A friend of mine bought a bike (kz750ltd, not CB). I rode it back for him (he's learning). The lady notorized a bill of sale, but only for ten dollars (paid $1600). I rode it back not knowing this, and not knowing the dude took the license plate off either. The guy claims he sent the title...

I know a guy who swear his CB900 is a way bigger bike than the CB750. Every piece of information I've read on the internet doesn't claim its longer or taller at all. It appears to me all the DOHC bikes share basically everything. The key differences I could find is the cylinder size, or deck...

I recently had my two chain tensioners reset. The engine seemed pretty dead quiet, but a tiny bit of noise that is only audible if not in traffic, at idle, has creepd back in. Would that be normal or am I looking at pulling the engine to replace chains? The noise goes away with a tiny rev, but...

I just had a valve job done by a very competent man. He also synced the carbs and tuned them. Cam chains were tensioned properly (while engine is warm). He found that one spark plug wasn't seated right because of tiny debris, fixed that. But for some reason I still get some, and he isn't sure...

Whenever I stop riding I can smell gas. I know my gas lid isn't perfectly tight because when my friend turned it upside down when I had it off, it came out the top. Is that normal? How would I fix it if it isn't? It doesn't explain the smell after riding, however. I don't see any wet spots...

So I gave my bike an oil change and it turns over much better now without the water in it! (I used some seafoam, but couldn't get it running, just turned it over a bunch). It gives a few thumps but won't start. The thumps are fairly rough. I'm worried the points are filthy. The spark plugs are...

The other day I was getting white smoke out of my 1&2 engine pipe. Don't know why, it was hard to keep running unless I gave it throttle. I was worried it was running lean. I've tuned the carbs a bit richer, but when playing around the 3&4 gave off a little white smoke too. My bike has been...
