  1. VTX 1300 Riders Board
    Hello, fellow riders. I'm fairly new to riding my vtx 1300. Transitioned from Cbr 1000. Ok, I think my son turned my key switch to on position and I didn't notice. So battery was completely drained. I used my car to jump my cbr with no problem. Tried to jump my vtx and while trying to start...

    I have a 2003 vtx1800r garage kept very low mileage. Battery is overly old but still tests out at 12.7-13v and holds a charge. I have ridden the bike multiple times with no issue, normally shorter trips. Last time I tried to take a long trip I got about 20 miles from my house (give or take) and...

    Long time member but first time post. Usually somebody has already posted and answered my question. I put the battery back in my VTX1800C after having it on the battery tender off and on over the winter. Turn the key and lights come on, horn works, etc. But as soon as I push the starter button...

    Hey guys and gals, been a while since I've been on here due to a new addition to our family. Anyway, here's the deal. I think I may have let the ole 1800C sit too long before I put the trickle charge on her and when I got on her the other day to fire it up it wouldn't even turn over. So I...

    My engine idles at 14.26v, and when I rev the engine it drops to 13.46v. Exactly opposite of what I expected. I thought my Kury LED voltage display was malfunctioning but I tested with my voltmeter. Is this to be expected or do I have a component about to fail? I just changed out the battery...

    Hello brothers. Thank you for taking time to read and hopefully help. I have a 2006 VTX 1800 C2 that will start if hooked to cables (and a booster box tapping the heavy lead on the sylinoid) but as soon as I unhook the battery from the car it shuts off. Runs like a raped ape when it is on the...

    Ok got my 04 neo retro several months ago. Fixed the ground issues and bike is stock. I have had issues now and then with starting issues. I turn the key on everything powers up FI light comes on and goes off. But when I hit the switch (sometimes) it acts like the battery is dead. It does it at...
