Anyone on here selling COPs? Looks like birdofprey hasn't been active here in a while.

So I bought a new set of brushes to rebuild my 4-brush starter. I have it apart and am trying to get it back together. Is there a trick to get all 4 brushes held in their spring loaded holders and getting the armature slid in past them? Do I need a few more people's hands to accomplish this? Or...

If I read the repair manual correctly, the cooling system "drain" check valve (below the radiator) is supposed to be in the "OFF" setting while driving around? This has the valve in the closed position. I would think the valve should be "ON" in the OPEN position for full "flow". Book says to...

The friction plates have one semi circle (notch) on one side and a double on the other side. I assume they line up together but do they need to fit to the clutch basket in a certain orientation?

I replaced my starter clutch this time last year with OEM replacement parts and had no more problems for the rest of the season. I rode all year and put it away last fall and all was fine it seemed. So this year the only motor work I've done is to replace my main clutch friction plates. They...

Does anyone have a lightly used stock brake rotor for a few bucks plus shipping? Mine had a draggy pad and is blued and a little warped. Thanks in advance.

So I have my 78,000 mile OEM exhaust pipes off my Gen 1 and need to get the crush washers off before putting on replacement pipes. Is there a particular trick to getting them out of the ports? Trying to not go too gorilla on them but they ARE IN THERE! Don't want to mar up any mating surfaces...

Does anyone have a set of stock pipes kicking around they're not using? (Probably most everyone LOL) Preferably somewhat low miles, less than 40K or so. Both my sets have 65K & 80K and the inside pipes are broken and rattling. Very embarrassing sitting at lights as you can imagine. I don't need...

My starter motor spins but doesn't engage anything. Is this a problem on the starting motor side? Or do I need to go in to the stator cover and fix something in the starter clutch area? Had the "Bag-O-Rocks" issue a couple of seasons ago and fixed the problem with the loose starter clutch. This...

Quick question: Will an '07 RR fit and have same connectors as my '95? Can't really tell from the crappy microfiche pics. But I suspect they do......

Who's using what for LED headlights? How do you like the performance, reliability, cost? I'm having my 2nd failure with my HID setup. I love the performance but reliability seems to be a problem for me. Looks like I may need to bail on it. What are you guys using? and how do you think they...

Looks like this could be my year for an exhaust upgrade! But went to MarksPerformance.com web page and surprisingly didn't find any contact info. Can someone provide this?

Hi all, I bought a used set of Progressive Suspension 412 rear shocks a while back but didn't get a spanner wrench with them. Just checking here to see if anyone has one they're not using that they'd be willing to part with for a couple of bucks or so. PM me if you do.

So my Dale Walker Holeshot slip-ons have at least 65,000 on them and are getting a bit tired. I've lost a few rivets and have a rattle. I was planning to take them off and drill out the remaining rivets and replace them all. So I was thinking while I have them ready to take apart, I'd have a...

Has anyone fitted a trailer hitch to their Gen I Vmax here? I'm wondering if there is anything out there bolt-on or will I need to custom fab something? I picked up a tow behind trailer that I want to modify to hold my RC airplanes so I can do both of my hobbies on the same sunny day. I...

I've got antifreeze leaking from the "freeze plug" on bank# 4 (front-right). This is the one behind the spark plug, up a little higher. Has anyone.......Sean......LOL........taken the motor apart in this area? The microfiche for this area looked unclear when I looked at it whether or not...

My HID headlight failed last week (details later). So I got in there to troubleshoot the problem this weekend. I find that the element flickers on and goes out immediately so I believe I have power to the unit but don't know if I have a bad element or one of the three "black box" components in...

Anyone going to or are already there? I'm outta here at 3:00 heading there for last couple days.............. I know Garrett's going......... Load up the bike, Danny! Let's go...It's in your backyard..........meet ya up on the Pike.........

So my buddy is mostly finished building this Kawasuki, a '74 750cc Kawasaki triple 2-stroke motor in a '94 Suzuki GXR750 frame. Looks (& sounds!!) pretty sharp as you can see. Still working out some jetting issues but this question is about the charging system problem he is having. The bike is...

So............. I bought a brand new battery for Max. Installed it.....test fired it up to make sure everything was good. Bike hasn't been started all winter. Turned over a couple times and it fired up. Great. Shut off immediately. Couple hours later......and a few beers....this is Friday...
