Just picked up a pretty nice Vulcan 1500 (vn1500a10) yesterday. Super pumped about it. Does anyone know of a similar forum to this for those bikes? Or can I stay here....lol.

Please define "cold" in Texas terms for those of us north of you. Many of our more northern members have put their rides in storage already. I am not busting chops as I believe cold and/or hot are relative terms for everyone. Our concept of hot may be your average temp during the spring.

Nice bike!
And ur welcome to stay!

And its about -4 last night here in Minnesota! Thats not cold, its f'n freezing.
Wait til we get to the -20s...then we just say its frozen.
Of course our summers up here are great..i think we hit 100 twice..but mostly it was 80-90..and of course we have about 11000 beautiful lakes and tons of gorgeous roads and scenery to ride.

That's kind of cold just ain't right!

Well, got the battery charged and the clutch fixed. The PO put drag bars on it and it causes the clutch master cylinder to leak a little. Just needed a fluid top off...it was really low!

Once the ice and snow are clear, I'll probably run it around the block! It sounds awesome in the garage!

The bike does leak some oil. Talked to the PO today about it. It seems to be a relatively recent problem...just needs a "tune up" as he says. He said it was leaking at a oil return pipe. Shouldn't be a big deal, but will probably get it checked out!

I'm not even sure what he refers to as an "oil recycle" hose. Maybe someone can enlighten. I'm seeing a leak at the connection of rear exhaust header to motor. My guess is bad o ring on spark plug tubes...we will see. I don seem to see any oil comin down off the top end of the engine. Then again, I haven't spent a lot of time looking yet.
