I was riding along on my 1996 Vulcan. Suddenly it behaved like I had hit the kill switch or tuned the key off. I pow pow powed like I was push starting it with the key off. When I tried to restart, nothing. No "dash lights" or headlight. Assuming it was a dead battery I took it home to charge...

I need help with my 2004 Vulcan 750, I was changing out the front headlight bulb for a new one that shines brighter on my bike and I went to turn the bike on and it wouldn’t start I thought it might have been the start button or the kill switch so I messed with them for a while but it wasn’t...

Hey guys, in need of some help asap, while I was out on my ride today I had no problems till heading home, randomly one of the cylinders stopped firing, it helped a little when i shifted down but after a min or two of riding it cleaned up. any ideas of what could be wrong? my guess is there is...

Hey guys, I'm a new rider, a new Vulcan owner, and obviously new to the forum. My 93 Vulcan is my first bike. It runs great...for the most part. The only trick is starting. When you turn the key on you can't just push the starter. You need to hold the starter button and then wiggle the key...

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...

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...

Hey everyone, I'm wanting to do a keyless ignition on my vulcan, but I don't know what approach to take. Should I buy one of those RFID switch kits or what? I'm not a complete newb with electronics modding but I don't want to end up opening a can of worms either.

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...

Greetings, I'm a newbie, so please forgive any lapses in comity. Anyway, trying to get my '89 VN750 back on the road. It was running fine, until I put it in the garage while a two week spate of rain kept me off the road. When the weather broke, it wouldn't crank over. Exactly like what a dead...

I am somewhat new to a Vulcan. I am helping my friend who bought a 92 Vulcan 750 a couple of years ago and was always having problems with it until it simply would not start any more. We researched the problem and found it was not getting enough juice to keep running and determined the Stator...

Hey Yall! I am planning on relocating my ignition switch to the right hand side of the battery box cover and am looking into aftermarket ignition switches. After looking at my bike I noticed that there is something like 6 wires coming out of it versus the 3 wires that are found on most...

hey everyone, just installed the mosfet rr and did the tuxedo stator mod(with the help of gcextreme, jack fleming and tim parrot!)...everything went pretty smoothly and got it all back together...pretty straightforward and highly recommended! but now have an starting issue... the bike will...

Hello, I have a problem with a '94 VN750 that I have had just a year. At the end of last season it started exhibiting this problem, and it continues this year. I am relatively new to bikes so I could really use some advice in figuring out where to go with this: The bike will start just fine...

Im about to put my pickup coils back into my cover, but I forgot to mark which one was where when I removed. Does it matter or can they go in either place? Is there anything I should pay attention to when screwing them in, or do the screws automatically place them with the proper clearance...

Hello, This is my first post on VN750.com but I have been reading a lot recently on the forums. I recently bought a 1993 Vulcan 750 with around 18k miles. When I went the look at it the guy started it up with relatively no trouble. Took a couple seconds but it fire up. I took it for a ride and...

First let me start by saying this is my first vulcan ,found it in a Harley owners garage it came with a clean title and 33k miles on it ,i am now the owner and only paid. 350$ ....the problem.the bike gets spark if one coil is hooked up.but if i hook both coils up there's nothing to either coil...

Okay,first let me start with the problem.the bike gets spark if one coil is hooked up.but if i hook both coils up there's nothing. I've tested both coils and they both work. Pickup coils work because if they were bad i wouldn't get any spark at all....right? The only other thing is.....the cdi...

Just picked up a 1995 750 vulcan, went out for a ride and when crusin at 65 the tack dropped to 0 rpm and engine died. Pulled over to the side of the road, waited a few minuets and re-started bike no problem, but it did the same thing after just getting rolling again. Re-started again after...

Hi there, So I current have a problem with my bike where the rear cylinder will not fire. I did a simple spark test and found that both plugs on the rear cylinder are not sparking though the front works fine. Additionally if the spark plugs are swapped and put on the wires from the front they...
