I found out while I was on a 10 day cruise. Our mutual fried Patrick texted me. I spoke to his daughter Alyssa today. John use to come stay with me from time to time when he was in Central Florida. I would go check out bikes he wanted to purchase that was in driving distance from me. Was...

I also can attest the Sean taking the time to help you. Countless times he has responded to my emails and given advice on this or that and has been spot on.

Update on my situation. John Furbur came to visit for a couple weeks. While here he discovered the shims was missing in the right rear carb needles. He put all new shims in all of them and now she peforms as she should. :) No clue why a shim was missing and didnt notice any issues on the...

Yes I plan to make him proud. :) Thanks!!

Well sorry you asked about the mileage. I purchased the Goldwing from my Step Mom. My dad purchased the bike just before he retired and then he got sick and eventually passed away 2 years ago. He only put 236 miles on it before it was parked. I paid to get the bike running again because it...

Hey now I have a Goldwing as well. Actually just picked up 2 weeks ago. 2009 with 940 miles on her. Need some cosmetics work, but she rides smooth.

WOW!! Thats a really great scheme. I love it.

A lot of valuable information. I will review and plan a date on the jet changes. :)

Well this long term project is another lesson in I should have left well enough alone. Changes to the exhaust are made and now I will fix the new issues. I will pull the carbs off as soon as Traumahawk provides the instructions on whichever route is best suited for the VMAX. I dont race and I...

Whichever is the quickest. If I have to pull the carbs off I will have to put that off until I have a free day. I am good with trying whichever that would work.

Well no matter where I adjusted the a/f mixture screws nothing changed. Started at 2 turns out on all 4. Took a test ride. Stuttered at 3500 to 5500rpm. Went to 1.75 turns out. Stuttered at 3500 to 5500rpm. Went to 1.5 turns out. Stuttered at 3500 to 5500rpm. Went to 1 turn out...

Probably should move to Carb section. I will purchase the necessary items and peep out the carbs and see if I can personally do this myself.

I get that I will only be making changes up to the 4krpm range and I am good with that for now since when I do cruise that's where I am. I have not noticed any stuttering at 5rpm for now. I will tackle the next hurtle after I review how to change the main jets and shim the needles. I can work...

Very good explanation and I now have a better understanding of what is going on. The exhaust I have is a replica of the Star Rider Street Flow 4 into 1 exhaust. Looks like below. I do have the full header. Purchased from John Furber and he helped install. Tonight I plan to pull the bike out...

No sir I have not. Not much carb knowledge here. Unfortunately I live in an area full of crooks and I dont have a lot of free time in my life. Hence having an hour here or there a month to tinker.

So I am going the wrong way? Let me get this straight. Clockwise is the same as righty tighty(closing) so leaning out. Counter clockwise is lefty loosey(opening) so richening? Must be nice to have a Gen 2 as well. That is my goal to, but still stuck on intermittent fixing of the Gen 1.

I adjusted my rear shocks. Took less than 5 minutes. Spent 2 hours trying to get rid of the 4krpm stutter and was unsuccessful. I have done the COPs, adjusted the 4 a/f screws to no avail, and I have resync'd the carbs several times. Problem started when I switched to a freer flowing...

4got to add this to my notifications. Yes that is my Supra in the garage..

Bled the clutch so I could ride around the corner. She's been in the shed for a month.
