    Electrical issue preventing bike from starting!!

    It was a brown connector that seemed to go to the rear brake. Lost it somewhere close to the rear brake, very difficult to trace cables because of the small, cramped area. Opened it, sprayed some contact cleaner and plugged it in, and it started behaving normally. Kill switch is ok, it...

    Electrical issue preventing bike from starting!!

    Greetings, My cycle has been having a problem I believe to be electrical. When I turn the key in the ignition to the on position, only the neutral light comes on, the fuel pump doesn't prime or make the usual 3-4 sec whirring noise. When I try to start it, the engine cranks but doesn't start...

    Vacuum Gauge - Suggestions?

    I got this from Amazon: Emgo Carburetor Synchronizer... Has adjustment screws on the restrictors to dampen the movement of the needle when hooked up to the engine.

    What comes with different exhausts?

    I have the two brothers, the sound is awesome... It comes with FE kit but no DB killer inserts, those are purchased separately. When I was "researching" I narrowed my options to 2 brothers $ Leo Vince. I decided on the 2 brothers because of the sound and the looks. I saw a Ducati Multistrada...

    Spark Plug Preference?

    I changed mine out last year and replaced them with NGK (3521) CR9EIX Iridium IX Spark Plugs. No problems so far... as to mileage or performance, I'd say more or less the same. I bought them for their supposed longevity.

    Sidi Apex Lei Boots Review

    The Sidi apex boots for men looks very similar to this apart from the silver portion in front. They are great boots for riding but very stiff when new!!!!

    Air filter K&N vs. OEM

    This is really an eye opener... AC Delco seems to be the way forward... I use AC Delco brake pads for my car and they're pretty good and durable... maybe I start using their air filters...

    Check engine light at high RPMs

    I got home yesterday and replaced the rectifier/regulator with OEM RR, changed out the fuel pump assy to fix the blinking gauge issue and everything is ok now, no check engine lights at 7k RPMs, fuel gauge is no longer blinking and my smile has been on for some hours now!!:D Thanks to all...

    Getting rid of these exhaust pipe stains?

    I glued my fenda extenda on with DC3145 sealant and it has helped prevent mud from getting on the radiator fins... Now the mud goes on the headers... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Check engine light at high RPMs

    I did the test at the battery and still got 13-14v at idle and once I roll on the throttle the voltage increases to 15-16v depending on the RPMs (I didn't go too high too long for fear of frying something). Once I roll on the throttle, it comes on before it gets to 4k RPMs the CEL light comes on...

    Check engine light at high RPMs

    Wow, thanks... I was worried when I saw the 18v at high RPMs... I've parked the bike since Thursday, I just started it this morning to do this test... I'm waiting for the oem rectifier to get here and then I'll swap it out. Unfortunately, I'm going offshore next week and won't be back for a...

    Check engine light at high RPMs

    Hi, I used the multimeter to test the voltage across the connector for the fuel gauge and the fuel pump (With the key in the on position but the engine off), I got 11.5-12v on the multimeter for the fuel gauge and then connected to the fuel pump connector and turned the key to the off position...
