Default I've had the worst luck lately

First my bike gets stolen I track it down and get it back they dropped it, bent my bars, put a small dent on the right side of my gas tank and stole my air cleaner. After working on getting all this fixed I use my little motorcycle jack to jack my bike up and put A new rear tire on my bike. It felt super stable. I get home the next morning to find my trash torn up everywhere and my on its left side with a giant oil puddle under it. I pick it up and it seems to be out of the transmission overflow tube it didn't mess anything up cosmetically except a small scratch on the bottom of my primary cover. But now it runs like **** and sputters and pops on decel bad I have a 02 dyna with a screaming eagle 110ci motor with a super e carb where should I start

With a beer.


Others with more knowledge than I will be along shortly to help you fix it up. Sorry about your headache with it.

Yeah man, have a beer and think of something good that has happened lately. Even the beer can count as good Take me for example, I got laid the other night, I m still in a good mood from that

But yeah the theivery, was it someone you know? usually its someone who knows what you have and where you keep it. If the bike is kept outside, well thats a chance you take. The bike falling off the jack could happen to anyone, beleive me whenever I leave mine on the lift, I always go home from work wondering if it is still there on the lift...

What I want to know is how you tracked down a stolen bike and then got it back.
Did you report it to the police?

No i dont really call the police. I bought a small tracker and hid it on my bike you can pull up its location on your computer or phone or else it wouldve been gone honestly. When i found it luckily i had a couple buddies with me so we got it back no problem. When it got stolen i lost my job as well so im trying to get this thing reliable because i have a couple job offers. I just need this thing 100% first

first things I would check would be the carb/intake for a leak or loose/broken exhaust
could just be something got knocked loose and causing intake or exhaust leaks can make it run like crap

Might post for a shop meet up or something. Maybe you can get a few members to wrench on it with you for a 6-pack and some food.

Sometimes an extra set of eyes/hands can make a huge difference in finding any problems.

I'm guessing bears!
I didn't even notice that part of the post

How long ago was the tip-over?

Is it possible there is oil flooding the top end/combustion chambers? I'm not familiar with how the fluids behave on our engines when they're inverted. It may clear itself up after it drains back and burns off.

Tank vent "plugged" with fuel?

Garbage stirred up in tank or fuel bowl causing blockages?
