Why is my 1980 Honda CB 900 dying when it gets hot?
hi
not sure if its a old SOHC with the 900 upgrade
or a very early DOHC 900
because 1980-1981 was a change over year when they did away with the SOHC 750 - 900
and brought out the DOHC 750 - 900
the main issue with the okd single overhead cam was the oil ways get blocked up and starve the cam of oil
eventually the came will eat its way into the head normally the the end of the cams
you might need to seek a new head or reconditioned one if you can find one
the DOHC has the same issue just not as much
good luck

Honda Hornet electrical fault
Hi,
you are smart to have checked the fuses. I would just start by replacing each bad light's bulb and determine if the light functions again. If this doesn't work, then you'd need a more detailed look at the wire that connect to each bulb. If the horn shares any wires with the lights, that would probably be a good wire to start testing before moving on.
Thank you.

1998 CBR1100XX Blackbird airscrew settings?
I was taught to screw in the adjustment until it runs rough, then back off until it smooths out then 1/4 more, with multiple carbs a synchronizer is required, fuel injection has none I know of.

85 Honda 250R Bore Size Question?
Bore / stroke
66 x 72mm
72 mm stroke, so the difference in bore diameter is 1.5 mm. 72 x 1.5 = 108 cubic Millimetres. Divide by 10 to make it cubic centimetres and the answer is 10.8. Your new engine will be 256.8 cc.

I have a 2006 Honda CBR1000RR
There are three main reasons why a motorcycle clicks when you try to start it. The first and most common reason is because of a dead battery. The second reason could be due to a bad starter. The third most common but less likely reason the motorcycle is clicking could be due to a seized engine.

Possible causes for a runaway starter motor?
Hi,
The only thing that comes to mind for me is that there is a compatibility mismatch between your alternator and the rest of the car. If the alternator is "overcharging", then that means that is restoring your battery with too much power and the battery compensates by giving off power even when it's not supposed to. Thank you.
