Hello there

[Lister]

What's going on guys? Just thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Dan, I'm 19 and live in Topeka Kansas. I own a 1995 Vulcan 750. It's my first Still learning the ropes. I love it.

I would upload a picture, but my computer is being a pain. I will have to upload one later.

But anyways, that's me.

That would be awesome, but with my work schedule I don't know if I could do that right now. But I for sure want to in the future. But for now, I'll just be hanging around here.

You got that right haha. I love my bike. But I have a pretty embarrassing story about it...

The day I bought it, my buddy and I and his wife, had to drive about 45 minutes to an hour south of Topeka to get to it. We just wanted to take it for a spin. Well it 'seemed' to be running sound when my buddy tested it, so we made the deal. Paid for it in cash and we were on our way.

Well we made a stop at the local gas station. We were getting spooked because we saw some pretty mean clouds coming our way. My buddy was the one that road it, (because I didn't know quite how yet...).

Well about 5 minutes on the road it dies...multiple times. Acting like it wasn't getting gas. So we called the guy we just bought it from. He pretty much said, 'well you bought it I don't know what to tell you' and left us hanging in the middle of no where, on the side of a 2 lane high way with a storm coming our way...

Long story kinda short, we had to tow it back...which wasn't as expensive as I thought it'd be. And we finally got to work on it about 2 weeks of owning it, (finally had enough money to fix it.)

It was the petcock...Still have no idea why they had to name it that... But we ordered a new one, and she ran pretty after that. Running good ever sence

So yes... Just like everyone says...I won't forget my first bike. It was a pain, but I still love it.

welcome to the forum, lots of good people here.

Thanks.

Oh and finally got a picture.

This was at the gas station, shortly after buying it. Before the big embarrassing mess...

Re: Hello there

Welcome to the forum Dan. It's always good to see younger blood on here.

She's a pretty one. My friend has an 800 Classic but always lusted after a 750. (The wife wanted to ride behind and preferred the 800).

That's a great choice for your first bike. Did you take the MSF course?

Re: Hello there

There is another reason the 750 and many bikes seem like they are not getting fuel. It is called POOGS (phantom out of gas syndrome). It is cause by the vent in your tank being plugged. On the 750 it is under the gas cap. Use comressed air and carb cleaner to clean the tube (cover tank with a rag) and remove the cap (tape the large hole so not to drop the screws or O-rings into the tank) the tube runs from the bottom of the tank and down under the bike in front of the battery box. Also using the red tube on a can of carb cleaner spray into each hole on the underside of the cap. Cleaner should spray out of each hole. This will keep the venting system clean and good to do periodically.
