After reading some of the starter clutch replacement horror stories I was nervous about it being VERY difficult. I got all of my parts in and cracked Into it fullforce while being very clean and organized bagged & tagged (drained oil, pulled off peg, shifter, side covers & hooked up harmonic...

I was tooling around in the garage earlier today & picked up the stock boat anchor/exhaust, and man let me tell you that counterweight is heavy! When I bought my bike it already had a UFO 4/2/1 installed and stock was included, so it's hard to estimate the weight reduction. But I am assuming a...

Mine has started hard like that for the last 5 coldstarts🥶 When i do get it started and its warm, it will fire right up though.

Sean is great and makes great stuff, but i talked to him on the phone a week ago and his mod is around $450 (I'm assuming it's a get what you pay for type of deal, and I won't find anything of better quality elsewhere) I haven't looked at anything else to compare quality & prices. But I...

Irrelevant, but may lighten up the tense atmosphere of this. Also its information that I could truly use. Does anyone have suggestions for a gen 1 starter clutch replacement upgrade or mod to ensure that it will never fail again for years to come?

If I recall correctly, fire-medic has posted several times about "make motorcycling great again" I would have to say that's contradictory to his liberal rant on this thread. Also motorcycling has always been great no matter what your riding. So I don't know why he's speaking about political...

More POWA more PROBLEMS!! Every moving vehicle ever made.

Yeah most motorcycles have a pretty good power to weight ratio compared to cars, especially our type of bikes. His vette does have a very hard 0 -50 dig tho

Yeah I'm not sure what v boost setting I'm into being as the bike is so new to me, but it is ridiculously fast for a cruiser style bike. I actually drag raced my brother in his Corvette and beat him pretty good. At that moment I was like holy crap this thing is an absolutely monster!

Just got back from a long & awesome solo ride through some scenic twisties. I have a feeling it might be a late night in the garage tearing into the bike a bit and learning more about it🤭🤠

Yeah it kicks in at 3K, pulling real hard by 3.5K. I feel like closer to 5K would be the magic number.

Interesting, a part of me is glad that I bought a bike that has mods on it already as far as price point. But sometimes I wish I had found one more stock, and done some of the mods myself to learn with it.

Yeah it's ignitech, I don't actually like how low the Vboost kicks in with it tho?

Hmm I never thought of that, good point.

I would like to take the time to say sorry for getting a little bit Snappy on a few replies, I feel like my original post was taken a little bit out of context a couple times and that's fine. However, I am a pretty easy-going guy that just loves motorcycles like the rest of you. But this is...
