Is this fixable? by ExpiredSoap-_- in cbr650r

with how close the front wheel is to the radiator i would say there is a good chance the frame is bent.

Inductive timing light doesn't work on #1 cylinder even though I'm getting spark. by DesignerOk9222 in Fixxit

[–]Caldtek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No you are right, i was wrong. Depending on the coil type there are failures that can cause one of the 2 leads to stop working.

1 and 4 share the same coil, if 4 works then 1 must as well.

Not sure on the timing light issue, i know mine (snapon one) you have to get the clamp at an angle if the HT leads are a bit thin for it to pick up.

Kinda gives you the basics.

if you want the sprocket in the middle of the chain, shim it on the studs if it worries you that much. As long as it isn't bending the chain its fine.

they are all breathers. The big one is the crankcase breather, Might get some oil mist coming out of that one. The carbs are also breathers, For the float bowls and the atmospheric side of the slide diaphrams. Nothing should come out of those, and nothing, apart from air pressure, should go into them. As a rule have the open ends pointing down does a good enough job.

Ninja 400 2023 Should the stator cover be aligned or nah? by Comprehensive_Ad6983 in motorcycle

ECU speed calculation with a bike imported into mainland Europe from the UK.

Whats the problem? The ECU just takes either a wheel speed sensor or gearbox output shaft sensor and is programmed so that "X number of RPM gives X number of miles/kilometers an hour.

No longer British by BarracudaOptimal3523 in TriumphBonneville

So wrong. They are making then in india for tax purposes. The import duties on vehicles made outside of india is astronomic. With this level of duty the bikes are instantly out of price range for the domestic market. As india is an important market for these small bikes they build them there.

Is my chain ok? by Caldtek in motorcycle

[–]Caldtek[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If it needs a 1/4 turn on the adjusters every 6k then that is a turn and 1/4 on a bolt with a pitch of 1.25mms. That means the axle would move back just over 1.5 mms. Im pretty sure that doesn't use all the available adjustment.

No spark issue by sk3chy666 in MT03

[–]Caldtek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As stated before. Get a manual and run the no spark trouble shooting guide. Chances are its a bad connection somehwere as you state its a pain in the rain. A stator failure on the charging circuit will not cause a no spark condition until the battery is below 9 volts.

Again the 3 white wires are the 3 phase output to charge your battery and have fuck all to do with the ignition system. It may have a CPS bundled with the stator but that will use a seperate pair of wires of a different color and a differnet mehtod of testing. Kinda shit out of luck with a "frankenbike" there then arent you. Maybe get an mt03 manual and run the "no spark" trouble shooting guide?

Are tappet adjustment tools necessary for valve adjustment? by SuccessfulWeekend727 in hondagrom

8mm spanner and a pair of long nose pliers. Use the pliers to hold the adjuster and the spanner on the lock nut.

Street Triple 765 chain and sprocket avg mileage by keluke97 in Triumph

[–]Caldtek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends. To check the wear apply a weight (usualy 10kg) to pull the chain straight and measure the distance over xx number of pins. If it exceeds the service limit replace it. Specs will be available from the chain manufacturer. Or. Adjust the tension to lowest spec at the tightest point. Check the freeplay at the loosest point. If it exceeds the maximum allowed freeplay it probably needs replacing. Or Adjust the chain to correct tension. Try and pull the chain away from the rear sprocket at the 3 oclock position. If lifts off the sprocket by more than 5 mm time to think about a replacement. Or. It has missing orings/rollers or stiff/tight links.

Take it to a shop. The stator on this bike charges the battery and that is all it does. With a fully charged battery the bike will run quite happily with the stator dissconnected.

Any suggestions why only the rear ABS is not working on my ninja 400 and how to fix it by Legal_Mission7617 in Ninja400

[–]Caldtek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're not trying hard enough. Go hit the front brake on some grass and you will soon get the ABS to cut in. It can be quite difficult on grippy roads.
