    Knocking / Clunking noise in trans area while rolling in N?

    Fearing that it's a counter shaft bearing... I've already got a motor from my truck torn down in the garage, I really don't need another one. I'll do further diag, but I'm wondering if I could get away with just separating the bottom half of the case while leaving everything else in tact. (motor...

    Knocking / Clunking noise in trans area while rolling in N?

    It was a bad weekend for the XS.. I burnt up my headlight fuse Friday night, which trashed the fuse block itself. My batteryless setup seems to be the culprit for that, so it is what it is. After getting that all squared away, I took it for a spin. Noticed a real strange vibration on...

    I've got uni pods on my 38s and love them. I had cones and it seemed to run pretty good until I switched to foam filters, then it seemed to run really good.

    Internal length of throttle cables too short..

    Hey guys, So I snapped a throttle cable two weeks ago. I ordered what I believed to be the correct cable from mikesxs... The cable housing length was slightly shorter than what was on the bike but it seemed useable, except that the the length of the cable was too short, thus not allowing the...

    Looking for a little help diagnosing a no spark issue..

    I'm gonna run wires from the battery on the harley in the garage tomorrow to the pamco system. Is it a bad idea to run leads directly from the battery to the power wire to the pamco? I wasn't sure if the amperage directly off the battery would be too much for the system The voltage...

    Looking for a little help diagnosing a no spark issue..

    I have a capacitor wired into the bike now. If I could mount a battery in the bike and disconnect the PMA I would but it would be really diffcult.

    Looking for a little help diagnosing a no spark issue..

    Thanks for the info Pete, The bike came with the Pamco kit on it so obviously the PO didn't follow your instructions. I'll pull the tank and relocate it to a more suitable spot. The regulator is located fairly close to my coil and it theoretically should be getting ample airflow to cool it...

    Looking for a little help diagnosing a no spark issue..

    I was thinking the same thing, I would think the capacitor would prevent a voltage spike though, no? My grounds are on the engine mounts, where do you suggest relocating them to? I'm gonna see if it kicks tomorrow and if so, I'm gonna ride it to work, which is only 5 miles. If only it...

    Looking for a little help diagnosing a no spark issue..

    Hey guys, So I went out for a ride last night, the bike started second kick and ran fine. I made it about ten miles from home, made a left turn, got on it and the bike just flat out died after I shifted into 3rd. I pulled over to the side of the road and kicked and kicked and kicked but it...
