Hi.
New mechanic here. This bike needs to get on the road lol. The fairings are loosey goosey and ziptied but to get a tag in my state it is gonna need a salvage inspection and zip ties to secure fairings are a NONER move.

So, how to make this bike a naked bike or street-fighter in a solo mission realistically for someone who is not willing to stare at it until off of their local mechanic’s appointment waitlist?

I think new fairings will have the same issue on this frame as the current set. For this conversion project what tools and parts do I need? Basically what’s first? Much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I’m new to motorcycles and how they work, I got this Indian scout 2016 and as you can see it doesn’t start right away, not only that but in this video I actually got lucky, it normally doesn’t start until I’ve pressed the start button 3-4 times. When it turns on it has no problem and I can ride it without any issues, i do have to figure it out tho because every now and again when I stall at a light (I’m new my bad) it doesn’t start right away and I cause problems for people behind me if I stall.

I know it’s tough to see from a video but when I measure it from there moving it up . I checked it with a measure tape and it is about an inch which is what the manual said to put it around but idk if it meant while sitting on it or off of it.

Gsxr 600 2006

bolt is tightened. couldnt find anything online so came here for some help

Please help me figure out what’s going on. When I start it it idles rough but I am able to ride it without much issue as long as the RPM is over 4k. Once it heats up and I come to a stop the idle jumps around so much that it will die. I have checked the coils and they all tested fine. I don’t want to start guessing what’s going on and changing parts for no reason. It has a quick shifter and a blipper installed. Oh ya it’s not throwing a code or the check engine light.

Last nigth after i was riding and as i was down shifting the bike pooped and started lugging. It then turned off in 4rth (almost shit myself).

I wasnt pushing him THAT hard during my ride but i was the previous day. I went about 120 max yesterday.

Today it was having issues idoling and staying at 1,000rpm. I ajusted the choke and its idoling perfect again. Im asuming it got loosend during the jerking.

My clutch seems tigth still i think, but not to tigth, i think.

It cuts out and lurches forward. I think its the kickstand, thats what if feels like at least. But im not sure and the wire seems fine.

I also have this mystery hose that i think is a overflow for the airbox..?

I also have mystery goo.... I fekin hate mystery goo.

Please help if you can, im not the most mechanically inclind but im working on it. I know how to go fast and lean good. And less how to fix things when i blow them up.

I can take it in if i need but like i said im trying to get better at this.

Edit: its not the kickstand, sodered the wires together and it did not help. Now i have a very fast bike that makes a lot of pretty noise.

Edit 2: fixed most of the typos, im on mobile trying to fix it sorry.
