If it is the T style battery its behind the left panel under the seat and there are two ten millimeter bolts and the panel swings out.

rejetting your carbs is the key to matching exhaust you should follow the exhaust mfr instructions for jet sizes and consider having a pro do the carb work as jetting involves quite a bit of precison... mfr test their exhaust systems on dynos - their information can usually be trusted if they are a upper tier mfr..

Could be the timing chain tensioner being stuck or something loose. How does it accelerate?

GO TO DEALER ASK FOR THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AN THEY WILL GIVE YOU A DI GRAM FREE/

Sounds like bad wiring. Best bet is to get a repair manual for the bike. Check the wiring at the ignition, the kill switch and inside the headlight bucket. Sounds like either loose or broken wire.

try wheel bearins or head stock bearings and ensure tyre is at correct psi

was the wheel balanced properly?

check for a wire disconection, there will be a fault somewhere in your electrics, or check your coil if your bike doesnt start at all and your htc lead for your spark plug.

What is the make and model?

oil should be replaced every 2 years or so as it degrades...also the oil that manufacturers use is very poor quality...

Drain your fuel and put new highest octane available fuel in along with new tune up and oil change because if you`ve been riding it like this you have a crankcase full of gasoline.

with a voltmeter plugged on the batt. at idle you should have around 13.4 and 15.5 at 5500 rpm if not unplug the neg. pole of the batt. and the plug on the voltage regulator you will see 3 yellow wires with a ohm meter all 3 wires should have the resistance about 5 ohms that will validate the stator if it is good try a voltage regulator hope this will help you

Look for a fuse panel, probably under the seat near the battery. Fuses can also be inline on the positive wire.

Sounds like the clutch can't take the heat any longer. It is the springs that are bad, but might as well replace the friction disks as well, because new ones will be thicker and cause more pressure.

To test stator you need to disconnect the stator junction and test all pairs of wires coming from the stator (usually 3 pairs) I can't give you exact ranges for honda (you will need service manual or ring your dealer to get the expected range readings for each pair)
what I can tell you is when you test the stator it will be either in spec or miles out so spotting faults with stator is very obvious
I deal with mainly MX Yamaha and the expected range on these stator would be 280 - 340 out put pair - 700 - 1050 on second pair and 40 - 70 on the third pair of wires
and to give example of how obvious a fault will show on my last stator check I got 290 for the out put which was great but I got virtually zero on the other two pairs of wires so pretty simple solution required (throw stator in bin buy new one!)
you seem to know about testing these but just in case your testing resistance not volts so set to OHMS (upside down horse shoe) any meter will give you enough info I use the auto ranging it keeps it all simple
cheers mate good luck regards Jamie
