    Setting shift segment (bike thinks 1st is 3rd gear)

    Long story short, I made a few mistakes while putting in a new clutch (with DD mod) and upgrading the shift segment. The first mistake was I forgot to push the shift rod all the way to the left before tightening the nut on the shifter. I went for a test ride, shifted to 2nd, then shifted...

    Shift light setting

    Installed a harlan shift light a couple weeks ago. I set it for 8800. What are you guys setting yours at? How far past redline will it start hurting the bike? Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

    Stock Canadian needle clip setting

    Does anyone know the stock Canadian needle clip setting? I'm at sea level. I get a stumble cruising at 45000-5000 rpm. When I get on the throttle it goes away untill I start cruising again. I think it is running rich. I have stock modified exhaust.

    "P" setting

    So this might be a dumb question but I just notices a P on my ignition switch and was wondering what it's for/denotes. I haven't been able to get my key to go over to the P no matter which way I have the handle bars or if I push down on the key. I'm hoping that its some extra security in case...

    Setting up the RPM Gauge

    http://www.digital-speedos.co.uk/setting-up-rpm-guide-289-p.asp The link above describes how to install the RPM gauge. To my knowledge I have all my wires set up correctly. Can someone explain what exactly "HT Lead" means? I have been told I need to wrap the wire around the coil wire. So...

    Pilot Screw Setting

    I have a 2003 VMAX and just cleaned the CARBs. I noticed that all four pilot screws were screwed all the way in. When I looked at the service manual it said they were "Preset". I thought that it was odd that they would all 4 be "preset" to all the way in, I am used to them being backed out 1-3...

    Float setting gauge

    I got a little fed up with trying to use calipers on the rounded surfaces of the float chamber and float itself so I snipped this little deal out from the plastic cap of a vitamin bottle. There are probly several ways to fab this thing but I started with a carb that was already adjusted and...

    At cold bike idles at ideal setting (getting 14V) however after warmed up it seems to drop slightly to 900ish (13 V) and I have to give a little gas to get it back to 1000RPM. What is the cause of the drop? Solutions?
