    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    Put the drag bars back on this weekend and commuted to work today. Wow. What a difference having the carbs tuned makes. When I first got the bike, the carbs were rough, but after a thorough cleaning and Sean's Muscle kit it's a different machine indeed. Also, the mid cut seat makes a huge...

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    Went for a quick ride to exercise some demons. It's been a wild week. My transmission isn't liking me too much. Going to have to spend some money and get second gear fixed soon. Also thinking about going back to stock handlebars, if I can find equivalents. The current setup has too much pull...

    Birdoprey's COP (Coils Over Plugs) Mod

    I have an 86 that I did this on. I started with a higher resistance than stock and backed down until the bike would run. I can't remember exactly, but I think I also ended up using individual resistors for each coil rather than a single resistor. I have an older dyna ignition box, not the stock...

    How-To find the VMax Outlaw site thanks Sean Morley

    I might have a backup of that site. I need to go through the files and find a place to host them properly. It's one of my many projects at the moment. Since the site is no longer active, are there any copyright concerns with Payne the information elsewhere?

    Was hit by an SUV in LA

    I'm sure that most MC riders reading this article get frustrated at the gross incompetence in government. Makes me wonder if the transport company was bribing the DMV. (After thought) I also have to wonder if these guys on the bikes were really paying attention. A lot of HD riders seem to...

    Some wiring issue...

    Might have the trail light and brake lights swapped. The blue wire is for the parking lights. Maybe a bad ground?

    Some wiring issue...

    Starter safety relay - it's connected through the starter relay direct from the battery. Blue/white goes to the start button then to ground. Check the main fuse. It's by itself on the left above the battery with red wires going to it. Brown is main power going everywhere, connecting that to...

    NEED HELP! Electrical gremlin

    As others have said, get one thing at a time. The fuel pump, v boost, and ignition all run on the same fuse, so it's confusing that it runs, but the fuel pump isn't running. I would begin by getting the starter circuit checked out because it's the simplest. If you have brake lights, then you...

    NEED HELP! Electrical gremlin

    Ok, so providing that the harness isn't jacked to pieces. Follow the red wire from the battery (#34) to the main fuse (#3), then to the switch. After the switch, it should be brown to the fuse block. The wire coming from the ignition circuit is red with a white stripe (red/white). After the kill...

    NEED HELP! Electrical gremlin

    Sounds like the main fuse should be the first check. Everything goes through that on it's way to the ignition switch.

    Morley's Jets Setup

    Well, I took a good long ride this weekend, 278 miles, and 44.97mpg!!! Wow! That's the best mileage ever!! The bottom end is still a bit lean (maybe). Thing I might have to get someone to clean the carbs really well. Put three tanks of Seafoam through on Saturday while riding and it seemed to...
