SOURCE: gear/clutch problem

does not seem like the waterpump. is the clutch set too loose?
usually in wire based clutches, if the clutch cable is set to be too loose, or if it is frayed, and needs replacement, the bike will jump and stall.
check that.

SOURCE: I have a suzuki drz 125l 2004 model that currently

okay theres a couple possable things that can cause this .... carbon on the valves, ran hard,not frequent oil changes, low on oil, cheap oil, spark plugg is too long , too much oil somtimes causes this,crank case breather plugged,it all depends on the way it was treated in the past or the present
i change my oil about every 15-20 hours keeps debre down and less friction on engine,remember this is not water cooled! so use the best 10-40 oil or atleast good known oil and run some seafoam through the gas,it will take that carbon off . and if you dont have a inline fuel filter u should get one they really save carbs and there only $3.00 at oreily! hope this helps <walker>

SOURCE: The bike will not go into neutral gear when engine running

my husqvarna sm450r does exactly the same thing and my girlfriends yam virago is just as bad, i think some bikes are just too tight, rocking works or try finding neutral as you roll to a stop, on both our bikes it does the trick... nothing worse than trying to find neutral with your hand lol

Dude 48 bikes, impressive! im up to 9 in 20 months since my Ls :)

SOURCE: Suzuki GSF400 Bandit problems with tick over.

as you have replaced carbs you will need to retune for fuel intake also check its getting enough air ie.. air filter has been changed or is clogged

REPLACED CLUTCH ON ZR 550 CLUTCH ENGAGES , BUT WHEN FULLY RELEASED BIKE JUDDERS THEN STALLS OUT . TRY TO ADJUST & GEARS WONT ENGAGE .

So if you raise the revs to say about 4000 rpm and let the clutch out does it stall or judder or both will it engage at all and pull away ?

Check the cam timing and the ignition timing. If the engine is firing at the wrong time it will make turning over difficult.

My geo metro egine have a ticking sound

If you have adjusted your valves and the ticking persists then try changing your exhaust manifold gasket. A leaking exhaust manifold gasket will often make a loud ticking sound.

I can get the engine started with the aid of the choke but cannot get the engine to rev at all. the engine just stops at anything near 2000 rpm. have had both carb stripped down and cleaned as the bike has...

Hi Roy ,

Your bike has been sitting in storage and the fuel is too old ad is stale by now .
Re open the carby , clean it properly with new fuel , all the jets need to be inspected for dirt or residue left by the old fuel , drain all the fuel out of the tank and replace it by new fuel .
The old fuel leaves a deposit film which needs to be clean so the best way is to pour a little fuel into your tank , shake the tank to clean it and drain it again .
Make sure that all gasket in the carby are clean or new as extra air intake will make the bike run rough .
Try all this and you will see that the bike will run better .

GSX-R 750 Starter Ticks

sounds like the starter soliniod to me have you tried to bump start it?To do this get it onto a flat or slightly down hill road them put it into 2nd gear pull the clutch in and start pushing as fast as possible as soon as you have it going as fast as you can jump on board and as the bike takes your weight let the clutch out the bike should fire. Ps have you put new fuel in it as old fuel degrades and gums every thing up
