How can I tell if my motorcycle is having electrical problems?
Connect your multimeter leads to the connector and check for resistance by setting your meter to Ohms. Compare your readings with your shop manual’s specifications to see if they are within range. You can also check the gap between the coil and the magnet. Make sure that it is gapped to the manual’s specs.
When to know if your motorcycle battery is operable?
If the battery drops below 10.8 volts, it is possible that the battery is no longer operable. Significant engine trouble can also cause the voltage to drop too far if it is making it difficult for the starter to turn the engine over. A good way to tell if this is happening is to check the battery cables for excessive heat.
How can I tell if my motorcycle is running at 2000 rpm?
This should be an open circuit and the meter should not read anything. If it does, the stator is faulty. Now, switch your multimeter to read AC voltage. To check for voltage, the motorcycle must be running and should be at about 2000 rpm. Then, measure the voltage from tab to tab, just like before.

Why does it take so long to change bike tubes?
Except when in a rush (e.g. a mountain bike race), it takes this much time to change a tube. Tubes deteriorate more quickly and are more likely not to work when needed than a patch. For example, improperly folded tubes often crack where folded or at the base of the stem.

Is it worth patching a tube on a bike?
Although some may disagree, it’s generally not worth patching a tube unless you don’t have a spare tube handy. However, patch kits are so small and light that there’s no reason not to carry one unless you’re counting grams. It’ll come in handy the day you carry a spare tube and have two flats.
