Hello all,
First time poster here, just recently bought a 2000 Vmax with 10,000 miles it is sputtering/popping and shutting off at low throttle I have to turn the key off then back on for it to start, without turning the key off when it shuts off it will crank but just pop and sputter will...
Well I’m getting that starting noise that signifies the starter clutch is on its way out... Anyone have positive experiences with a cheaper option than OEM? Also, how do these typically fail? Will the bike just not start one day? Or is this doing damage?
Thanks,
Connor

My Grandma used to say "too much sugar for-a-dime" now I know what she meant.
As ussual funds are short but been having charging issue with my Vmax. I'm redoing all the power and ground wires today with 4 gauge. I don't know if the regulator is bad but for $17 I figured it maybe worth changing. But I see the prices range from $17 to over $100. Will I be wasting money or...
I bought one of those small voltmeters off Ebay, with the intention of mounting it to the handlebar clamp and monitoring voltage. The meter reads 12.8 volts directly connected to battery, rising to 14.4 just off idle. I tied it into the front running light line in the headlight, and grounded...
I was at Sams club (buffalo NY) yesterday. In one of the Isles they had cases of RotellaT 15w40. The case was 6 one gallon jugs for $72.88. Comes out to $12.14 a gallon. Be a good local group buy.

I recently added the CBR tailight mod to my '89 and LOVE it! While at Wal-mart the other day, I noticed in their trailer lighting section, an LED light that I thougt might work so I picked it up. Here it is:

If anyone is interested, I emailed Danmoto, and he quoted me $190 shipped for two CF cans with 2" inlet and hangers that will mate up with my Dale Walkers.
I may pick some up sometime as my Dale Walkers are getting a little grubby. Love the Kerkers but they are too rich for my blood...
