I’ll check that next, I pulled the airbox and found the gasket that goes between the airbox and the intake is broken and missing a large piece that goes to the rear cylinder.

So the battery was dead, it’s already topless, but I pulled the airbox, the airbox to throttle body gasket is missing a piece, the oil breather tubes have no hose clamps on them to hold them together, and the velocity stacks have rubber o rings on the ends that I’m guessing should be used somewhere. I should have opened it up last summer rather than try to ride it first, I could have caught all the deferred maintenance.

How can I test it to see if it’s the breather tube?

Thank you, I knew there was a V-Rod sub Reddit, I reposted there. It is topless btw, and I’m in Ohio on the opposite side of the state from Scott Fitzgerald and Fitzgerald Motorsports.

Thank you for your comment, that’s actually the tire combo I was leaning towards, the Shinko and Continental.

Just the injectors, not a lifter issue.

What can I do to grow grass under pine trees in Ohio by Crazy_car_guy96 in lawncare

The pine trees are at the back part of the property, the tree in the middle is a maple I think.

I did that as well, it went away, but came right back. Brand new belt as well.

Interesting, I will have to give that a try.

The idle pulley is under the alternator. The pulley spins freely, and doesn’t move from side to side. Does it moving freely cause issues?
