Question edited for a lot more clarity, and spelling of carburetor. Question moved from Garden to model category. The float in the bottom of the carb is likely stuck.

How to change oil in lowrider

New motorcycle engine oil (as per manufacturer's recommendation) Oil filter Wrench or socket set Oil drain pan Funnel Shop rags or towels Prepare the Motorcycle: Ensure the motorcycle is on a level surface and turned off. Allow the engine to cool down if it has been running. Locate Drain Plug and Oil Filter: Identify the oil drain plug underneath the motorcycle engine.

Question edited for clarity and add maker. Question moved to model category. Do it once and do it right. It normally requires special tools that lock the cams together.

Is both wires n the plug the same on voltage regulator

In a voltage regulator plug, the wires may not necessarily carry the same voltage. The voltage regulator is a component in a vehicle's electrical system that controls and regulates the voltage produced by the alternator, ensuring a consistent voltage output to the battery and other electrical components. In the plug of a voltage regulator, there are typically multiple wires, each serving different purposes and carrying different voltages. For instance: 1. **Voltage Input and Output Wires:** These wires might differ in voltage. The input wire connects to the alternator or battery, carrying the higher voltage that needs regulation. The output wire, connected to the electrical system, carries the regulated voltage for the vehicle's operation. 2. **Ground Wire:** This wire is crucial for completing the circuit and ensuring proper functioning of the voltage regulator. It does not typically carry a voltage; instead, it serves as the return path for the electrical current. 3. **Sensing Wire:** In some regulators, there might be a sensing wire that monitors the system voltage. This wire doesn't usually carry a high voltage but rather acts as a feedback mechanism for the regulator to adjust its output. It's important to identify and understand the wiring configuration of the voltage regulator plug, as incorrect connections or wiring can lead to electrical issues or even damage to the vehicle's electrical system. Referencing the vehicle's service manual or wiring diagrams specific to the make and model can provide accurate information about the voltage levels and the purpose of each wire in the voltage regulator plug.

And a fix it seems everything in the cooling system is OK, it is working as it should. Have had the fuel pump relay checked and it is now down to the fuel pump seizing as it gets hot. Not sure how the bike reaching 104 degrees affects a pump in the tank. Anyway going to pull out the pump and find a replacement for it. https://www.google.com/search?q=Honda+transalp+700+cuts+out+when+hot ..
