cus he wanted to

My Honda cm450e won't start after running fine for months. Petcock is set to on, killswitch is on, plenty of gas in the tank, pulled the choke all the way out. The big bitch won't start no matter what I do. I checked the plugs and they seem fine, cleaned them up a little bit and slapped them back in there. Battery seems fine since all of my lights are working perfectly. Sounds exactly like it does when I try to start it with the killswitch set to off.

Anyone have any advice? I really don't want to have to take it to a mechanic.

>>15008514
Pulled out just the right plug and tested it and got no spark whatsoever. I also got a stupid amount of probably toxic fumes in my face. What does this mean?

>>15008602
it means your ignition is faulty. so either your switch is on, or your CDI box is faulty.

also those fumes are gas so you know your fueling is ok.

watch this, make sure you were doing this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUOmsGiirTU

>>15008602
did you ground it to the engine?

and don't listen to the other guy, your shit is probably just flooded kek. spin it over with the plug out and then try again

>>15008607
Yeah, I watched this one. Killswitch is off, so I guess that means it's the CDI box? Am I going to pay a fucking fortune to get this thing fixed?

>>15008618
this is also accurate

>>15008625

>>15008630

>>15008618
Yeah, it's grounded to the engine. Tried holding it up against the bitch and didn't get anything. At one point I think I saw it spark, but way further down on the plug, like not even near the gap at all.

>>15008633
try cleaning the plugs and recheck spark, you cna do the noob test and hold the plug, if it zaps you, you know you have spark, just not in the right place

>>15008682
see how black the top of the plugs are? that's all carbon. that's why you were only getting spark from the middle of the plug.

>>15008682
You're gonna want to lean out your carbs a bit

>>15008678
So should I just use less choke? I usually pull it about 3/4 of the way out when I start up the bike otherwise it kind of fizzles out. Then I'll close it entirely about a minute into my ride.

>>15008676
Yeah, I did that and didn't get any spark at all.

>>15008690
it's not surprising those plugs aren't sparking.

>>15008713
>>15008704
>>15008688
Will everything be alright if I leave the plugs out over night and the holes they go in exposed or should I close them up?

>>15008726
Just wad up a piece of paper towel and stuff it in the holes

Or just thread them in a couple threads

>>15008726
you should close them up, but you can just stuff some paper towel in the hole.

>>15008726
plugs are fine, stuff the holes with a paper towel just in case. you might want to jump the bike next time you start up, since you may have drained the battery doing the dead cranks. even though your lights are on, the battery can be too low to charge the solenoid, run the starter, and spark.

>>15008713
It's fucking EZ m8. To lean them out all you'll need is a drill, a wood screw, and some pliers.

There should be a little round circle of metal with a hole in the middle where this screw is on your carbs. Just drill into it a bit, screw the screw into it, then use the pliers to pull it out and turn the flathead screw in between 1/2 and 1 turn. Do the same for the other one and bam, carbs leaned out.

>>15008779
>Don't listen to this
u wot m8? That's literally how you do it.

>>15008713
as for leaning the carbs, this usually entails going to a smaller jet and making the needle thinner i think. your carbs just dont go rich over time. if the problem is persistent, it might help to run a hotter grade plug instead in the meantime, since that's a cheap option.

>>15008773
you're talking about bypassing the EPA plug and setting the idle mix. like, yeah, it'll help at idle, but not at all during midrange and wide open throttle.

>>15008759
whens the last time you cleaned your airfilter and verified the choke turns on and off correctly?
both can cause a bike to richen up and foul plugs if left unchecked.

>>15008793
Unless his carbs somehow rejetted themselves to go way more rich than they should it's probably just a thrown out idle A/F mixture. A lot of 80s bikes had really fucking idle mixtures anyway.

Fuck, my GS300 needed about 4 full turns out on the idle A/F screw to avoid flooding out on days colder than 80 degrees.

>>15008826
your air filter is under the seat. if you have gone 9 months without touching it you probably need a new one pham. it could be pretty clogged and dirty, causing not enough air for combustion causing it to run rich.

Personally id say dedicated off road is the only way to go, riding off road is more fun and if you get a drz for both you will just end up regretting not getting a lighter/more powerful dirt bike in a few months.

In saying that, its a drz, you wouldnt lose any money on it if you decided you want something else in a few months time.

Idk.
recommending dirt bikes is honestly tarded, only you know what you want.

Serious question.
Are Harleys for some reason unable to maintain idle? Is the average Harley rider unaware of the existence of an idle screw? Is there some excuse for Harley riders to act like cunts at red lights?

>>15009605
They bought a bike that's more than twice as expensive as a Honda/Suzuki/Kawasaki/Yamaha cruiser with similar performance and features, and have a third of the reliability.

What do you think?

>>15009605
Some Harley riders are just assholes who like to rev their loud bikes at stoplights so everyone looks at them, it probably gives them some sort of self-importance in their otherwise miserable and meaningless lives.

No, HD can't idle. The idle screw vibrates out of the bike when they leave the dealer.

Just felt like sharing, my roommate just got his first bike (81 CB 750F Super Sport) so now once we both get enough practice we can go ride. I haven't had my bike 2 weeks yet

>>15009595
ok, does the low light setting automatically adjust the fps as it records or does it it choose the framerate when it is first turned on?

Some times I start riding with the sun up and it gets dark halfway through my commute,

>>15009620
I'm awake

>>15009625
You set the fps, it's a different setting.

>>15009628
oh ok, I was under the impression it set the fps and iso itself.

Speed Triple or MT09.
Choose wisely.

Okay, I'm looking for a new bike and these are the requirements:

>between 400cc and 660cc
>Capable of highway riding and commuting
>about AUS$5,000
DRZs have a maintenance schedule I can afford but can't do the sort of dirt riding I want to do very well.
WR450s and whatnot can do the tight single track stuff I want to do but have stupid maintenance schedules that I can't afford.
Currently riding a DR650 and it's fucking shit for dirt riding. However I need the maintenance schedule to be maintained.

FXRs are too old
Oh, also it needs to have a 1450 engine, because i can't get insured on anything above.

XL883 and XL1200 are too small a tank and just generally too small.

So FXDX or FXDXT are the only options really.

There's too many people trying to join. From the 2008 recession, the military was a stable job so there was that.
Vidya has served as great advertisements for the military.
The Navy recruit kids, tell them they will be a Navy SEAL, train them through BUD/S but then deploy them as cooks and janitors.

All that free advertisement overloads dwindling budgets and whatnot.

But whatever, i found a decent job otherwise and I'm not too bothered.

Mad respect for teachers dude. But yeah I live life with no tie downs. Don't have credit cards. No loans. No debts. No relationships. I just do what I want when I want and where I want. Military has been a dream since I was a kid so it feels right.

>>15010042
>fuck if I know how to change my shit to becoming a teacher.
>Maybe a TEFL.
TEFL usually requires England English, not American. Dunno which part of the world you're in but this also has the disadvantage of not giving you skills.

For example if you did TEFL for x years and wanted to do something else, that doesn't really hold a lot of water on a resume. Or so i've heard.

Alright boys. I'll tell you how I did it. I built capital and bought into gold and silver. If I remember correctly it peaked in value in 2012 and let's just say I'm very well off now.

But here is what all trading comes down to. Supply and demand. For example: A large earthquake happens causing a boom in the construction industry due to reconstruction and repairs. So you invest in these companies and their value will grow. Then sell your shares for a profit.

And quick tip. Buy low. Sell high.

>>15010096

>>15010101
Don't beat yourself up. My current investment in gold has caused my to lose money in terms of asset value so instead of panicking and selling it I'm just holding onto it until it booms again. Whether that boom comes tomorrow or 20 years time.

You're kind of gettingt right. You just need to research what you want to invest in. Wait for a moment to jump on it. And then don't be greedy because you'll hold onto it as it climbs and climbs. And suddenly it will have dropped to below what you sold it for and you'll still be holding onto it.

Idk about how I would go about learning it again. When I started I googled gold price. Saw it was low. Googled a minting company and bought 300k worth of it and sold it for around 700k.
Comparing that to the chance of making $500 while cam whoring. I'd just say start reading up on it. Books about the economy is a good place to start.

i beg to differ

Yeah, i get it i was only kidding about the camwhoring thing.

Thanks for your words of encouragment. I'm a very impatient person adn I worry when things dont happen quick.

Do you have sleepless nights because you are worried that you are missing out on some amazing deal that is happening right now? How do you keep chilled out with it?

Also. What do you do as a job, if any.

I have had sleepless nights stressing about if I'm going to lose my life savings and inheritance but all is good now.

I'm a steel worker but as of 5 hours from now I'm quitting my job. Hate it so going into the army probably early next year.

Hey /dbt/, I need advice.

I want to get rid of the bike. I was directed to a guy who sometimes buys bikes and he's potentially interested, but he doesn't like putting numbers on things and I don't know about pricing motorcycles.
I've been told a new Virago can still go three grand brand new, but this thing isn't going at the moment. What price should I give him?
