Hi, I have an 1988 Honda GB400 and the speedo has
Sounds like the speedo cable needs to be lubricated. I'm not familiar with the GB 400 but a flickering or bouncing needle is a cable problem. Take care of lubricating it so. Neglecting it can lead to a broken cable which is a more difficult and expensive job. Good luck.
Starting problems
Check the easy things first like fuel shutoff valve and engine kill switch. It's possible that water got in the tank from condinsation. You might want to drain the tank and put fresh gas in. The methods you mentioned sound like a reasonable way to see if the problem is fuel delivery or spark related.

How to remove a honda xbr 500 fuel tap
The GB has a purely mechanical tap with 3 positions being OFF - ON (main tank) and RES (reserve supply) Because the question asked related to the GB, I'm not sure why someone has added the XBR to the equation. Maybe it has a different tap,. I don't know. What I so know is that it is quite easy to undo the GB tap using a big shifter set at about 26mm. If you have a big openender of this size, that would be even better to use but this is a seriously big size for an oe spanner.Just turn the big nut anti clockwise and the whole tap assembly will come free.from the tank.

Accelerating on the 2nd gear
You do not say which model you have . I think you are dealing with Kei Hin carburetors that have floating vacuum pistons ( not the rubber diaphragm style). In this style piston the aluminum piston floats in the carburetor top up and down about 3/4" or so. It is a once or twice a year tradition with this style carburetor (used on older GL1000, GL1100, and CX500's) to remove the top, pull out the piston, and clean both the inside of the carburetor top and the out side of the piston thoroughly with carburetor cleaner. This is so they do not stick or hang up during normal operation. When the carburetor top sticks on one or more of the cylinders it will cause a flat spot in the acceleration curve like the one you describe.

Honda PC50 moped VIN decoder
To read the serial number on a Honda PC50 moped, follow these steps:
Locate the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number): The VIN is a unique code that provides information about your moped. On a Honda PC50, you can find the VIN in the following places:
Under the Air Filter Cover: Look on the left-hand side, just above the engine. The VIN should be stamped there. It typically looks like this: PC50 - 1234567.
Frame Number: The frame number is another term for the VIN. It's usually located near the air filter body.
Decode the VIN: The VIN contains important details about your moped, including the year of manufacture. Here's how to interpret it:
The 9th digit of the VIN is a check digit.
The 10th digit represents the year code. For example:
A = 1980
B = 1981
C = 1982
D = 1983
E = 1984
F = 1985
G = 1986
H = 1987
J = 1988
K = 1989
L = 1990
M = 1991
N = 1992
P = 1993
R = 1994
S = 1995
T = 1996
V = 1997
W = 1998
X = 1999
1 = 2000
2 = 2001
3 = 2002
Note that if your scooter was manufactured between February 1986 and February 1987, it's likely to be a '87 model;
Additional Resources:
If you have the full VIN, you can use the NHTSA VIN decoder to get detailed information about your moped.
Alternatively, you can call Honda with your VIN, and they will provide you with the necessary information.

Honda 500 TRX fa6 has PS on the dash….what does it mean ?
The Power Steering has failed. There has been a factory recall for a suddenly failing electrical steering shaft, that could cause the rider to loose control. This does not have to be your problem but anyhow either the electronics or the pump failed. Error codes or messages usually have to be erased by a simple reset procedure or disconnecting a plug, after repairs are done.

What to torque the head on my 99 CBR 929 Honda in
For a 1999 Honda CBR929RR, the cylinder head bolt torque specifications are essential to ensure proper engine assembly and function. When tightening the cylinder head bolts, it's crucial to follow the manufacturer's recommended torque settings to prevent damage to the engine components.
For the CBR929RR, the cylinder head bolt torque specifications are typically as follows:
1. **Initial Torque:** 29 Nm (2.9 kgf-m, 22 ft-lbs)
2. **Final Torque:** 64 Nm (6.4 kgf-m, 47 ft-lbs)
It's essential to tighten the cylinder head bolts in the specified sequence and in multiple stages, gradually increasing the torque until reaching the final specified torque. The exact tightening sequence can usually be found in the service manual specific to your motorcycle model.
When torquing the head bolts, ensure you're using a reliable torque wrench calibrated in the appropriate units (Nm or ft-lbs). Always follow the tightening sequence precisely to ensure even pressure distribution across the cylinder head gasket.
Additionally, it's advisable to use new cylinder head bolts if the old ones have been previously tightened or stretched beyond their yield point. This helps maintain proper clamping force and ensures the integrity of the engine assembly.
As always, referring to the service manual or consulting a professional mechanic experienced with motorcycle engine assembly can provide additional guidance and ensure the correct torque settings are applied during the cylinder head installation process.

2006 Honda Shadow Arrow 750 VT missing on the rear cylinder fire
. One possibility is that the spark plug or plug wire is faulty 1. Another possibility is that the carburetor needs cleaning and adjustment It could also be due to a valve adjustment issue or a bent rod.
I would recommend taking your motorcycle to a professional mechanic who can diagnose and fix the issue. If you prefer to troubleshoot it yourself, you can start by checking the spark plug and plug wire for any damage or wear and cleaning the carburetor. However, please note that working on a motorcycle engine can be dangerous and requires specialized knowledge and tools. Please take all necessary safety precautions and follow the manufacturer's instructions when working on your motorcycle.
