It was a bit dark but the red light on top is the on/off switch. I have it wired direct to the battery (through a fuse of course) so it is not switched from the key. I can then reverse feed that battery. The red in the front is the voltage display. It scrolls between 5v (for the UBS) and 12v...

Interesting, that does sound less expensive/complicated and get's the rider's attention. Maybe not as safe just as a light. I might look into bypassing the fuel shut off at some point and just have the light come on.

You've got good eyes. For the winter I put in fuel stabilizer as well as run the bike out of gas. My carbs are pretty Ify now so I get rid of as much fuel in the bike as I can for the winter. So I left it on reserve. I would think when you switch to reserve a solenoid opens the lower fuel...

I installed an inexpensive power outlet for 12v and USB. Works well on my other bike keeping my phone (navigation) powered. Also reverse feeding 12v back to the battery from my trickle charger. Beats having to unbolt my aftermarket seat all the time. Plus it has a voltage readout. I admit...

I've always thought protests are like football games. Everyone neatly files into the stands ready for a good time, then excitement builds, the team wins or loses, someone throws a chair, then everyone starts tearing the place apart. Caught up in the moment and regretting it the next day.

OK so when does the show start?

Is a standard grab bar worth anything? I could probably get one for free, and a center stand, if I drove 100 miles to pick it up.

And make sure you hold on to it tightly when against the buffing wheel. Mine went flying across the room and I had to then sand/buff a few more scratches out.

Well you can always polish now and if you don't like it, chrome it. The $ cost of polishing it is less than going to McDonalds.

Exactly what I encountered. I polished and polished only to then see streaks in the casting. They still look better than factory but not perfect. I might get mine chromed someday but polioshing keeps me out trouble doing other things I probably shouldn't be doing. I got a stick of - Tripoli...

That dog definitely looks like it is good at "Staying."

Sorry for the bad English l am on my phone and should have gotten my glasses. The tiller I was referred to was a roto tiller with a Briggs motor. The valve seat was just what looked like a urethane washer. I did replace both the seat and valve but still had issues. I agree bass will usually...

I has a float valve on a tiller would either be opened or closed. I pulled the carb like 6 times adjusting and even replaced the float valve. It just would not seat. Probably ethanol ate up the seat. Anyway, I replaced the carb and life was good. However the carb only cost $15 so was easy to give up

I don't know these carbs but I've had a lot of issues with running rich because the float was not set correctly and gas was just poring in the motor.

Nice bike. But does everything have to be flat black!

I'm kind of new to Vmax ownership as well. In looking around here for a while it looks like coils and popping out of second gear under acceleration are the biggies. The second gear issue looks like a show stopper since you have to split the cases to fix it. You can find lots of people...

A NOS tank would be cool converted to hold gas would be cool on the back. It would make people think.

That's good, I mean that he lived, I know quite a few not as lucky. If they would only make seatbelts mandatory on motorcycles. Just think of the lives saved. No, wait, I guess it doesn't work that way. Maybe bubble wrap jackets.

So the guy stayed on the bike and burned up, wow. Anything can happen Seems like one of those people around there would have pulled him off. DIckwads

I've never heard of a rider burning to death or blowing up in a crash. I suppose it's possible. Usually the coroner is prying out pieces of the rider from a Buick grill.
