Solutions for all your motorcycle problems
From the feel of the wind in your hair, to the roar of the engine, to the taste of the bugs in your teeth, there’s so much to love about a motorcycle. But when a bike goes from bad-ass to just bad, it becomes more of a nightmare. Even common motorcycle mechanical errors like faulty spark plugs, alternator failures, or a worn clutch can sometimes leave you scratching your head.
When you're having trouble with your motorcycle, an Expert on JustAnswer can save you an expensive trip to the mechanic by explaining motorcycle repairs that you can handle on your own, or giving you an in-depth understanding of your problem if you do have to take your bike in.
You can even ask follow-up questions, and approve payment only when you’re completely satisfied.

How to get motorcycle repair advice online
The qualified Experts on JustAnswer regularly respond to motorcycle questions like:
- If I go over 34mph on my 2004 TRX350 FE, it starts blinking a 5 Error code and I have to shut the motorcycle off. Do you think all I have to do is clear the code?
- I am putting a tachometer on my 2000 Fatboy, and I can’t work out which wire is positive and negative on coil. Can you help?
- How do I check the clutch plates on a 2008 Ural?
- I just warmed up my Can Am for the first time this winter and it heated up extremely high, why?
- I am buying a ‘98 Suzuki Intruder 800 that hasn't been ridden in over a year. What can I do to get it started just to make sure it runs?
To give you the best advice, the motorcycle Expert will need some information. You should be ready to answer questions such as:
- Have any trouble codes been triggered?
- What is the model of your motorcycle?
- Are you fixing your bike yourself?
- What have you tried so far?
With this information, you'll be ready to have a constructive session with the Expert.
