    Has anyone heard of (I'm sure many have), or done the Scar Mod on your X? If so, how much of a difference did it make? I was searching for instructions and reviews and found some vague answers. I did find this video and it helped a lot, but I'm wondering if this is all I would need to do, or is...

    So today was a big day for my bike, she recieved three modifications all at once. I know doing all three is not recommended at once, but I figred I would take my time and do everything that needed to be done. Seat and Tank removal was a breeze, a small flat top screw driver is perfect for...

    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...

    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...
