Test your meter on a known good source. Is your V-Boost open all the time?

Not really a fair comparison being that they are two different bikes. Run a dyno test on the bike with stock set-up then switch to the Cobra's? I have seen Cobra's dyno around 112 RWHP

Blackjack Your quote "I am probably pushing its life expectancy for 5 years of use." My '2001 V-max, put a PC680 in '2003, still there, charging/starting fine My '1985 V-max, put a PC680 in '2005, still there, charging/starting fine My '1986 Fazer, put a Odyssey Battery (don't remember the...

BigJimi, You got that right "the reading will bounce around a lot" This is the same reason I'll use a average including the tenths. It drives me crazy to sit & wait for every little adjustment to settle down.

Have you synced the carbs recently? If the ambient air temp is 70~75 & the humidity is around 60% I'll set my CO levels to an average of 2.75% for each carb with the idle & sync maintained @ 1100rpm. If the ambient air temp is a 75+ & humidity is 70~80+% I'll set my CO levels to an average of...

check the left upper front & right upper rear intake manifold bolts? They might not have been sealed properly the last time they were re-installed.

Django, I live in the South Lyon area and have a supply of oil pans & gaskets in stock, contact me directly E-mail [email protected] if you need a oil pan swap-out

Make sure you have re-installed the three starter gears correctly. If they are improperly installed they will bind once the stator cover is torqued down.

Take a good look as to how the clutch line is routed from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder. You want to make sure the line from where it bolts up @ the master is the highest point then has a gradual slope down-ward to the slave cylinder connection. Look for any point along the way where...

I would recommend checking/replacing the slow speed fuel jets

Tyler & I are sponsoring a tech session on Friday during the Thunder event, we would be glad to help with your clutch issue.

What is the total mileage on the clutch basket? Generally once they reach about 20~25K the start to make the noise you are describing. This is very common (not to worry) as the friction disc reaction fingers wear notches into the outer basket.

Check / inspect the oil sending unit wire (white) starting from the sending unit, it might be grounded along the way?

Aikidoka, You will not be able to completely remove either of the two rear case bolts that have the copper washer seals unit the rear cylinder head has been removed.

Well sounds like you have done all the right things related to the starter clutch install and the battery is fully charged. My question would be are you using synthetic type motor oil & if so what brand?

10~12nm

Aikidoka, Two of the three bolts at the top-rear of the crankcase closest to the rear cylinder bank have copper seal type washers due to they penetrate oil circuit passages. You might be able to re-torque them to see if they will seal. Another place to look is next to these same bolts are a...

Brian, Nice pics, Laura & I have been there during February a few year back & were able to see the frozen fall in person, yes everyone who gets a chance should make the trip. We then used the Tahquamenon Falls parking lot as a base point then proceed across the street to the Giant Pine woods...

Lee, The owner of the gen-1 always participates in the Martin 131 bike days. Maybe you will be able to hook-up with him.
