test

Okay guys, over the weekend I test drove the Victory Hammer and Jackpot. Keep in mind I've never ridden another bike other than the Vmax, except for the dual sport 250 I was taught on in my driving course. I was not impressed at all to be honest. They had absolutely no guts at all. And...

I was browsing around on ebay and pulled up a part from Pinwall and see that they had dyno'd the bike before dissassembly. http://www.pinwallcycle.com/ebay/bike2399/bike2399dss.jpg 90HP/ 159 ft lbs Wonder what kind of mods the PO did to pull those #'s :biglaugh:

Maybe it was the color but when the salesmen threw me the keys I couldn't say no. Wouldn't sell the bike - just give it some company! I was familiar with Bombardier from my snowmobile days growing up in Oswego, N.Y.. Grabbed my gear and off we went. You sit high, foot shift on the left...

For the past couple weeks I've been trying to track down an issue with my fuel pump. I was getting current to the fuel pump relay, but not out to the pump. So, I replaced the fuel pump relay. Now, I'm getting current to the fuel pump, but it's not clicking away as it should (I disconnected...

SGT For Oil Pressure???? Verified it's OK...... I have an oil pressure gauge coming from Cycle One Off. In the mean time, I'll ask a question about a Go-No Go indication using the sight glass as an indicator. With the bike setting level, my oil level is at the top mark for the sight glass. I...

Here is a screen shot from the last Stock Bike ECU tuning session. The changes in the data you will see was entirely derived from flashing the OEM ECU and speaks for itself. Screen Shot I will finish the tuning this weekend and do some more riding to verify I like it, then it's Beta Test...

FOR SOME REASON MY POST KEEP GETTING DELETED :ummm::confused2:

I have sold several bikes in my years and I use to let someone who was interested take it for a ride but then one year a guy wrecked my 2001 VMAX and of course didn't buy it........lol nor could I do anything about it. From that point on I said I would never let anyone ride it until they buy...

Went to the track yesterday for King of the track/ NHRA summit series race and did a little test and tune. The nhra event was bullshit so i was only doing test and tune. I only got to make 5 runs, and the first 4 were 6.16-6.22. The track prep was so sticky that i couldn't figure out where to...

Did you see the Girl's butt in the background? . . . If you did you need to get your eyes checked. The girl that is taking the picture? that's her arm and shoulder. :biglaugh:

Someone sent me a link to this MSF site. It's pretty cool. Try taking both tests and see how you do. One is for sign recognition and the other is road condition awareness. Good luck. http://www.msf-usa.org/riderperception/

ALMOST A FREAKING TANK SLAPPER! Very helpless feeling when you are at 110 and she starts the death wobble! :bang head: She was rock solid up until the magic number (so rock solid that I got too comfortable) and then it got violent. That was the result of tightening the steering head up...

Hey all, thought I'd post this after reading up on the many post on carb tuning here. I bought a 04 about two months ago which needed the carbs cleaned severly so I pulled the carbs and noticed the carbs were jetted. Heres what I'm running right now. Cobra exhaust (slip on's ) appears to be...

Has anyone run comparative dyno tests on their V-Max with the "Y" section of the air box on and then off? What were the differences in HP & torque, if any? Thanks

I just thought I would share my experiences today with test riding the 1100 S Monster. First off, I love Ducati. I was looking at a 800 monster prior to my purchase of the Max. But, it was not to be. Stopped by the local Ducati dealer today and they had the entire line up out front and they were...

I rode with gbrown in the black hills today. I had 88 octane fuel in my 09 and George had 93 octane in his 09. We made two roll on pulls on about a 4% uphill grade from 3000 rpms one in 4th gear and one in fith gear. The bike with 88 octane pulled ahead both times. Rider weight is...

OK. Sherlocks. This is a skills test for you petrol heads who want to test their motorcycle fault diagnosing prowess. :ummm: This quizz is based on a true story. I can usually sort out engine problems PDQ but I have just spent two days working on a friend?s Honda CX500 trying to figure out...
