Most certainly the starter motor. Either brushes or bushes. Suggest you remove the starter and have it overhauled. The fact that you can jump start it with no problem show it is only in the starting up, hence the starter motor.

SOURCE: engine cuts out

It sounds like something is preventing the bike from getting fuel. Check fuel filter, fuel tank vent, air filter too. If you have vacuum building up in the tank, letting the bike sit for a few minutes slowly releases that vacuum allowing the pump to pull fuel easily again for a bit. Next time the bike quits open your fuel tank. If you hear a whoosh of air being sucked in look for a plugged vent line. A plugged air filter can have a similar effect but the only way to check that is change the air filter or look at the one you have. It would have to be really, really dirty or plugged with some debris to cause this problem.

SOURCE: i was riding my bike died oil light came on i put

Oil light does not mean that you don't have oil inside.It means that there is NO pressure in the oil circuit.You should check your oil pump and hope it did not ruin your engine from lack of oil underneath the pistons.Measure the compression too.

SOURCE: suzuki 1400 intruder wont start.. just clicking noise.

It's most likely the connection to the battery. The screws dont tighten in well and you get the famous clicking....I replaced the stock philips screws with a hex bolt and after two years of trying to solve the problen have been starting everytime for the past year no problems. Another gie away is the intermitant starting problem gets worse when wet.

My battery on my 94 Honda cbr 600 f2 wont hold a charge I jump it and it will run for a short while then die

With a voltmeter check to see if terminals show several volts higher than battery specs when bike is running. If so then replace battery. If not have charging system checked out.

Timing chain for 1994 honda 1100

If the bike was working normal and do not have more then 50-60 Tmiles, then the chains are o.k., this bikes have a automatic chain tensioner, so, you can start to think about change a chains when you are over 50000 miles. Usually, when chains are on limit, you can hear a rattling sound on the top of cylinders.

Backfires usually comes from bad carb sync and if you put custom pipes also to small jets. But first try to sync the carbs.

Here is link to youtube it is for vt600, it is the same for vt1100:

I have a 1986 Honda Shadow VT1100.... The problem with the bike is that it blows 10 amp inition fuses while Im driving down the road. It has done this twice now. I have a new fuel pump. I will also change...

Did the problem with the fuses blowing start just after the new fuel pump was installed? I would guess there is a loose connection or a wire on the frame rail that has been pinched by the tank.
