    Is charging adaquet test of regulator?

    Is a bike charging 13.5 v at 2k rpm and no drain when bike is off a good test that the regulator is OK? I read the manual and it stated there was no good way to test it but I just think that's absurd.

    Out of the blue bike runs like crap

    I was cruising down a road and stopped for a light. Bike was idling fine but when I took off it started stumbling and wouldn't rev up very high. I made it home but now it won't even rev up to 4k parked. I tried the fuel filter, no luck. Do you think it'w the fuel pump or something worse? The...

    Vapor Lock?

    My '99 has a tendency to act like it's starving for gas if I run hard then stop and sit at a light for a bit. I believe a friend had a vmax that did the same thing till he got it fixed. I forget what the problem was but it may have been something like vapor lock. Anyone ever heard of this and...

    Magna Charged Vmax 4-sale.

    Was picking through Craigslist in my area (SF). There are always a lot of vmaxs and I got a heck of a deal on mine ('99 with 8k miles for only $4,500). Anyway, there is a magna charged one there for $10k. Its owner is Mike Talbert, yes "THE" Mike Talbert of racing fame. Here is a link to the...

    Anyone have left over stock seat vinyl?

    Anyone have leftover stock seat vinyl? I want to try a custom seat design but need a little more stock vinyl to pull it off. I don't think the stock vinyl can be bought anywhere, right? If not, anyone have their original cover leftover after having their seat modded (front or back portion...

    Anybody have a Slingbox?

    I thought the Dallas game against the Giants was on today but NOOOOOOO. They had to show the stinking Raiders because it's an away game. I wish the Raiders would just move to another state already so we don't have to watch two stinking teams. Anybody that has a team people want to watch like the...

    Any good tuners in San Jose?

    I have what feels like a few flat spots in power and my supertraps are turning very brown so I think it could use a good tune. Anyone know of a good tuner around San Jose CA?

    Does a 1/8" rear offset greatly affect handling?

    Considering going with a 18" rear (RC SportMax). This rim has a 1/8" offset for a 180 tire. Does this small amount of offset greatly affect the handling?

    Fork springs without additional bottom springs?

    Has anyone installed just the top Progressive (brand) springs and not the additional bottom one or two springs under the dampner? I know I'm being lazy but from what I think I've read not everyone seems to add them. If this is OK to do how long should the spacers be for a 2" drop?

    Shorter tires

    I hate the tall tire look. I have stock rims with 150/90 and 110/90 and they just look too big and cruiser for me especially in the back. Is there a different size available that are shorter like a 70 (I know the speedo will be even more off with anything shorter). If I go with these will it...

This mornign I started changing out my turn signals to clear ones (nice) and after wiring up the first one I turned the key to ON. NOTHING LIT UP! No dash lights, no power to anything (I have a volt meter and...

    Wide Open SuperTrapp Consequences?

    Are there any consequences to running a wide open Supertrapp? I left the baffle in and has stock jetting at sea level. It had 7 disks before with a closed end. It sounds a little louder but not as much as you would think.

    Questions about rear Progressive Shocks

    I am upgrading the suspension on my '99. I dropped the fronts 1.5" in the clamps and that made it handle much better. I now enjoy the tight stuff. I thought I read a lot of good things about the progressive 11.5" but now believe it will probably drop it too much (I like cornering). Instead of...

    Yellow Raptor Shift Light Bright Enough?

    I noticed Python only offered the Raptor in red with black, clear, or red covers but I was thinking yellow might go better with my bike (no red on it but has the yellow turn signals). I want a light that screams Shift! Not one that appears like you just blew your engine (red). The only thing...

    Horsepower Gains from Stage 7?

    Is this a mod worth doing? I have a '99 with Supertrapp exhaust and stay pretty much at sea level. If it is worth doing how much horsepoer can be gained? NOTE - I understand you do NOT want to drill slides, change springs, or change air jets (unless you get a stumble).

    Cheapest place to get sissy bar?

    I like the OEM passanger backrest (sissy bar) that does not have the rack. Where is the cheapest place to get one or is there a really good knockoff at a good price?

    Removing lower black paint on scoops.

    I personally don't like the lower black paint on the scoops. Is there a simple way to do this yourself? If not can you get it done anywhere (what do you ask for)? Or, do you have to buy them predone (where?)
