I've visited this problem 4 or 5 times in the past with my 89 and never fixed it. Oil seepage from the left side.

Anyone have a left front carb body from a 1st Gen. All I really need is the body. I want to put a manual VMax style choke on my Venture and it does not have the mounting boss on it. I have an ultrasonic cleaner, so it doesn't have to be in excellent shape, just cleanable. All my internals a...

I have 98 that just hit 29000. I have a feeling it is less than as powerful as it should be (who knows? It's my first motorcycle and I've only put about 200 miles on it). I was riding with my friend who has an 87 Magna 700 and he seemed to keep up with me, though I probably never had it above...

The right-front sync screw is bottomed so I split the rack and am going over the linkage. When idle thumb screw is all the way down I can still push down on the throttle linkage and the butterflies go down just a tiny bit. Is that normal? I have tried to sync w/o the throttle cables...

I just installed some solid motor mounts along with Marks Pipes and the K&N Intake from Morley. When I get up around 8g it looks like I get a splash of oil coming out on the cover on the left hand side... Question is, is it from the vibration of the solid mounts or the new pcv system...

Ok, guys. I am not the worlds greatest mechanic but i'm learning. Here's my problem. It started with my bike sitting for about 6 months without running. it's a 2005 max. When i turned it, it started pretty easily with about 2-3 cranks. However, when i started riding it had little to no power...
