Make sure the carb is thoroughly cleaned, all jets not just main. The half choke is compensating for the slow circuit jet. Check your air/fuel mixture. Also, check the air and fuel filter. If all checks out fine and you still encounter the problem, could be : bad gas, wrong spark plug heat range, or most likely the diaphragm for the top of the carb.
I need to know how
On the right side of you motor, there will be a sight glass.
You will have to crouch very low, and possibly lay on the ground to see it.
The sight glass is in the right side cover towards the back and at the bottom.
If your oil is in need of changing and has turned dark in color(black). The sight glass isn't so visible when the oil is black.
Thats how you check the oil level with the bike off the kicksatnd and you holding it staight up, while looking at the sight glass.
I have a Honda XR400
I have a 2003 XR 400 that I bought in 2005 nearly new (seller was more of an MX guy than trail guy). Thing was HARD to start no matter the conditions; hot day or cold day, sea level or 7000', dry or wet. Once I tired myself out completely and got it running, it would restart ok, but still always a challenge. After months of gritting it out, I followed the advice of everyone online. I bought a pumper carb. Don't even screw around with getting just the right jets, or all the other stuff you've already done. You bolt on the carburetor that the bike should have shipped with and you'll be one or two kicks from a nice run/idle/ride. I ride literally from sea level to 5000' with zero issues. I ride at 7000' no issues. Seriously, It was the best ~$350 I ever spent.
Where is the oil filter
On the front right corner of the motor is a round cover held on by two bolts (one short ,one long). The oil filter and spring are under the cover. Be sure to only use JASO MA motorcycle oil . 0w-40 Amsoil synthetic oil works great in your model.
Hard clutch-
Half the time the problem is the cable due to lack of lubrication. Try adding liquid graphite (lock Eze) into the cable. Check for kinks along the length of the cable and bad routing of the cable. The other half of the time the problem is very dirty oil in the gearbox. Try an oil change.

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.
