Hey, im having a similar problem. Did you find a solution?

these clocks do go like that....a known problem...will have to replace with new or 2nd hand one

idle jet in carb could be blocked or check throttle cablemight need ajusting

Check on the tire sidewall and look for Max PSI.

The problem is probably you carb. float is sticking open,you need to check the float bowl to see if it has fluid inside the float,the float may have a crack in it ,if so you will need to replace with a new one. to get to the float you have to take the lower half of the carb apart,it should only take one screw to seperate it.

When not using your motorcycle on a regular basis, always put some fuel stabilizer in the gas. If the gas seems stale drain the tank and mix the old fuel with good fuel by in your automobile or lawnmower and burn it there (no waste). Put fresh fuel in the motorcycle tank. Try draining the carburetor bowl, pull the fuel line off at the tank, put a squirt of carburetor cleaner down the fuel line. Chevron Techron is an excellent fuel additive for cleaning up a gummy carburetor. Be sure and check the the spark plug in the motorcycle is sparking and not fouled. If you check the spark plug for spark right before you are going to try and start the bike, put an eye dropper full of gas into the spark plug hole right before you screw the plug in to prime the machine.

Sounds like its still starving for gas.I would check the fuel petcock if that`s working fine I would reclean the carb. Hope this helps

you may have bent , or just twisted in the housing one of the forks ,, check the alignment of each , if it just twisted loosen the bolts for the hold downs of the fork assembly and align, if its bent ,, you must replace it

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news, if the wire broke, you'll have to replace the entire speedometer sensor. It operates on a magnetic system that sends a signal to the relay (usually inside the headlight housing). The older direct drive cable system was more robust, but also more expensive to manufacture.

25-28psi front and 35-45psi for the rear will be fine unless you carry a fat passenger???ha ha sorry!

If google and manufacturer website are of no help then ask a search agency like http://manualfox.com - They do a great job.
The service is not for free, but often worthy (you only pay if they find what you are asking for).

Get yourself some " Contact cleaner" aerosol to clean the contacts in your ignition barrel. Access should be fairly easy if you remove the headlight and fairing.
Sounds like you have been in mud or dust, contamination has most likely got into the switch.
Check and clean the kill switch on the handlebars while you are at it.
Happy Trails!

You got it, faulty starter solenoid or wiring from switch to solenoid.

Silly question but is the kill switch on??

check spark plugs

Can you slowly increase the revs? It sounds like an accelerator pump or debris in the carb.

dont know the bike but sounds like petrol starvation once choke put in

yes
