    My bike is dying at every stop only when the fans running. Had the battery load tested at 2 different auto parts stores and they said it was fine. Get it home and charge it, a week later its at 90%, another week later its at 85% and has stayed there for a couple weeks now (its not in the bike...

    High idle (4-5k rpm) for a few seconds

    Morleys jet kit with k&n lid, full kerker exhaust. What would cause the engine to rev to 4000-5000 rpm and stay there for a few seconds? Im sure its not the throttle cable because it does it using the choke too. Carbs have been gone through and only bench synced for now. I did find a couple...

    Butterfly valve screws stripped

    Repacking a kerker

    I just got done making a 2" baffle for my 4-1 kerker. Im putting stainless steel wool around it first. Would it be ok to use 2-stroke packing? The reason I ask is that I already have a bag of fmf packing but it says 2-stroke on it. Is there really any difference?

    Single-sided swingarm, I didnt research very well

    Ive got 2 swingarm setups off 08 goldwings. The only problem is that they are right side drive. That means the diff will be running backwards and upside down on a v-max. Is there any possible way I can make this work? The diff drain would be on top and the vent will be on the bottom which might...

    Why?

    I'm parting out an old XS750, check out this auction. Why is it going so high? I've sold many of those for $20-$60, just don't understand why this one is going so high. Any ideas? I guess buying that junk bike was worth the $25...

    Venture 16" Rear Wheel

    Will a venture 16" wheel fit? Im buying a differential off this guy for $40 and he said $20 for the wheel. I can get a radial in 16" right? Or would I just be waisting my time?

    Swingarm for a 190 Tire

    Can the stock swingarm be modified enough to clear a 190 tire (with the wheel still centered)? Wheres the best place to have the work done? If the stock swingarm wont work is there an aftermarket one I could order? I dont want to spend $450 on the one from Blueridge Mountain Sportmax, I got...

    86 Venture 1300 Carbs work on an 85 V-max?

    My right rear (as I sit on the bike)carb is messed up and probably cant be fixed. I got a set of carbs off an 86 XVZ13 pretty cheap. What would be the best way to go? I can either take the right rear venture carb, switch the jets, and bolt it in with the v-max carbs, or just clean, switch jets...
