What did you do to your Vmax today?

[gamorg02]

If a bike sits for awhile, sometimes just overnight, the clutch plates will stick together making it very difficult to 'bump start.'

Might be time for an Odyssey PC680, Dave. :biglaugh:

agreed.

i always leave mine in gear when parked as well unless its on the center stand.

Hows the flow? I have Cobras and they suck, but they look / sound great. I've really been eyeballing that UFO system.

[slowpoke]

finished up my scoops this morning. still have the side covers and a few other things to do....

 

[4gasem]

Scoops look good!

I picked up my faux cover from the painter today... It has quite a bit of polishing to be done yet but that's because it's VERY hard for them to hold it while they try to polish it which I am OK with. I think a bit of wet sanding with some 3000 grit and some good polishing with my Adams products will make it look like exactly how I want...

The rad side cover came out pretty good but there were a few drips that they had so they are reworking it and should have it done by Friday or so... COO is shipping out my custom engine guards on Friday or Monday so I should be ready to ride pretty soon...

Cheers,
Chris

I have Dale walkers on mine and I like them not too loud but a deep tone hot rod sound but , the only exhaust that I would trade them for is the quad zilla system.
Mine are intimmidating but I love that sound of the quadzilla.
My neighbors know when I`m comming and marvel at the bike but I want them to plug their ears and marvel:biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh:.

I do but, It acts like the brakes are on but, when it`s warm it rolls easily.
I can push start it when it`s warm with no problems.

fair enough. just bustin ur balls too man...

i had a rebel until this spring, any temp over say 60? or when the bike was warmed up u could PUSH start it. by push starting i mean keep your feet where they were and just give the bike a hefty push and that'd be enough for ti to turn over. that thing would start no matter what ya did to it

 

[RagingMain]

Pulled the engine out today :bang head:
Will be do a thread when I get back from my daughter's graduation on how to pull the engine, split the case and do a trannyectomy.
Cheers

I don't know how much we can help at this point, you may just have a permament case of modificationitis.
This is a chronic disease that infects the host to the soul. But there is a way to slow the spread of the infection and maybe even have it go into remission. It is a drastic treatment program and while not painfull in the initial stages, it breaks down even the strongest man. While the cure may seem radical at first, many will succumb to the powerful medicine known just as the "cure".
Now, I'm sure there are many of you that at one time happily played with the mod monkey, even embraced him but sooner or later, due to no fault of your own, the monkey was sent packing by the "cure". I know you know who you are, and you hold no pity for '02Moneypit's current predicament. You know what his cure is...let him know, but do it easy, for he knows not of what I speak of!:rofl_200::rofl_200:

Thanks red old buddy i need all the help i can get,lol.

 

[gamorg02]

synch'd the carbs. weren't bad at all. def feels a little more responsy riding it tho...

changed the final drive oil. it was BLACk and only 3400 miles too!

changed the engine oil. man i cannot get any more than around 3.4 quarts with a filter on my changes. that right there put me right at about the top line. don't like going any further b/c then i deal with it out the airbox. took her out for a ride for about 20 miles and couldn't get the idle oil pressure down under 8/9 psi. could have been the colder night (60?) and no significant highway miles too though...
