Just moved from a Honda Goldwing GL1800. Prior to that I was on a 2006 Yamaha Roadstar. New ride is a 99 Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad. Thus far I'm loving the bike, although it's idling quite a bit too high with lots of popping / backfire on deceleration. The bike came with a Kuryakyn Hypercharger as well as a set of Vance and Hines pipes. I suspect the PO didn't rejet/calibrate the carbeurators to handle in the increase in air / exhaust flow.
I haven't messed with adjusting and syncing carbs since my old Yamaha XS750 Special. are there any difficulties on this particular bike? (I ask because I had to bleed the clutch and discovered the joy of removing the left side cover for what should be have been a 10 minute job)
I'm also only getting close to 100 miles on a tank of gas, however when I fill it up it's only taking 2-3 gallons. Any suggestions?
Please let me know if I need to move a portion of this to a different forum
Anyway, here's a pic of Shadowfax as it stands now. Need to track down either an original windshield (po didn't have it) or invest in a bathing style fairing
Thanks!
