Headlights go dim when try
The headlight is supposed to turn off when you push the starter button. If you push the starter button and the solenoid clicks, the button is good. If there is no power going to the solenoid you can try disassembling and cleaning the button. Take
a wire and jump the two posts on the solenoid or touch the two cables
together. If your starter works, then you need a new solenoid. If you
hold the starter button and tap on the starter with a plastic hammer and
the starter works you need new starter brushes. Anything else wrong
with the starter and you need to replace the starter assembly , unless the
manufacturer sells replacement parts so you can repair the starter. most manufacturers only sell replacement starter brushes.
2000 vtx 1800r running rich
Have you changed the oil lately? If there is to much oil in the motor the bike will push oil up into the airbox and foul the air filter out. This will cause the bike to run rich. check the oil level and then drain any excess out to the proper level. You will need to clean or replace the air filter in order to make the bike run well.
