Default New and have questions?

New members and new/first time motorbike builders. If you have a question about your bike, be it, motor won't start, clutch/chain/sprocket/fuel/ spark plug/ carburetor/ or any other problems, please try using the 'Google Custom Search' feature before posting a question that has probably been asked and answered hundreds of times before. There is a wealth of information about motorized bicycles on this forum from members with lots of experience and it is all available if you will take the time to search for it.
Do not post a question unless you have done a seach for answers using the search feature located at the top of each page. Simply type in a key word such as "Tensioner" and you will be rewarded with all the information you could possibly ask for about chain tensioners and their related problems/solutions and alternatives.
Also please tell us what kind of engine you have. Either 2 stroke or 4 stroke and it helps to know which carburetor.

Please give serious consideration to any answer you might recieve from a question posted here. We have little to no control over the accuracy of the advice given by members and sometimes the advice you get might be posted by someone with less experience than yourself and be incorrect. We can not guarantee the accuracy of every answer you might recieve. We try to reduce this but there are times when answers to your questions can be erroneous and based on lack of experience. We highly suggest you research the subject and read what others have done to successfully eliminate the problem you might be having before taking advice that could be wrong.
Thank you.
Tom
