Noise when bike is off, Air compressor?
If you cut the bike off using the kill switch, but left the ignition key turned on, the electric cooling fan behind the radiator will sometimes come on for a little while. Turning off the ignition key will stop the fan.

hay there i wood have a look at the ignion coil frist then check the pic up coils these have that afect wen faulty . next id be look ing at the igniter box but these are a bit hard to test
Little noise when bike is off intermitant like a little motor
You already know that it persists. No electric motor will run with the battery disconnected. That is a given. What you need to do is find the motor and find out why it is getting power when it shouldn't. There are 3 possibilities; fuel pump, air pump and cooling fan. Chances are the ignition switch is bad and providing power to the electric motor even when the bike is turned off.

Honda PC50 moped VIN decoder
To read the serial number on a Honda PC50 moped, follow these steps:
Locate the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number): The VIN is a unique code that provides information about your moped. On a Honda PC50, you can find the VIN in the following places:
Under the Air Filter Cover: Look on the left-hand side, just above the engine. The VIN should be stamped there. It typically looks like this: PC50 - 1234567.
Frame Number: The frame number is another term for the VIN. It's usually located near the air filter body.
Decode the VIN: The VIN contains important details about your moped, including the year of manufacture. Here's how to interpret it:
The 9th digit of the VIN is a check digit.
The 10th digit represents the year code. For example:
A = 1980
B = 1981
C = 1982
D = 1983
E = 1984
F = 1985
G = 1986
H = 1987
J = 1988
K = 1989
L = 1990
M = 1991
N = 1992
P = 1993
R = 1994
S = 1995
T = 1996
V = 1997
W = 1998
X = 1999
1 = 2000
2 = 2001
3 = 2002
Note that if your scooter was manufactured between February 1986 and February 1987, it's likely to be a '87 model;
Additional Resources:
If you have the full VIN, you can use the NHTSA VIN decoder to get detailed information about your moped.
Alternatively, you can call Honda with your VIN, and they will provide you with the necessary information.

1998 Honda VTR 1000 F Firestorm engine oil capacity
The engine oil capacity for the 1998 Honda VTR 1000 Firestorm depends on the specific situation:
After draining: If you're changing the oil and filter, it requires approximately 3.9 liters (4.1 US quarts or 3.4 Imperial quarts) of oil.
After disassembly: If you're performing a more extensive service, the capacity increases to approximately 4.5 liters (4.8 US quarts or 4.0 Imperial quarts).
Make sure to use SAE 10W-30 motorcycle oil that meets the JASO MA or API SG standards. The Pro Honda GN4 10W-30 is a suitable choice for engine oil. Additionally, replace the oil filter with a HifloFiltro HF204RC filter and use an NGK DPR9EVX-9 spark plug.

1998 Honda F6 C Valkyrie no spark
Hello!
If your 1998 Honda F6 C Valkyrie is experiencing a no-spark issue despite having new plugs installed, there are several potential causes to consider:
- Faulty Ignition Coil: The ignition coil is responsible for generating the spark needed to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the engine cylinders. A faulty ignition coil could result in no spark at the plugs. You may want to test the ignition coil for proper functioning or consider replacing it if necessary.
- Faulty Ignition Switch: A malfunctioning ignition switch can disrupt the flow of electricity to the ignition system, resulting in a lack of spark at the plugs. Check the ignition switch for any signs of damage or wear and consider replacing it if needed.
- Faulty Ignition Control Module (ICM): The ignition control module controls the timing of the spark and ensures that it occurs at the right moment. If the ICM is faulty, it may prevent the ignition system from producing spark. Testing the ICM or consulting a professional mechanic may be necessary to diagnose and address this issue.
- Electrical Wiring Issues: Inspect the electrical wiring connecting the ignition system components for any signs of damage, corrosion, or loose connections. Faulty wiring can disrupt the flow of electricity and lead to a lack of spark.
- Battery Voltage: Ensure that the battery voltage is sufficient to power the ignition system. A weak or discharged battery may not provide enough power to generate spark, especially after being stored over the winter months. Consider charging or replacing the battery if necessary.
- Kill Switch or Safety Interlock: Check the kill switch and any safety interlock mechanisms to ensure that they are not inadvertently preventing the ignition system from functioning properly.
- Fuel Delivery Issues: While not directly related to the spark issue, it's worth ensuring that the engine is receiving an adequate supply of fuel. Check the fuel system components such as the fuel pump, fuel filter, and carburetors (if equipped) for any issues that may be affecting fuel delivery.
If troubleshooting these potential causes does not resolve the no-spark issue, consulting a professional motorcycle mechanic or an authorized Honda service center may be necessary to diagnose and repair the problem effectively.
Hope this helps!
Kindly,
Jordan
