draining

Hello all, I am having an issue where something seems to be killing my battery while my 85 vmax is off. It also seems to not be charging while running. My initial guess is the R/R for the charging issue. Haven't had time to go through the test chart and verify it. But just looking to see if...

Hi guys, have any of you ever seen a battery drain as soon as you take the tender off of it? The reason I ask is that I am having some sort of issue going on where I HAVE to leave the bike on a battery tender. Today I pulled the tender off and measured volts at 14.3 after it sat for a few...

Im prepping for the winter. i usually just fill the tank and add stable, but since i've been reading about how the ethanol in gasoline wears out carb seals, i think id rather drain the carbs, but i dont know how. should i attempt it or should i just stick to my tradition?

What is the best way to drain the carbs? I have a problem with fuel coming out of the vent lines (2002 VMAX with 3998 miles). I believe I am only having a problem with one of the carbs. The one on the left rear side (while sitting on the bike). If anyone can help with this problem it would be...
