2005 Honda XR 650 R Questions & Answers
Very hard to start when cold
Maybe just a good service will help?
Check to see if the choke works properly, (or carb tickler depending on model), unless it is ECU controlled.
Set the plug gaps to 0.9mm or 25thou and make sure they are in good condition.
Check the ignition timing and ****** it slightly maybe.
Make sure the compression is within spec, your local Honda dealer can do that for you if you don't own a compression tester.
Hope that helps.

1996 XR600 Honda - idles
got a 1996 model xr600 firing alright but not running couple of seconds and then stalls out also blown some smoke on start up for couple of sec once clears it throat seem fine
Lost use of 2,3,4 gears
I have no idea what year and model your Honda is. However, normally the problems in a gearbox are tied to bent shift forks. A bent shift fork usually makes the shift lever extremely hard to shift. If your shift lever feels okay but doesn't shift into another gear, my guess would be a stripped dogs on a slider gear or a broken shift index wheel / spring. In any event, the engine will need to be torn down for inspection and repair. Please rate my answer, thanks.

Honda 500 TRX fa6 has PS on the dash….what does it mean ?
The Power Steering has failed. There has been a factory recall for a suddenly failing electrical steering shaft, that could cause the rider to loose control. This does not have to be your problem but anyhow either the electronics or the pump failed. Error codes or messages usually have to be erased by a simple reset procedure or disconnecting a plug, after repairs are done.

What to torque the head on my 99 CBR 929 Honda in
For a 1999 Honda CBR929RR, the cylinder head bolt torque specifications are essential to ensure proper engine assembly and function. When tightening the cylinder head bolts, it's crucial to follow the manufacturer's recommended torque settings to prevent damage to the engine components.
For the CBR929RR, the cylinder head bolt torque specifications are typically as follows:
1. **Initial Torque:** 29 Nm (2.9 kgf-m, 22 ft-lbs)
2. **Final Torque:** 64 Nm (6.4 kgf-m, 47 ft-lbs)
It's essential to tighten the cylinder head bolts in the specified sequence and in multiple stages, gradually increasing the torque until reaching the final specified torque. The exact tightening sequence can usually be found in the service manual specific to your motorcycle model.
When torquing the head bolts, ensure you're using a reliable torque wrench calibrated in the appropriate units (Nm or ft-lbs). Always follow the tightening sequence precisely to ensure even pressure distribution across the cylinder head gasket.
Additionally, it's advisable to use new cylinder head bolts if the old ones have been previously tightened or stretched beyond their yield point. This helps maintain proper clamping force and ensures the integrity of the engine assembly.
As always, referring to the service manual or consulting a professional mechanic experienced with motorcycle engine assembly can provide additional guidance and ensure the correct torque settings are applied during the cylinder head installation process.

2006 Honda Shadow Arrow 750 VT missing on the rear cylinder fire
. One possibility is that the spark plug or plug wire is faulty 1. Another possibility is that the carburetor needs cleaning and adjustment It could also be due to a valve adjustment issue or a bent rod.
I would recommend taking your motorcycle to a professional mechanic who can diagnose and fix the issue. If you prefer to troubleshoot it yourself, you can start by checking the spark plug and plug wire for any damage or wear and cleaning the carburetor. However, please note that working on a motorcycle engine can be dangerous and requires specialized knowledge and tools. Please take all necessary safety precautions and follow the manufacturer's instructions when working on your motorcycle.

The problem might be with the air filter, and if not there are a few other things that could be causing your Shadow engine to bog down on acceleration. This includes a dirty carburetor, carb adjustment issues, or other internal problems like damaged vacuum lines or a cracked manifold
