HONDA FORMAN ES 1999Bike runs well except for an occasional miss at idle . when the bike is warm at idle 2 or 3 time a minute it will miss. Sounds like firing at the wrong time. Get a sound like pinging . sometime s the engine will stop other times recover. The bike can be stated easily after a miss that stops it.

Probably you have some worn parts in the carb.a rebuild kit would likely help.befofore you do that,you might try adjusting the air screw on the carb and check for air leaks where the carb connects to the cylinder head.

SOURCE: Honda CBR 900rr 95 Will not start

Check fuel pump is working(remove seat and tank)Although your bike has carbs,they are fed by a fuel pump(under seat and tank)
if there is no fuel getting pumped when you are cranking over,replace fuel pump relay(cheapest option)If still no joy your fuel pump is u/s.although hondas have a seperate small vacume type hose running off the back of the pump,any pump off a kawasaki zx7/zx9 will do the job(they are all made by the same firm)

Definatly a good tune up would help, but it also sounds as if you may have a bad stator. I would check the voltage at the battery and see if it goes up and down when accelorating.

If they find nothing wrong then the problem is obviously intermittent and can be very hard to find. Check the operation of the ignition switch and all kill switches with a volt ohmmeter. Check the wiring harness. Did a wire come unplugged? Are all wires clean and with solid connections? Any abraded or pinched wires? Is the bike in neutral and the neutral light is lit up? If no neutral light, check the neutral switch and neutral wire connection.

The usual source of intermittent loss of spark is the side stand kill switch. It kills the engine so that you don’t start out with the side stand down. Check for a broken wire at the switch or coupler. Get a service manual and check out the electrical section. Some bikes have a diode controller integrated into the turn signal relay. Try moving the kill switch by hand. If that doesn’t work then wire a jumper around the switch to bypass it. If that doesn’t work, check out the relay.The dealer would / should have load tested the various ignition components. I will assume the ignition system is okay. Check the battery and fuses. Install a new set of stock spark plugs.

SOURCE: 2000 honda 1100 shadow spirit. Rough idle, little power.

Replace the spark plug caps and try again. On Honda's the cap is often part of the wire (a dealer part) NGK makes some inexpensive plug caps about $5 each. They should OHM out to 5000 anything above or below and you need to replace them. This should fix the problem.

2000 yamaha grizzly issues when warm

Check oil level capacity, to ensure in specs. Check spark plugs, ensure its clean and correct plug for your quad.the only other could be is ign coil breaking down when warm. Check fire at plug when this happens. First ensure oil level is correct. Make sure your electric fan is on when bike is warmed up.

Honda TRX420FE ES starts when jumped from external source but dies as soon as either jumper cable is removed. Stopped running abruptly while being ridden.

Sounds like your battery.. it might show 12+ volts but not have any amperage to push the voltage... Have the battery tested at a battery shop..

2001 rancher 350trx atv. Runs good but no take off power. Give all the gas it hardly goes but when it gets up to speed its pretty fast. Why no take off power on 350cc honda

Could be a handful of things; 2 that you could check and let me know what the outcome is will narrow it down -

1. When was the last clutch replacement done on the bike if any? When your clutch starts to go - one of the symptoms is loss of power at take off.

Here's something you can do and I believe the 350 had a basket as well as a centrifugal clutch if you have an adjustment - there should be a nut on a stud on the front cover of the engine. Front Housing is what it's called. You can't miss the stud - it's on the engine cover that faces forward. That's your clutch adjustment. Hold the stud stationary and loosen the nut - should be a 10 or 12mm - once the nut is backed off - loosen the stud - then go counter clockwise slowly until you start to feel resistance - once you feel resistance - go forward about a 1/4 turn.

That's a standard clutch adjustment for multiple makes & models especially the Foreman, etc. I've got a 2000 TRX450 and that's the clutch adjustment*. If this atv has the hondamatic - or no clutch adjustment stud/nut - I'd pull that front cover off and check the tolerance on your centrifugal clutch.

2. - every 6 months or 500 hours they recommend you check and adjust your valves as needed. No one does it and the valves get out of whack. What could possibly be happening - your valves need adjustment - when you start the bike and until it's really warmed up performance will suffer. Once they bike warms up, heat makes everything expand - and if you're on that threshold - you'll run terrible at first/better as the valves warm up. You'll see this play out everytime you get on it and it hasn't been running in 20 hours.

Could be a carb issue as well, your idle and slow jets could be getting clogged up. Or your pilot screw's o-ring is shot and you're drawing too much air at idle/slow speeds and evens out under demand. Once that happens - you'll probably idle okay/nothing great - putting around will be about the same - but when you're on full throttle your carb pulls from a different jet. Each jet has a job - idle jet, slow jet, fast jet, - if you haven't cleaned the inside of that carb out in awhile - now is the time to do it - if nothing else, you'll have a clean carb and you'll have that knocked off your list.

These aren't the only causes by far - there's a flow chart attached/it's from an 04 TRX400 - Same rules apply. I didn't touch on electrical - but if you check on the things above/need any tips going through the flow chart, etc. feel free to shoot me a message. Glad to help if possible.

Check the gear shift position connector and wiring.

I have a honda rancher 420 ES 4x4 with a jumping transmition

Oh Dude, this isn't an easy fix. It sounds like your shift pawls could be bent, it also could be that the shift shaft that the pawls slide on is bent, worst case, there is some transmission gear engagement teeth that are damaged.
