I have a stock '99 Carbon with 15k miles. It starts, runs and idles fine, but whenever I park it up there is a strong smell of petrol from around the dummy tank area when I get back. There is no sign of any leaks, but every time I start it up the fuel pump runs for a second even after a...

I attended a lecture at college today given by an 86 y.o man. His story is one of amazing perseverance, overcoming unbelievable obstacles, suffering for years, and an eventual triumph of will. His name is Norman Frajman. Mr. Frajman was born in Warsaw Poland, and was 10 years old when the...

Hey guys...so I noticed that when I start the bike and let it idle, I smell gas from the exhaust (stock exhaust). The situation is so bad that if I stand facing the rear of the bike my clothes smell like gasoline! The bike has no problems starting, sometimes on the first or second tries. The...

I see you guys are getting 100+ miles per tankful of gas. My low light goes on @ 79-82 miles. I haven't pushed it to see how far I can go after that but it seems not far. I've leaned it out to just over 1 turn out (extremely lean by what I read here) and still I am getting a very strong exhaust...

Bought a 06 Vmax beginning of this year. Carbs were gummed up bad. Had Joe at Boxenstopp clean and adj carbs (4/1 Kerker pipe). Have not gotten over 30 mpg in town or on road. Is this normal? 2nd issue. After riding the bike for 45 minutes it suddenly started running aweful. Felt like 50%...

I took these around 2pm at the east end of Big Bend Park on the Rio Grande. The potential immigrants were sitting in the shade on the opposite side of the river. I think the canoe is a ferry? Seriously tho' I was talking to a girl from Chzeckloslavokia (sp? who the **** can spell...
