Sparking due too loose fitting of the negative terminal to the chassis. Check all ground points of the wiring harness. The anchoring screw may be loose.

SOURCE: 1998 Honda Goldwing will not start nothing.

Sort of sounds like a Twilight Zone kind of problem doesn't it. I would have the battery checked for an internal dead short. This is something that happens on odd occasions and can happen even to a new battery. Yea, the little lights will work ( they do not draw much juice ), but the starter motor draws a lot of juice and a shorted battery just ain't got it. Also check the wiring harness connections. One loose connection can cause bunches of trouble.

SOURCE: honda cb750 f2 1978fault on old bike ! electrical problem

From your explanation it sure sounds electricals, but surprising to hve a total failure to the electricals and thn it reappears after 30seconds!
Best would be to go through the wiring especially frm the battery onwards, the fuse box .
Since it is totally disappearing it should be a fault to those main wires could be lose connections somewhere!.
Hope this helps.

SOURCE: I have an 04 RMZ 250 I just re-shimmed the valves

sounds like maybe valves were shimmed too tight,check service manual for clearances...better a little loose than too tight,can cause alot of damage to cam & head,be careful!!

Remove the fuel tank , side covers , and seat. Take your carburetor off , clean and inspect it. Check the carburetor top diaphragm. Make sure all the jets are in place and the passageways through the body are clear as well as the jets are clear. Squirt carburetor cleaning fluid through them. Most of all inspect the intake boot for rips tears and separation. Make sure your mixture screw is set to 2 full turns. Reassemble and your problem should be solved.

I have a 1992 yamaha virago 1100. my headlights and turn signals work fine but no parking lights

start with checking your fuses, if all three running lights are not working (front two and rear running/brake) then it should be power related. if your fuse is ok check you bulbs, it's ez and quick.
if you haven't found your power it's time to get out the test light. Start at the fuse block and work way to the lights when loss power you found your problem. If your fuse is blown we now that something made it blow, replace the bulb (if one is blown) and turn on the bike with a new fuse, if blows test for ground on the power wire this the bike off. a multimeter on the ohm setting is the easiest way to do this. now this can take a bit it there is a short in the wire take your time and you'll do fine.

My Yamaha FZ 400CC no second engine start

Faulty re-wiring can be cause of the overheating. The re-wiring of the armateur should be "heavy gauged" to handle large amperes. overheated starters, cause is short circuit. Have the starter re-wired.... also, carbon brush should be replaced if worn out.
