1600 Vulcan Classic Problems, I have the FI light come on and then shuts off my bike. I keep getting this all the time. And I am able to reset it but it comes back. Any help??

Phatboy · 07-02-2005

If its new get it back to the dealer for warrenty work.

I hope you are kidding. That thing is not pretty. How about some more pretty Harley Pix?

Phatboy · 07-18-2005

Kids in the neighborhood have minibikes. I cannot stop laughing every time I see one of those things. Literally I laugh at them until they are out of sight and then still can't stop =) I don't *really* want a minibike, but I think it is cool that people want to ride these little 50cc things. Hey at least it's a step in the right direction =P

sorry i am late to this, i just wanted to agree. man, i always used to give HD the fact that their bikes looked real good and had a nice fit and finish, but next to that classic there is no comparison. i am really impressed with the lines of the classic and the general overall look, especially compared to the HD.

I have recently purchased a 2005 Vulcan 2000 cc and the motor has a chripping noise around 80km/hr and up. Just wanted to know if that is unusual or common?

tnhunter · 07-25-2005

welcome Phillip. I know what the posty says but you will have better luck putting this in the cruiser section. Several guys in there have the v2k. I do not but thought I should let you know where the guys were that do.

Phatboy · 07-25-2005

Why get the V2k when you could have this

Not unusual. Here's a recent thread about it.

After 11451 blissful miles on my 98 Classic, I'm experiencing technical difficulties with the Battery not charging at all, AND at the same time I lost all power to the headlight, even the blue (bright)light on the dash console quit working too. Yes fuse is fine, bulb is fine, and yes I tracked the wiring for a short, neither of which was found. I even disassembled the ignition switch but no problem found there either. Anybody ever hear of this as a common problem to the Vulcan 1500 Classic?

Phatboy · 07-29-2005

How old is the battery?

Unfortunately not mamy people follow this thread so I'd recommend asking here:

i agree with Phatboy, i would post it in the Mechanics section, but have you taken a voltage reading on the battery ? with load and without ? maybe you have a charging problem and the battery is down to a voltage that just won't support everything. how's she start ? just some things to think about.

I just purchased a '03' 1500 mean streak. I want to add saddlebags using Easy Brackets. I was told I would need to get a "billet fender strut" that changed the 6mm bolts to 8mm. I have looked around and found an aluminum bracket number K53020-323 the replaces the stock part. Has anyone used these mounts and can tell me if this is the part I need? Thanks for the help

first off, welcome to the forum. second, i am not sure how many MS riders check this thread. it might be a good idea to start your own thread in the cruiser section, as we have a lot of MS riders and i am sure they will try to help you out as much as they can.

Meanieinia · 08-02-2005

That sounds like a good idea. Now all I need is info on how I start my own thread. I'm very new at this and because of that, I stumble around a lot. Never mind, I think I "stumbled" on to the answer
