    I have a 2006 VTX1300 and it has been sitting for a WHILE. I pulled the carb and cleaned really well and drained/washed tank... also cleaned disgusting petcock. With this all complete, I loaded new gas and tried to fire up. After a few attempts, it is running. The issue is that there is a...

    2004 vtx1300r, 22k miles. I'm no mechanic but can youtube pretty well and enjoy doing it. Bike had a hard time starting and would not start about half the time and backfire when it was running. My frustration lead to the bike sitting in the garage for the past 4 years. I recently changed the...

    Cross posted question... I know there are several posts about this issue but I could not find any with my issue. First off, I have to keep about half choke when I'm riding so the engine doesn't cut out when I throttle up. Second, when sitting at idle in the driveway, it idles just fine. I took...

    So I've got a 2007 VTX 1300C with HardChrome pipes and stock airbox. Had it rejetted last summer (I believe to 195) and it ran like a top. Still does. Took it on a bunch of rides this summer with no issues. But now, all of a sudden, I'm getting backfires on the slightest deceleration. Shift...

    I have read a lot on the positive side of the pair mod. However has anyone experienced any negatives with this? Is there anything I should be on the lookout for?

    Hi. I have a 2006 Honda VTX 1300c. I have Bubs Jughugger pipes and a kuryakn hyper charger. I put a new needle in the carb and adjusted the a/f screw when I did these mods. The bike ran fine with the minor crackling / popping that comes with not doing the pair valve removal. I did these...

    I purchased a 03 VTX1300 over the winter. It was running great, though idling a little high. I talked to a mechanic and he recommended I adjust a particular valve. I'm not sure if this is the A/F Valve or not(see below) I adjusted counter clockwise and the idle went down slightly, but it...

    So I got my bike.. Everything was fine on the way home. The guy who had owned it before GUTTED the exhaust. He removed the baffles completely in an effort to make it sound more like a harley. He installed LED's and extra chrome.. I needed to adjust the throttle cable a little tighter because...
  16. *** The Shop ~ I NEED URGENT MOTORCYCLE HELP!! ***
    I put new pipes on my bike, opened the a/f screw 2.5 turns and put a thunder needle on the third rung from the top. First off, do I need to change the jets (I think the bike runs hot and definitely backfires)? Second, how do I open the carb without taking it out (I don't trust myself to take it...
