    Setting shift segment (bike thinks 1st is 3rd gear)

    Long story short, I made a few mistakes while putting in a new clutch (with DD mod) and upgrading the shift segment. The first mistake was I forgot to push the shift rod all the way to the left before tightening the nut on the shifter. I went for a test ride, shifted to 2nd, then shifted...

    Fl drag & street bike not a VMax

    Pics of my friend's bike, almost ready for test & tune! It's a GS1150 'a bit bigger' than stock. The guy who does my widened VMax wheels made the extended swingarm, from scratch, note it's got a NOS bracket; and the engine headwork. A street bike, built for strip use. Lots of $$ parts on this...

    This is why I don't trust anything on my bike

    I noticed the engine guards are starting to rust a bit...and realized they were installed on the wrong side! They're actually contacting the engine mount bolt....gotta love previous owner work.

    What to Look for on a Dropped Bike?

    Looking at getting a V Star 1300 and, according to the seller, the guy before him had a very low speed tip over. The front fender is crooked, the handlebar dented the tank, and some other stuff got the usual scrapes. Supposedly the current owner bought it from him and hasn't had an issue in the...

    Brand New Bike

    So here is a query. I just bought a brand new '15, 0.1 km on it. The snow just melted and the roads are still too covered in gravel to ride. I have fired it up, let it run for a bit, but after i kill it theres a white smoke emitting from the right exhaust. Not a lot, but still noticeable. Is...

    First Bike Suggestions (for Son)

    For some strange reason my oldest son (18 yrs old, junior in high-school) has decided he wants a motorcycle :ummm: (I have no idea where this idea came from). I told him he needs to wait until he's in college but think I'll cave before then. We are planning to have him take the MSF new rider...

    Installed LED, now bike won't charge.

    I installed an LED light bar on the max yesterday, now the bike won't hold a charge. I am getting roughly 12.00 volts at idle. Bench tested the stator and it checks out. Could the new light have fried the regulator? Anyone else have charging issues after installing auxiliary lights? Battery...

    Bike Cranks, but won't start.

    I replaced a worn out battery and now the bike cranks, but does not start or fire for that matter. Now it did sit for three weeks without a battery, I don't know if that is a factor or not. I noticed the odometer number had been replaced by the number "41" and when I ran a diagnostic I came...

    Sport bike front wheel upgrade

    I'very been looking for a good front tire for my 1st Gen. It seems they only make bias ply for that size rim. Doesn't make much sense to me since we haven't seen bias ply tires on cars in over 30 years, so I went searching for a better solution. Many threads talk about retro fitting a sport bike...

    Bike won't start unless in neutral

    Can pull the clutch in and start the bike. The only way now, is it has to be in neutral. Should I be looking at the kick stand switch as the culprit?
