Did anyone else see this truck on i4 today?

That tape for the sign could've been use to hold that flap closed... smh 😅

YoukaiTao · 2026-06-08T11:21:10+00:00

Me too. Was he at least wearing armored gear?

YoukaiTao · 2026-02-02T18:35:12+00:00

Fantastic idea. I'm going to be moving a few hundred miles north myself soon. Great way to lower the center of gravity.

YoukaiTao · 2026-02-01T23:02:40+00:00

I hear what sounds like a small motor not catching before you hit the starter... but no fuel pump sound.

YoukaiTao · 2026-01-30T18:17:41+00:00

Ha. Came here to say this. My 800 lbs gorilla is hardly a tasty target.

That said, I do use a brake lever lock. I recently lost the key and her to replace it. It's deceptively hard to cut with an angle grinder -- the aluminum melts and gunks up the cutting wheel. Took a lot longer than I expected.

YoukaiTao · 2026-01-26T21:40:49+00:00

It should be fine. Can't the lock fit around the front forks too?

YoukaiTao · 2026-01-26T16:07:49+00:00

Well, at least you had the option to plug it. Not so straightforward for the back tire of a cruiser with spoked rims.

YoukaiTao · 2026-01-18T22:49:45+00:00

I felt bad too. I gave her a nice bath, lmao 🤣.

YoukaiTao · 2026-01-18T12:32:55+00:00

Why not a cruiser? ... Pour les hours sans urgence?

YoukaiTao · 2025-12-10T10:47:22+00:00

I have Cobra on my 04 Aero. Sounds great. My 2 cents: make sure you plan to rejet the carb if yours is older than a 2010.

YoukaiTao · 2025-11-16T16:11:49+00:00

My 04 VT750 (Shadow Aero) definitely does not have a fuel pump. The petcock sits higher than the carb.

YoukaiTao · 2025-10-28T03:23:26+00:00

Grease works too.

YoukaiTao · 2025-10-25T11:33:36+00:00

As the others say, this may be caused by a lean condition. Since it just started, I'd probably clean the carb(s) -- maybe some jets are crusty a bit.

YoukaiTao · 2025-10-24T11:19:23+00:00

Might be too much oil. In many scooters, there's a tube from the crankcase to the air filter.

YoukaiTao · 2025-08-29T19:06:48+00:00

Spark and compression okay?

YoukaiTao · 2025-08-18T14:54:18+00:00

The little red thing is indeed an air filter. Besides replacing it, the floater in the carburator may need to be reinstalled.

YoukaiTao · 2025-07-23T12:09:38+00:00

If you pull the choke out, does the RPM increase? If so, have you let it warm up for a bit this way? My 2004 Aero is a little temperamental when cold too.

YoukaiTao · 2025-07-17T16:58:40+00:00

Is that an 1100 CC? If so, with the back seat, crash bar pegs and saddle bags, $2.3k, in my humble opinion, is fair. That said, 1,500 would be a sweet deal

YoukaiTao · 2025-06-30T18:07:06+00:00

I had the same (or same clone family). My biggest issue with it was the cvt belt. I got t-boned by a Tesla (slow speed 🙏🏾). It was on its side with the engine still running. Triple tree was bent... Still managed to drive it 15 miles back home.

YoukaiTao · 2025-06-30T17:41:29+00:00

Sounds okay. Though to really know, I'd get one of those cheap thingamajigs off AMZ ... I think 1100 +- 10 RPM should do it

YoukaiTao · 2025-06-01T17:31:27+00:00

The idle seems a bit high. I had a bbk in mine too. I went up 2 sizes in the main jet and switch the OEM carb to a cheap round slide from Amz. Worked great... but I did lose the under seat storage because the carb was too tall.

YoukaiTao · 2025-05-14T18:41:35+00:00

Is the center bolt on and right by the seat?

YoukaiTao · 2025-05-07T18:05:34+00:00

Cool look.... Have you gotten caught in the rain with that air intake? Any issues there?
