What is the function of this hole? Suzuki GS 750 1976

There is a lot of oil leaking out of that hole while the engine is running. I can’t figure out the problem

2013 Honda CBR250R caliper seal(?) corroding and leaking

Noticed a little pool of liquid under my bike, tracing it back it’s leaking out of this seal which is kind of eaten away on the bottom. Initially thought it was brake fluid but I’m pretty sure it’s oil from looking at the liquid itself, and as brake pressure seems normal. Is it as simple as replacing this seal? And if it is leaking oil, is it likely to deplete the main reservoir in the meantime? Apologies in advance, I am very new to bikes lol.

02’ Suzuki GSX-R750 will not rev past 9-10k

Pretty much the title of the post, will not rev past 9-10k even in neutral, I’m thinking it has something to do with the fuel supply. Any thoughts?

2010 Sym Fiddle 2 - Top Speed

This scooter has both Sym/Lance parts so I am trying to find out the best roller weight for maximum speed. I have tried the high end of 13 grams and the low end of 5.5. I am still not getting the performance I want. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Honda CBR250R ABS 2013 Broken Wiring HELP

Looking for some help.

I've had my bike sitting undercover for 2 months and as I was cleaning it today I found this broken wiring coming from under the left side of the heads up display.

Its a nylon sleeve with green, yellow, red, and blue wires.

Unsure if these have been cut or were from a rat or something. Never seen this before.

Bike still runs, no issues with the display from what I can see. Trying to figure out what it is and how to fix it.

05 ninja 250 water in engine

Working on getting this ninja running and I noticed the oil looked murky. When I drained it it was clearly mixed with water. What causes this? Blown head gasket?

Quick question, 2015 Honda CRF 150RB

I have a huge gash in my header on my exhaust pipe, and my bike also really struggles to idle at all. Would the gash play a part in that?

2007 Suzuki GSXR 600

I'm having an issue with my K7 GSXR 600 at high RPM under load. It falls flat on its face, but will continue to pull randomly. It runs great and also revs all the way up when not under load. We replaced the coils, plugs, and fuel assembly, but not the fuel pump. We tested to see if it was a fuel pump issue by swapping a tanks with another bike that has a brand new fuel pump and it had the same issues. (Video shows pull with tank that had brand new pump). Currently waiting to test ride after a TPS reset. I'm fairly mechanically inclined, so I usually work on my own machines, but when I brought the bike in I was expecting a quick fix and was being a bit lazy. Now I have a mystery to solve. Any help would be amazing!

Best way to deal with a gas tank with rust and small holes in it

I have a project 1983 V45 Sabre and the tank is extremely rusted on the inside. Replacement options for the tank are slim and expensive.. Is there a way to remove the rust from the inside so I can sodded the exterior? My issue is that I cant put a solution like Evaporust in the tank without it slowly leaking out. Maybe I am missing an idea.

Slight noise when at the biting point. Only makes the noise sometimes at idle. I think it’s cam chain tensioner. I’d like to know what everyone else thinks.
