2012 1700 classic vulcan exhaust

Had changed exhaust on old bike 1300 vtx honda but was carb. Not sure what all I should have and do for the change on this bike. Talk of some fuel sensor thats like over $200 more buck and re-jet a must. Cant find much else on net, cause everything a money game anymore

The VTX 1800 is fuel injected which requires the additional sensors (oxygen, throttle position, etc). However the VTX 1300 is carbureted, which takes the sensors out of the equation. If you are changing the exhaust with a:
Slip on-muffler

  • remove old mufflers, and slip on new ones
  • could add a better air filter, and you get a better sound, minimal power gain
Full Exhaust System
  • Remove old pipes from the cylinder heads (i.e. jugs) and use a rag to wipe off the seat and block the opening.
  • once both pipes have been pulled from the jugs, prep your new pipes with windex. Clean them well, finger oil and other gunk can cause bluing spots
  • Install the pipes, torque them in place, re-clean the pipes and use a chrome polish.
  • Purchase carburetor jetting kit, and either take it to a shop to do it, or you do it. If you have never re-jetted a carburetor before, I suggest you go to a reputable shop and get it done.
  • With the carb completed, a new air filter (high flow K&N is what I use - I have gone through the same exhaust system replacement procedure on my sled)
If you replace the exhaust without completing the carb/air cleaner, there is a very high probability that you will get backfires every time you ride. This will happen especially on deceleration, and will eventually blow out your valve seat, causing the engine to feel weak due to lost compression.

Won't start backfires truew carb was sank but got it running got home now nothing

Could be a few different issues - backfiring through the carb - are you sure that your exhaust has all the water out of it? If you check that - and pull the bowl off the carb and make sure you're float is not stuck. If your float sticks one of the symptoms is backfiring through the carb/sending fuel into your airbox versus drawing into the engine. If you can let me know how those 2 things are and whether it

I have a 04 Trx 250 recon. I get into high rpm and the motor cuts out and it sounds like someone puts a silencer over the exhaust. I've had carb cleaned. I'm seriously stumped on this.

Male sure the air intake tract is clear and the filter is CLEAN... Make sure you have the correct spark plug.. make sure its a "R" plug..(resistor) and gapped at .032" - .035". Make sure the float level is correct.

Why is my bike backfiring?

a back fire on a bike is usually the cause of timing being out or damaged carburettor ( too much petrol going through ) in the case of the carb you can adust the air screw to see if that helps ( small screw in the side of the carb ) screw it right in and then bring it out 1 and a half turns ,this will get you very close to the right mixture. in the case of timing being out you will need to take the fly wheel off and adjust the stator plate ( turn it to the timing marks ) as a rule its usually . back fire through the exhaust is timing,back fire through the carb is fuel mixture. if you rev it when it starts and it pops through the exhaust the problem is within the fly wheel . if it pops through the carb the problem is with mixture.

I have a 2012 Vulcan 1700 and just bought some new pipes, Cobra speedsters. What else do I need to do this job because I read about some kind of fuel / o2 sensor needed but not sure about the whole thing....

if the o2 sensor is still in the pipes , it is ok
if not have the adaptor fitted to the pipes and it will be ok
the sensor reports the gas composition to the ECM to adjust the air/fuel mixture
if the new pipes are pollution control compliant the adaptor should be already there
if they are not then you are achieving nothing with the different pipes but are actually decreasing fuel economy

My 2000 honda rancher has recently started to die after riding a few miles. It acts like the fuel stops getting through. It starts to stutter and then just dies and won't start again.. Needless to say it...

that is just a hand primer for when you run out of fuel. you may need to change the fuel filter. and clean out the fuel chamber and veins in the carb. if filter is old 2 years then it should be changed.

HONDA FORMAN ES 1999Bike runs well except for an occasional miss at idle . when the bike is warm at idle 2 or 3 time a minute it will miss. Sounds like firing at the wrong time. Get a sound like pinging ....

probably you have some worn parts in the carb.a rebuild kit would likely help.befofore you do that,you might try adjusting the air screw on the carb and check for air leaks where the carb connects to the cylinder head.

New ATV. Ran 1 hour. Sitting for 6 months. Changed gas - but is popping back through carb

sounds like the gas that was left in the carb. has turned bad and clogged the jets. the only right way to fix it is to pull the carb off the bike and take the bottom bowl off. once done you can take some carb. cleaner and spray out all the jets and crevices inside the carb. hopefully this fixes your problem. if not then you will need to pull the carb. completely apart and give it a good soaking. once you have soaked it for an hour or so take some compressed air and blow out any holes. be sure to blow it out good. once done put the carb. back together and give it a shot. this should fix it right up for ya.
