    SO! I was riding down the road the other day and decided to give it full throttle just for fun. About 20 seconds in, I lost all power as if I wasn't getting any gas (had full tank). I let up and the engine idled fine and worked normally till about 10 mph, then would cut out till I let off the...

    Hello All, I recently purchased a 2006 VTX1300. It has sat for years and didn't run at all when I first got it. I have cleaned out the bottom of the carb (the various jets and the float bowl etc.) and I have now gotten it to turn over and idle as long as the choke is pulled out. At full choke...

    Bought the bike in 2009 with 2400 miles, now have about 19k and kept up with routine maintenance every 4k at reputable dealer (Team Powersports in Garner, NC). *About three years ago drilled out pipes (loved the results!), added K&N filter for extra air flow. *Started getting backfire on...

    I just recently purchased a 2006 vtx1300C. I have put Freedom Performance sharp curve radius exhaust on it but still have stock breather. When riding, it would hesitate when accelerating after having slowed down for a turn. So I bought the factory pro stage 3 jet kit. I have the needle on...

    I have a 2003 VTX 1300S, it has about 3800 miles on it, kurykian hypercharger, and DG Hard Krome pipes. I'm having an issue with rev out under load. Many have said it's a backpressure issue, many have said it's a jetting issue. I'm beyond confused since my last cruiser was fuel injected. I...

    So I ended up finding a thread that was nearly identical to mine as far as problem over at the OA. Bogging Down at Highway Cruising -- Steady Speeds So currently I'm running cobra exhaust, and trying to tune in a Cyclehouse Q5 intake. I had done the pair valve removal previous to this as...

    A little back story...... Two weeks ago I hopped on my bike to go to work. It started up and seemed to be idling very weak. Every time I would twist the throttle, the bike would die. After a couple restarts the bike wouldn't start at all, so I hopped in my Ford Explorer (which died the next...

    got my 07 1300C about 2 months ago with only 4600 miles on it, so it wasn't ridden much to begin with and I'm sure it sat for a while before I got it. A little carb/fuel injector cleaner went a long way in getting it to run better right away. I decided it was to quiet with the stock setup, so...

    Being the genius auto mechanic that I am I tried something very common place on a automobile carburetor when there are running issues. I thought I may have a jet blockage so I tried to choke the carb at wide open throttle. Now the bike won't take anything but a very slow roll on the throttle. If...

    Hye all, purchased my 2007 VTX 1300R Last summer. The guy i bought it from put a Cobra Speedster Exhaust and a HyperCharger air intake and im pretty sure he never had it re-jetted, Especially after last weekend i took an Advanced Rider Course here in PA. I had to ride the whole way there with...

    Please Help - Ok, I have a 05' 1300C with a kuryakyn pro hypercharger and free flowing pipes. I jetted my carb with a dyno jet kit-195 main jet, needle with shim on third indent, and af screw 2 1/2 turns out. I took the bike for a spin and runs great in all gears for first 1/4 of...

    I don't understand... why do I have to adjust the carb when I replace the stock exhaust system? I assume it's because I open the engine up with less back pressure, resulting in more available power, but then the "stock" carb settings make the engine run lean. I've seen references to something...

    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...
  16. Performance Upgrades/Mods
    You may have just purchased a new exhaust and/or air intake and are wondering how you should "tune" the carburetor. First off if you just "fire the bike up" with the new parts installed, THE BIKE WILL RUN. Depending on how "free flowing" the aftermarket parts are that you installed the bike will...
