What would cause a dirt bike too lock up?But roll freely in nuetral!?

The piston has "siezed" meaning it will have to be rebored and new piston and rings installed. CAUSES:\n\n1. old gas. always run fresh gas.\n\n2. overheating engine. never run on flat tire or tow another atv.\n\n3. wrong jet in carb. better to have a rich mixture than lean\n\n3. sustained high rpm running. (racing)

I believe you just have to take slack out of governer spring.I think on those as you pull the throttle it has a certain tension then the sping just streches. Elimenate the spring strech with a plastic tie strap.\nBill

If the gears are shifting by themselves, and the chain is slipping, it is because the transmission that controls the chain below the main sprocket on the back wheel is letting them.\n\nOne thing I would check is the cable running from the shifter to the transmission. If the screw/bolt holding the cable has come loose, the spring on the transmission will pull the chain to the most relaxed position it can, i.e. a different gear or off the sprockets altogether.\n\nAnother thing to look for, is that the rear axle, when mounted to the frame, can be further back or closer to the pedals. If you truly ride it hard, it make have moved forward closer to the pedals, causeing the chain to loosen. I doubt this is the case, as the transmission is supposed to keep the chain in tension. It is still worth checking, though.

Well it dosn't seem like that big of a deal. So just let it go till the next time you take the RV in for service or inspection have them take a look at it. It may just be a loose  wire since the switch still retracts it.

Try asking in the recumbent section of Bike Forums on the link below, users of this type of bike may be able to help you:\n\nhttp://www.bikeforums.net/\n\nGood Luck

A lot depends on what kind of shimmy it is, there could be a few causes. First thing that comes to mind is something wrong with the tire. Check tire pressure of both front and back tires. They should be equal. Also have the balance checked. It's new enough to still be under warranty. If it's bothersome return to where you bought it and have them check it out. Better to be safe than sorry on a bike. Good luck!

i thought i read somewhere that AA could fly something like a bike for $40. sounds cheap so it might be wrong. i was trying to fly my bike to Mexico for vacation.\n\ndid you take the bike apart? you can pack it tighter if you remove the front wheel, pedals, and handlebars. use lots of bubble wrap to protect your investment.

I would say there is a loose connection to your monitir. Go to a repair shop tomake sure and get a professional job. If it is relatively new you may be able to claim a warrenty job.

I have a bad habit of breaking bolts.  I overtightened a bolt on my motorcycle's clutch basket and broke it.  I really didn't want to deal with extracting a steel bolt from an aluminum basket, so I just left it sitting for awhile.  One night I had a dream that I went out and poked at the bolt and it just screwed right out.  It wasn't frozen at all.  The next day I went out and checked, and, sure enough, I was able to use my fingers to unscrew the bolt.  I thought that was pretty cool.

do it on a track, then it's up to the riders. Xr100's are known for not having much power, infact thats why they are so reliable. They dont produce enough power to break themselves

OK, there are a couple of reasons that your bike might be creaking, some worse than others:\n\n1) If the bike makes the noise only as you are pushing down on the pedals, chances are the crank arms are loose. These need to be tightened to a specific torque so I recommend a bike shop visit;\n\n2) If the bike creaks when you are seated, it may be because the saddle or seatpost is loose. Make sure the saddle is tight on the seatpost, then REMOVE the post from the frame, coat the inside of the seat tube (the frame tube where the seat post fits), then reinstall the seat post. If you overtighten the seatpost in the frame you may damage the frame, so be careful;\n\n3) If the bike creaks when you put a lot of stress on the handlebars, slide the bars out from the stem and lubricate between bar and stem as with the seatpost. If you have a standard quill stem, also remove the stem from the fork and lubricate with grease inside the fork tube (steerer). Should you have a threadless steerer I recommend that you, again, take it to a bike shop just to be sure everything is cool; \n\n4) If your frame is aluminum, it is beginning to fail. Unlike steel, aluminum will eventually fail just from regular riding. Occasionally this failure is pretty spectacular and is called "Sudden Catastrophic Failure". If you have a high end bike (perhaps $1500 or more) and the frame is aluminum, sometimes they creak from the day they are new.

uh its hard to explain depending on the bike race bike or a trail bike? ive got a four stroke an XR450/get the speed that feels comforable to you in 2nd or 3rd gear rev it slightly/shift/pop the clutch/and lean back/while ridin it you'll have to keep ur balance and keep the throttle right, when ur ridin it its all in ur right hand w/ the gas thats the part thats hard to explain>>>

give it a good cleaning, especially in the gas piston area and other parts associated with cycling.  use a good oil like Remoil, CLP or Triflow.  stay away from WD-40.  also, try a higher dram shell.  those cheap promo loads don't have alot of powder, and they burn dirty.

stall??? You mean lock up or crash or semophor locking, stack dump or another of the hideous issues...there are MANY THINGS TO DO...I will post separetely

Spend good money on the lock. I recommend a top-spec' Abus link lock - it will be heavy, but its genuinely tough. If you're really determined to keep your bike, go for a motorcycle specification Abus. Its bigger, stronger and heavier, but it will go round your frame, a wheel and that lampost you need to connect the bike to too.\n\nIf you don't want the weight, try a Kryptonite shackle lock (e.g the New York lock). Not as good as the Abus, but good.\n\nRemove the current quick release skewers on your wheels and the saddle quick release lever and replace all with security-keyed skewers. These have a unique key that you have to carry with you - very effective.

It could be your choice of drivers. Try switching them and see if this helps. You can also go to a local short track. There are some really nice ones in Minnesota.
