! .

You do have some wear on the outer basket. Can you measure / post the high vs low thickness''? It doesn't look bad enough to cause your major issue however, If their really bad, it would hamper movement/releasing of the plates. The fix for that would be another basket W/O the wear. You could...

Does the inner basket spin freely (as shown)? No binding / looseness? .
