Awesome light output. Not a knock-off LED lamp. Single lamp, NOT a pair. Came off a Jeep setup, that used an EMC adapter. I did not need on VStar and Documentation states anti flicker is built-in. Can hook up a battery pack to test both low and high beams. Google shows installs on Harley and...

Dealers often do not do much to bikes they get in bulk or from a trade-in. Have the injectors cleaned, dump fuel and do an oil change(if not done already). Get the dealer to do it. Short rides don't allow the throttle to open fully and old gas or sediment can clog injectors. Start with the...

Will do

I don't think loud pipes is a 100% solution. nor is a horn. For a horn to "work" you have to see the conflict and then react. While a loud pipe will deter conflicts you may not even be aware of. ie the other driver heard you and slowed, thus the ride would have no indication that a conflict was...

It is exactly like this. I have loud pipes, as my neighbor politely pointed out when his windows shook the first morning start. But I am aware when riding in residential areas, early morning or late at night. I like my pipes and I do notice a difference in traffic. No issues since that first...

Plugs are new, but not sure about a strong spark during at the time of issue. Once warm, spark is good and off I go. Initial issue was starting, then got progressively worse until Pick coils got fried.... then a year long calamity of crazy bad choices(mechanic & non-oem parts). Work is all...

Can hear the pump "tic' and can smell fuel. Will try that tho. Thx

Nope, choke works and fuel flows too. Can hear the difference with choke out and smell fuel after a few min of trying. I don't start in Nuetral too long now, as it kills the battery and I feel like that is how the Pickup coils may have been fried.

By rough I mean sounds like this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_fBU4AVz5U Then in 2nd it starts, but pitch "lowers" then picks up to normal. Runs fine once warm. Not battery, it's new. Stator is new & charging too. You're correct with Clutch pulled in, but doesn't feel like drag is...

My 2007 Vstar 650 Classic will start rough when temp drops. Early morning or after sunset for example. Battery, plug, stator and pickup coil are new. If not starting in neutral, I noticed if I pop up to 2nd gear it will grind to a start and then it's all good. Once warmed up, no issue...
