Next storage cycle, add some fuel stabilizer to the remaining gas; works well. Try giving the engine a shot of engine starting fluid (ether). Buy it at any parts store or most department stores.

Hi, they are both fantastic bike i would personally like to have but since you only want one of them, i will advise you get the 2002 Suzuki VL 800 which share almost similar specification in terms of the engine and transmission with the 2007 Honda Shadow 750 but the 2002 Suzuki VL 800 is older and stronger with better engine performance and value for money than the Honda
The Suzuki is also cost effective when it comes to repair and accident low risk because of it reliability....

You can do most anything with a hacksaw and a drill. But... stop and ask yourself if you really want to ****** up a $700 set of mufflers. Will the butchered bike sell better or worse when you sell it? When the chrome is cut the metal will begin to rust. Not pretty in a buyers eyes. Instead of going for Loud and Proud, why not go for Quick and Quiet? Installing a race cam would be more fun and would increase the resale price. Just food for thought.

There are rebuild kits for most petcocks on bikes. I think the average kit is around 25 bucks, but sometimes as much a 40. Depending upon how much you have to spend or how much you care, there are a few gasket sealers that may work too. I've had luck with the 1 minute gasket sealer before, but gasoline is pretty harsh on anything like that. If you take it apart (should just be a couple of screws on the backside) see if you can find anything damaged and that the diaphragm is working. If not, replace that thing. If it is, well you can try and go the cheap route and use the sealer around the edge. Don't get a ton of it on there since it will break off inside if the excess goes there, and that can plug things up. Good luck..

replace the alternator.
That is what charges the battery.

Check your fuse box, your main fuse is probably blown. Some times the main fuse is located on or by the starter solenoid. If all the fuses are good you may be having problems with a dirty or broken contact base on your ignition switch.

Product called motorcote?something like that,bad speller.It's oil additive.Plus octane booster.

UNDER THE SEAT

check if neutral indicator switch is activated, sometimes it may shift a bit and though the bike is in neutral the switch isn't quite engaged

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

On most versions of Roketa 150cc engines, the choke is automatic and electrically driven..  It is integrated with the carburetor.

Good luck and thank you for asking FixYa.

Behind the radiator on the left side. It is the device with cooling fins, even though the electronic parts are embedded in rubber paste.The location isn't ideal and sudden defects leave people stranded so what people do is relocate the regulator/rectifier to a cooler place. Perhaps to the air inlet, under the air filter. Follow the three, mostly, yellow cables that originate from the stator when you don't find it behind the radiator.

What do you mean by "Midway"? How old is this motorbike? What exactly did you do to clean the carburettor? Is it a new spark plug and a new, clean air filter? Did you empty the fuel tank to remove the fuel tap to clean the filter on the inside of the tap? Is it doing anything else? Things like - is it hard to start, has heavier exhaust smoke or it has a rough and uneven idle.

A broken timing chain is the most likely cause, the piston is hitting an open valve, or you have a dropped valve or a stuck valve. Another possibility is something jamming behind behind the side covers.The key would be how you discovered this? Driving along at 105 and the engine stopped, or ???https://www.google.com/search?q=2009+suzuki+boulevard+timing+chain+or+timing+belt....

You can't, the computerized system is in place to stop exactly what you are trying to do, Steal the bike without the correct credentials. You can't reprogram or over-ride the computer. You need a bike electrician.

The crank case will be almost as hot as the oil flowing around the engine, lubricating the bearings.
