So if anyone has seen my last post(s) about my wiring harness being melted, I found out it was my R/R and I hardwired it to the harness. I did buy a cheap one off of amazon (not my finest moment) and it seem’s like it’s been doing fine. Now to the real issue. After changing the R/R I rode it for...

I have a vn750 2004 that has trouble starting with only the battery, it has a brand new 14amps battery, but when i try to start it, it sounds like the battery is discharged, but the battery shows 13.4v on off position, 13v in the on position, and it drops to 12 when i hit the start button, but...

Had some trouble with my Vulcan today. I will try to paint the picture. Got a new battery last year. Have had it on the tender a couple of times this winter, but it had not been on one for a couple of weeks. Yesterday it started with the choke on. I rode about 20 minutes and parked it. Started...

My VN750 isn’t starting up as smoothly as it had. It’s getting harder and harder and today I couldn’t start it at all; drained the battery before it would start. What’s a good checklist of things I can start troubleshooting?

Hi all! I'm new here, and in mid-September I bought a 2002 VN750 with 6300 miles on it. Vance and Haines exhaust is the only mod. I'm the third owner. I bought the bike from a pastor (a friend of an acquaintance who I can reasonably trust), and this is what I know about the bike's history: It...

Hey folks, My ‘86 came without a battery strap. eBay and Amazon have tons of generic straps. Does anyone bought one of these and it work or do you know a place to locate OEM? Thanks in advance.

Hi All, I recently earned my motorcycle license and bought my first motorcycle, a 1993 vn750 with 24000 km’s on it. im pretty happy with it, the size is perfect for me and perfect for highway use to work and fun rides in the weekends. But I noticed one tiny issue: Every time I want to start the...

Gents, Here's the issue. bought the bike and have been dealing with it dying after 2 miles when test driving it. Took it out to test her and she made it one lap (3/4mile) so I left her running once I got back and checked the battery she was sitting at 13.5v. Went for another lap(3/4mile) and...

I got mine vn750 over half a year ago but was already experiencing problems with the battery back then. Hadn't really looked at it until today I decided to do some tests. I also did replace the battery since then but same result. Testing at the battery would only give ~12-12.3 dc even at 5k...

Put a new batt. in after noticing the maintainer seemed to be charging more than most winters. The batt. was bought in 12 so that seemed normal. Rode the bike about 30 miles, after not being on charger for a week or so(new batt) and it died on me and had to be trailered home. Recharged batt and...

Hey Brothers. My 750 has been annoying me for the past 2 months with an electrical problem. I'll be riding around fine, when all of a sudden my tachometer needle starts bouncing wildly and I'll start losing power. Either the bike will continue working normally, or it will shut off. Sometime I...

I have a 96 vulcan 750 and the battery runs down after about 300 - 400 miles. The auto parts store tester says the voltage regulator failed, and the technician suggested that may mean the whole alternator needs to be replaced. I looked in my manual, and that looks like way too involved of a...

Hello, I bought a used vn500 '07 with 11k miles 6 months ago, fixed up everything two detailed inspections discovered, changed the battery and an hour ago i drove to the diner with choke on, as i turned off the bike and left with the keys after 5 yards, a huge explosion was heard, i'd say louder...

Hello, first off thank you to everyone who helps me solve this problem. I will describe the bike, then the issue and everything I know and have checked. The bike is a 94 and the previous owner had done electrical work on it to make it minimalistic. To start the bike one flips two switches and...

Has anyone installed an extra battery to power Boss MC500 to avoid stator issues?

my 86 vn750 will not rev up in neutral, it idles fine but when i give it a little roll on it sputters and misses. put it in gear and all is well. I dont get it. some emissions parts have been removed by previous owner. Also the battery will not charge, when running all electrical functions seen...

I am new to the forms but have been reading here for a while. I have a 93' 750 and have only had it for about a month. It is my first bike and I am a newish rider. My dad has a 00' 750 and from riding his I fell in love with the VN750s. I rode it for a few days and had no problems out of it...

So this is new. The bike starts right up beautifully when i first get on it. If I ride ten minutes and turn it off, it doesn't want top start again until I let it sit for about ten minutes. Then the starter weakly turns things over but very weakly it feels like. Once it sits then it's back...

I have read many threads on here and have not found what I am looking for. I put a brand new stator in the bike and it burnt up the rectifier. I put in a brand new rectifier and now it is all functioning properly and the battery still will not charge. I spent extra money on a new gel no...

Brand new to riding (besides the one time when I ran over a shrub on an isty bitsy tiny dirt bike when I was 6). Wanted something with a bit of nostalgia so I bought a beautiful 86. Original paint, not a scratch and looks GREAT! However, the one thing I have noticed not working is the...
