Bike Talk motorcycle forum

Just got back from Lake George. Wow Americade is different than Laconia. Lots of similarities but different. Just as big in terms of locations for vendors dealers ride demos excetera. Maybe bigger as Laconia bike week seems to be shrinking. Plenty of free parking but theres a one time 10$ fee to access vendor stuff.

Lots of cool stuff to see and all the vendors we talked gave us as much time as needed. Person i went with bought one of those Condor rails that you can put your bike on and roll around the garage. Got it 150$ off original price.

I have a 1993 FLHTC and have been having issues with the carburetor. Last year one of the lifter tappets broke and wiped the cam. My shop replaced all lifters, tappets, pushrods, cam (510V), new/used carb, and rocker covers. Still coughing on me sometimes and difficult to ride slow. While riding this weekend at 65-70 mph highway started coughing and running bad mostly while going down hill (no load).

I am thinking that I need to re-jet it. Took the carb off after this weekends ride and after reading a lot about tuning it found this out. Am I starving? Have Open (punched) Sampson Mufflers and...

History...

1999 Honda CBR1100xx. 90K miles. In 2012, the stator fried. Replaced stator and R/R with new units (MOSFET for R/R over OEM). Stator is hard-wired to R/R (soldered, not crimp connections). Plug to harness from R/R coated with dielectric grease and wrapped in that rubberized tape stuff to shield from water and dirt.

Last week, with only 2,000 miles of use since install, I was on a group ride and on the way home, when I caught the voltmeter spiking upwards to 18v. I wasn't in a position to stop, so I coasted (at idle) for a bit then tried going back into top gear to keep RPMs low. The voltage went back to normal and remained rock-solid the rest of the trip home.

Static testing of the charging system (revving in the garage) showed everything working as it should. On...
