    new clutch double d

    So, my stuff started slipping below 40 degrees F. My grandson and I pulled all the clutch plates, cleaned everything up and put the case cover back on. I installed a second factory diaphragm. I also use black rtv so I am waiting for it to cure and will probably take it out for a spin...

    Strange main needles

    I decided after 5.5 years on this old bike to try and lean out the motor so my wife would not complain about the rich running smell. So I pulled out three of the throttle valves and pulled out the needles. There is no adjustment. The needle looks fat at the lock clip end and tapers down to a...

    Vrod

    Jet backing out

    My max started running like crap so I removed all the bling and the air box. When I looked down in one of the carbs, the brass jet had backed out and is almost touching the base of the throttle valve. Anyone know if it pops back in or screws in?

    11 week report 86 max

    Okay boys, bought this thing from a chef after back surgery. I have hardly gotten off it since the last week of may when purchased. It still has a little chuff when goosing the throttle before warm, not enough to venture into. It appears to have a small oil seep that allows oil to run down on...

    86

    So I have been riding the 86 vmax for nine weeks now. I wear it instead of it wearing me now. My 22 month old grandson heard a few thunderbolts last night and said, "Grandpa, cycle, go work", truth from the mouth of a babe, the super trapp muffler on the four in one sounds like thunder. I do...
