Are these engines able to recharge the battery while riding like a car? I'm just curious if there is some kind charging system built into the magneto. If not, I guess i should be throwing it on the battery tender after every use.

My 440 has been starting great all season until last week. It started turning over slowly. Then the next day nothing. I took the starter off and swapped it with an OEM I had lying around (never tested). That one cranks slow too. Then I swapped in a working Goki and it cranked fine. I took the...

I've been riding a JS440 and JS550 for a few months now. I've gotten pretty good riding them. I'm looking for the next step and I see lots of 650SX around for good prices. How much better is an SX vs a JS? I'm a pretty light guy so I don't think I need a 750SX or SXI Pro. I know everyone is...

I'm new to the sport and want to know what machine I should go with. I practically stole a JS440 at a tag sale. I decided I needed 2 machines (need someone to ride with) and got a JS550 with West Coast parts but a bad motor (thought I could fix the motor but couldn't). Now I'm looking at 2 1991...
