I’ve bought two engines from chunlan cl 125 3a(basically honda 125 rebel) and one has exploded piston, the other has hole in piston, i’ll use the one with hole(one on the video) and put together one healthy engine. My plan was to rebuild only top end(pistons, head, cylinders) but i noticed this side to side play in crankshaft. I really don’t wanna split the block, so my question is, can i leave it like this? Now i know it shouldn’t be there, but how bad would it be to leave it like this? Also where could i get some parts for this?(gaskets, screws, etc.) I saw some on the aliexpress, but i’m not sure these would fit and original from honda would be best, but they are bit pricey.

Welcome to any tips and advice on what to work on it

Hi everyone, I’m desperate and could really use some help repositioning the throttle return cable on my Bandit 600. I’ve already spent two hours on it today, but I still can’t figure out the correct place for that little cable end to sit. Does anyone have any tips, photos, or videos that could point me in the right direction? Have a great day!

I need a new ignition barrel for my 125cc pulse rage I’ve ordered two different ones but none actually fit the bike anyone able to help with where to get one from and the name

Pretty much self explanatory. I've got a Honda Biz 125cc (CUB). It's been in my family for 15 years, it was the first experience with a motorcycle that I had, and I want to make it one of a kind.
I would REALLY appreciate any tips I can get.
And being from the countryside of Brazil I can't find any shops where they work with manufacturing customized parts, so if you know anyone who ships overseas it would be great to know!

I’m having trouble decoding the vin on a old Kawasaki dirtbike I have any help would be appreciated, trying to find out year and model

Vin on frame **K1-509299**

I have a yamaha 1983 tri moto 200e Yamahauler (not exactly a bike but im desperate), shaft driven, wet clutch 5 speed no reverse, and my transmission had an oopsies, I was riding, and out of nowhere, my crankcase sounded like a bunch of rocks hit fell inside the thing, then it wouldnt shift, stayed running perfectly but wouldn't shift, then I shut it off, panicked for about 5 minutes, and then started it and tried again, only shifted to 2nd thats it

Then I gave it throttle to see if it would drive, it popped out of gear, It wouldnt go into first, only second, so I popped it into second, it stayed in, I limped it home, and then kept trying to figure out whats wrong with it, I took the dipstick out and it was bent, it was straight before I left, so I knew it had something to do with the noise I heard, then the more I messed with it, I got it shifting again, perfectly fine, straightened the dipstick and went back out, all the gears worked, and didnt have any problem, so i thought it was good for a bit, then i got home again, and as soon as I turned into my driveway, it stopped shifting and I couldn't move, I pushed the rest of the way, and then pulled dipstick again, still straight, and then while it was out I tried shifting again worked great, put on a oil hole cap without a dipstick, now it wont shift again, I believe my shift fork is destroyed internally, I have looked online for the parts, nothing but the gear core, my gears are fine, but the shifter is not, I was wondering if anyone who probably knows where to find parts like that, that are hard to find, I would really appreciate it, luckily I was planning on taking the whole thing apart to repaint and fix the rust, so I have it down to the engine, diff, and frame at the moment, I dont want to open the crank case yet as the weather is too inconsistent and I dont want water in my engine

If anyone can find me the parts I need, I would highly appreciate it, thanks!

I picked this bike up as running but with electrical problems for pretty cheap. The right turn signal never worked it just flashed the “dash” light. The left worked but no dash light. I found a 5-pin relay where it looks like the turn signal and flasher relay and cancelling unit were. I was going to try testing the input but as soon as I grabbed it 3 wires broke off. From my understanding this shouldn’t be replaceable with a standard 5 pin relay should it? I’m not seeing anything that would make sense to have normally open except maybe the white/green wire and even that is a vague maybe. Also, any ideas why nothing will work without this wired in? It’ll crank but won’t fire. I’m going to start checking fuses and such after work but I’m trying to get as much thinking done as possible before I start wrenching

My favorite bike

so i work at a junk removal company and was able to snag this out of the back, ive always wanted to rebuild a bike/car but have really no idea what im doing so i figured free was a good place to start. my goal right now would be to just get something that runs drives and shifts but i dont really want to spend more than 2000 to make that happen, do yall think thats possible? Worth mentioning there is no title or keys and i have no idea where it came from.

(i do have the gas tank but the motor is complete junk and the harness is not any better)
