    Cobra Exhaust HP Loss Explained, Please?

    I have a set of what appears to be slip-on SuperTrapp mufflers. Do they actually slip-on or do you need the complete set of headers as well to make it work? If so, has anyone done this, did you need to rejet and what were your perceived results? I have a new set of Marving mufflers on it now...

    December 2018 Race Tech VMax suspension products and info

    I installed the Racetech gold emulators, springs and seals last year and to me, it felt very tight and the steering seemed much more flickable. Well spent money in my mind.

    bike shipping service

    Try going to a dealer. They used to do it at the Harley dealer where I worked. They usually have good shipping crates and boxes as well as established shipping partners.

    Good compression, but really bad leak-down test?

    Just wondering if the bike was in 5th gear, rear brakes locked on and rear wheel locked to prevent movement? If not, it is possible the wheel turns while doing the leakdown test and move the valves into an open position.

    Algoma circle tour - hwy129

    I am originally from Bruce Mines which is about a half hour away, driven that road a hundred times and it is always a nice drive. You can also go up to Chapleau then cut across to Wawa and then back along the Lake Superior Coast which is a fantastic ride. If at night, watch for moose and deer...

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    I installed four new diaphragms and a new to me fuel pump. What a difference, back to being a VMax again.

    2001 VMAX Won't Start

    I had the same problems and reconditioned the switch but found that the real problem was having drag bars that allow the throttle cables, etc. to touch the keys when moving slowly in parking lots etc. I tied up the cables tighter to the bars and it does not happen anymore.

    LED taillight with an odd problem

    Disconnect the yellow wire (under the seat near the rear) to check to see if your power for the brake light is coming from somewhere else or just the brake system.

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    1. Took the fuel pump off and checked it as I cannot hear it cycle when I turn the key switch. It is functioning and pumping but the diaphragm is worn out and I think it is not allowing full movement which gives the click. 2. Didn´t have power going to the rear running light. Checked the...

    Carb help

    Was having similar problem with my Max, check your diaphragms for cracks or holes. Used Crazy Glue and sodium bicarbonate for a quick fix until Mr. Morley delivers my new diaphragms. $75 each plus shipping (plus paypal 3%)

    Electrical for Noob

    I recently had some electrical issues which I think were due to my wife and I staying at a hotel very close to the beach and it being covered in ocean mist due to big breaking waves. My key switch and fuel pump stopped working until I cleaned the contacts on both. What is your recommendation...

    Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

    Read it this year, remember some parts were ok but others a little boring for my taste. The title threw me off, wished it was more mechanical-minded, but hey, I don´t like Shakespeare either and it has turned to be quite popular too.

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    Started repairing the light damage to my Hepco and Becker trunk due to it coming off when I hit a immensely huge hole in the road in Veracruz, Mexico. Flew right off and bent the trunk mount. Have since reinforced the mount and the mount on the hard saddlebags to be able to put more weight...
