    2001 Yamaha R1 issue

    I have a buddy who owns a 2001 R1 that will crank but not start when the engine is warm. Bike runs fine when warm with no stuttering, lack of power, etc., just won't re-start. Once the bike cools down, it starts fine. This is a carbureted bike. I would think coils, fuel pump (it has one), or...

    New Toy!

    I raced R/C cars 20 some odd years ago and decided to get a new Traxxas Stampede VXL. What a hoot!

    The bike I wish I wanted

    I really, really want to like this bike. I got started riding on air cooled in-line four Hondas (1973 CB750K and 1983 CB1000C). This is the bike I wanted when I bought my V-Max in 2005 (yeah, the 919 was out, but it didn't do anything for me). I wish I wanted this enough to sell my CBR to buy...

    Sylvania Silverstar Ultra

    So my second bulb just burned out. I've had two and they both lasted only about a year running them in the V-Max. They do put out nice bright light, but they are not worth the extra money due to poor longevity. Going back to the regular style bulb which I had installed for three years before...

    Wicked Wheelchair setup

    Think being in a wheelchair would prevent you from riding? Think again! Saw this today in Soldier IA.

    GPS Mount

    I bought a Garmin GPS awhile ago and finally got around to buying a mount for the V-Max. I picked one up from http://www.mountguys.com/. So far I am fairly impressed. The GPS unit is held in there quite well, and the reviews on the product that I have been able to find state that there were no...

    2011 fz-8

    I really like it, and its not obscenely expensive like a lot of new bikes these days. If this was available when I bought the Max...:a014: http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/products/modelhome/652/0/home.aspx

    Interesting info from the powder coaters

    So I dropped some stuff off at my local powdercoater and told him that I laid the bike down and rashed one of the scoops over the summer. I Just put some body filler on it to smooth it out and painted over it. I asked if there was some kind of metal filler I could use and then powder coat over...

    RANT: Sears Sucks!

    OK, so I finally decided to pick myself up a new tool box and of course the first place I think of is Sears. I go in and pick out a bottom top combo in black on sale for $249.00 and pay for it on April 10. They don't have it in stock and say it will come in on May 6th. Fine, I can wait. I...

    Carb slide info everyone should know

    If your carb diaphragms seem to have shrunk a little after having them off the bike for awhile, and this is preventing you from getting a good seal with the carb covers, then soaking them in gasoline for about 2 hours might expand them enough to seal correctly again. This tip comes from...

    Loss of power above 5k, slide issues?

    Finally was able to get the bike out on the road and its not pulling past 5k. Pulled the air box top and cleaned thoroughly the intake holes with carb cleaner. While I was doing this I noticed that the slides wouldn't move, at all, even revving to 7k. I had the carb side covers p/c this year...

    Opinions on air compressors

    I have finally decided that I need one and am looking for experienced opinions on two I found at Sears. I have never owned one or seriously looked into buying one. I am just going to use it for simple garage tasks, but will be looking for it to drive a 3/8 impact gun for the occasional tire...
