Its either a sticky caliper on the rear or its in gear .is it stuck all the time or will it move a few feet and then stop quick ? If its stuck all the time id suggest tapping the caliper face with a soft mallet to loosen the caliper pistons a bit . If its moving a bit then stopping then check its in neutral

diapharm is bad in carb

Maybe the spark plug breaking down under load when warmed up.Try another spark plug, but make sure it is the recommended one

check to see if fuel line is pinched. then check fuel filter.

Normal. When the ignition is first turned on (but before the engine is started), the light is running just off the battery, which may not be fully charged. When you engage the starter, this is the biggest power draw there is from the battery, causing the light to dim even more. Once engine is running (if everything is working right), the alternator powers the light, as well as everything else. In fact, if may/may not get brighter as you rev the engine.

the batt may be old or has bad connections--must alwaays read 12.6v--alternator may be worn--the brushes in the rotor--git a repair manual for that bike

AS a general rule, PAPER air filters DO NOT get oil. FOAM air filters DO get oil. Special air filter oil is better than engine oil.

could be as little as a head gasket up to broken piston bent valves broken cam etc. was it over reved

clicks means a starter solenoid has gone bad... wont start is a whole other issue... possibly a CDI issue

No, nor does it have a 02 sensor.

the float needle in you carb mite be sticking open , there is a pipe connected to the bottom of the carb see if its coming out of it ! if not you mite have a fuel pipe perished or the tank corroded !

sounds like you got water in the switch cluster , remove it off the bars and strip and clean then grease indicater switch !P....

Fuel float in carburettor maybe set to high! causing Needle and seat not to close! hence letting fuel flow from Over flow pipe in carburettor. Turn fuel on then off to start engine once engine running turn fuel on again. But best to adjust fuel float height, its just a tiny bend you have to make on a brass tab to stop fuel flow when the float gets to a certain height! in the fuel bowl of the carburetor. Cheers Cheers

this is normally a float problem or needle valve problem

check your voltage make sure it is over 12.5 when engine is running. if voltage is below 12.5 replace your regulator. or It sound like your centrifugal clutch is worn out.

Try spraying a lubricant (WD-40) into the key hole of the ignition switch, as you may have tumblers hanging up. If that doesn't work the switch is worn out and needs to be replaced.

petrol may be overflowing.close the petrol cock and try starter button for few seconds.

either You have a electrical issue, Or You have a blown fuse too replace.

Try start for about 30 seconds. pull the spark plug and check: 1 - is it wet?

Yes = getting fuel (Go to 2)No = Not getting fuel

Carb is probably blocked/dirtyvacuum fuel valve faulty

Check carb has fuel in it. Open the drain screw on the bowl of the carb and see if any fuel is released.If so, the vacuum valve is fine.

2 - Does the plug have spark? It should be a BRIGHT blue spark.3 - replace the plug with a fresh new plug.

The button to reset the service reminder is located behind the front cowling. (I know, I know, it's the dumbest place they could put it.) You have to take off quite a few screws and panels to access the button. Then it is a push and hold procedure.
