Lots of things contribute to fuel consumption including clogged air filter to dirty carbs

Babbitt's shows to have them in stock. They only sell original manufacturer parts. Please rate my answer. Thanks. www.babbittsonline.com

wont git it -too old--------buy a clymer book online or go to library---asian bikes are similar-if its a general issue u cud read any manual

Check all the wiring to the coils and other ignition parts with an ohm meter. Sounds like there is an open somewhere in the system. this is usually the case. Just a matter of finding it with a meter. Hopefully you have a schematic. Good luck.

Is you have taken the forks apart and changed the fork bushes, ie forks are totally dry, you will need about 520ml in each fork leg. When refilling and will the springs removed, add about 550ml per leg, the stroke the forks numerous times to expel any excess air. Then with forks compressed the oil level should be adjusted to 119mm from the top of the fork to the oil, ie the air gap to the oil. The add springs and spacers and reassemble. Red zed.proboards.com

plug wire condition cud be bad-the boots and inside--carbs may need balancing and cud be dirty--gears cud be worn--u need a clymer manual for troublshoot details--no wheelies

You will need either a larger transmission sprocket or a smaller wheel sprocket. The larger percentage change will occur with an increase in the front sprocket number of teeth. The way to mathematically determine that is to consider the present tooth ratio/RPM and relate that to the desired ratio. There are practical limits on how big the front sprocket can get before having interference problems. A 2-tooth increase should come fairly close. It would take about 4 to 6-tooth decrease in the rear sprocket to achieve the same results. Take your pick--the front sprocket should be cheaper and much easier to install. You will need to adjust the chain length accordingly. There will be a minor acceleration decrease due to the change. A fatter rear tire will also increase speed somewhat too. Hope this helps!

Im not sure of the exact wiring , but the side switch doesnt cut the motor in neutral, so it loops through the neutral light.
You said front brake switch has 12 v, this is correct.
There is another switch on the clutch, which also works in conjunction with the side stand.
I would be checking the ignition and kill switches

Put piston top dead center, Both valves shall be closed. The marks should be in close sight.

Try putting cam gear Dot straight Up, Look for removable Plug on crank cover.

its on the left as your sitting on the bike

565 ml each side

Check to see if you have 12 volts going into the coil. make sure the coil has a good ground. If it does not work you could do an ohm check on the spark plug wire to see if it is broken or not. On the spark plug pull back the rubber boot at the wire and un screw the cap. check and make sure cap has good contact into wire. you could trim the wire back a very little bit and screw the cap back on a check again. let me know

Sound like your timings off

Check your oil level, too little is never good but too much oil can cause smoking and is also pretty bad for your bike.

Oil capacity will be stamped on the side of the engine either near the viewing window or the filler hole

sounds like a weak or bad coil

you mean gas? check fill pipe for any obstruction with a wire hanger. my 96 aint to quick either

Hi,,,the first thing to check is your fuses,,i assume your battery is good.
