I had a Red 250 Johnny Pag chopper, and sold it for the same price I purchase it for…! I Believe I had it for a couple years….! It was a great looking motorcycle but it was really hard to get it up to 50 miles an hour….! And I had five other motorcycles at the same time, so something had to go ….! , but they were very cool looking motorcycle….!
I know this video is 4 years old but I have a 2011 johnny pag and I just bought a new twist throttle for it and im trying to take off the end metal piece to put the new one on but im having no luck.. what should I do? (the end piece is the same as the red bike in the video)
I owned a red Spider . 2007 . I couldn't go anywhere without people approaching me . Even if a male was on his 1100 riding with me . I only sold it because I lost use of my legs for awhile . I am back & I want my bike back !!! I live now in Arkansas. Tell me how we can make this happen . PLEASE
My jp cranks but won't start ..it died on me while riding it few times and since it died on me few months ago it won't start ..it has a new battery.. anyone can help me please 🙏
You can purchase a cheap spark tester at the auto parts store. It plugs in between the spark plug and the plug wire. Or, if you're brave, stick something round and metal ( like a Phillips screwdriver) into the plug wire boot, and hold the screwdriver about 1/8 to 1/4 inch from a good ground, like bare metal, while someone cranks the engine. If the ignition is good, you'll see a blue spark jump from the screwdriver to the ground. It helps to do this is a low-light area, not out in the sun. If there's no spark, the problem is likely the ignition system. Check the coil next. This gets a little more involved. Make sure both leads (small wires) are connected and tight. Use an inexpensive test light to verify you're getting power to the coil when the switch is on. To check the ground (the other wire), connect one end of your test light to the ground wire, and the other end to the battery. If the ground is good, the light will come on. If not, follow the ground wire and make sure it is connected tightly to the frame or battery, as the case may be. (I've never worked on a JP, I'm unfamiliar with the specifics. These are generic tests.) The next step is to check the coil itself. This requires a multi-meter, and someone who knows what the resistance should be. Or take the coil off (2 bolts?), and have your local bike shop test it. If you DO have spark, try a shot of starting fluid in the carbs. Remove the air cleaner / filter, if equipped, open the choke, if it has one, and put about a 2 seconds shot of starting fluid in each carb. Immediately hold the throttle 1/4 to 1/2 open, and crank it. If it starts, then dies, it's likely a fuel problem. At least you'll know the cylinders / compression is okay. Start by draining the tank, lines, and float bowls, then add fresh gas. Let me know how it goes. From the symptoms you described, it sounds like the coil was getting weak, or one of the wires is not making a good connection. My Sportster was stuttering, cutting out at high rpm/ full throttle, and you wouldn't believe some of the shade tree diagnoses I heard. It turned out to be the ground wire on the coil was loose. A squeeze with the pliers, and plug it back on fixed it. That was a lot cheaper than a trip to the Harley shop.
If these tests don't give you a spark, you'll either have to find someone familiar with these engines' ignition system, like your local bike shop, or get a shop manual (if they're available) and a few basic tools, like a volt meter/ multi-meter. I purchased a shop manual for my Sportster at our local dealer. It set me back $75, but it has saved me hundreds over the years by allowing me to do a lot of maintenance and repairs myself.
How much did you pay for the 300cc one? I just found a really nice 2010 model for $3,400. Just wondering if it's over priced .
I would definitely try to talk them down to at least 2000

I couldn’t agree with you more. Great fun bike and turned a lot of heads. 😎👍🏼
Just got the spider 300 for $250 with less then 200 mil on it....an I love the little bike
You got a great deal!!! The bike is amazing
Wow damn near worth a decent new tire!! I would snatch that like a fool 😝
These are sweet little bikes I wonder how hard it would be do you use it as a rolling chassis and upgrade the engine with a V-Twin
It has been done. However; these are actually very impressive stock
@@shawncouture5541 it has been donde? please give some info if you have...
@@diegolimberrodrigueztuesta7517 I don’t understand your question
@@shawncouture5541 do you know if it is possible to put a V twin on this bike? If you know... which engine? Can I put a harley v twin on it?
@@diegolimberrodrigueztuesta7517 I’m not sure
In Florida it called Daytona 300 cc

@@GamingCastorPhyD it should come right off. They’re just bar ends. You might be able to put a towel or something over it and use a wrench.
@@shawncouture5541 that is EXACTLY what i did but it didnt budge... i evevn added wd40 and nun... any suggestions?
@@GamingCastorPhyD check to make sure there isn’t a screw in the end of the bar.
@@shawncouture5541 i dont think there is, the hole goes really deep. I put a screw driver all the way down the hole and theres nothing
@@GamingCastorPhyD I believe it may be an Allen wrench

Hi Shawn. Can the Pag 250 be modified to have a 2nd seat in the back like the 300 one?
Absolutely, it’s just a seat that you can buy and you can put it on
Hi Shawn, the grips on both bikes, are they factory? Or did you source them somewhere else? If so - where??
Factory

Thank you. I put a lot of work into it.
I have a 2009 Johnny peg I need control handlebar panel for the right hand side throttle cable
Look on eBay
I want to buy the red one please . How much
I sold it
Wish you had run the 250 so us viewers could compare the sounds.
It’s a bit quieter
Do you still own these?
I have sold them both
Where are locations that I can buy the Spider (red )
You will need to look around where you live locally and see if someone is selling one possibly on Facebook marketplace
Is it confortable with shorter riders, about 170cm?
I’m 5’11”

Check for spark change the plugs and clean the carburetor.

If you really thought your buke was so awesome you would likely have more than 300 miles on it
I’m not sure if you are aware but I sold them. I also have many bikes. Hard to ride them all.
