An old post, i know, but I have to chime in. I bought the Scout 60 about 5 months ago. unfortunately, I totaled it about 6 weeks ago, a burning car on the freeway, rubberneckers and chaos. I will buy another Scout when the weather warms up, I loved the bike. I still have my V-Max, a 2001 model...

Sorry this took so long to get back to you all. My mechanic buddy said I had a frozen rocker arm, I had him tune it up a while back, this California gas is screwing up a lot of vehicles. There was water in my carbs, he did a complete tune up. I don't know what caused the rocker arm to freeze up...

Thanks guys, I am bringing it back to my tune up guy today, I'll let you know what happens.

I just went out there, started it up, the noise did speed up with the throttle. Made no difference with the clutch in or out. I pu it in 1st gear, did not let the clutch out, it stopped the motor. Then I Had a heck of a time finding neutral, found neutral, neutral light did not light up, starter...

It was doing it in gear and in neutral. It didn't speed up ( the noise) when I throttled it up a little. I didn't pull in the clutch. I'll do a few things tomorrow, it's a little late for me to make the noise fore the neighbors tonight. Thanks for the response. Dan

I had some work done on my bike (2002 Vmax) this spring. New tires, carbs were full of water from our wonderful California winter gas, 3 weeks sitting and the gas went to hell, oil change, tune up. I've put about 80 miles on it since the work was done, got home from a short blast the other day...

Thanks guys, appreciate the input. I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

I have an 02 Vmax, fired it up today, it had been sitting for about 3 weeks. The top vent tube was leaking fuel on the left side, exhaust was grey-black. After searching here and reading a few posts, the float is sticking? what are the chances of this loosing up if I let it run a bit, catching...

I'm 56, & wouldn't trade my max for 2 Harleys. Started at 14 with a Honda, had a few of those, a few Kawis. About 20 years of no bikesNow I can't hardly wait til the weekend for a blast on the bike.

I'm a new member here, I joined up to get some ideas on modifying the exhaust. I drilled the rivets and the 1/2 inch holes as suggested, I love the sound! Thanks for the idea. Now, How much louder will it be if I do the punchout in the center exhaust? Thanks for the input, this is a cool site. Dan

Another new member here, another Dan also...I live in the San Joaquin Valley in Ca., Visalia is the name of the town. I'm surrounded by Harley guys, I've always liked to be "different" from the norm, so when I found my Vmax for a decent price, I bought it. I've had Kawis and Hondas in the past...
