No mater where you install these glass filters if they break and the fuel lands anywhere hot like exhaust pipes especially they are a hasard . A fuel pressure gage will tell you if you have fuel flow o...

Re: Dip stick

The dipstick for a bike should be adjusted so when the pan has 5 qts. In it , It shows full on the dipstick while the bike is leaning on the kickstand . Of couse it would show low when the bike is stood straight up .

Re: Condoms - Are They Really Necessary?

I know when I bought Mt bike new in 2000 along with the manual was a plastic bag with about 5 or 6 red (condums) and 5 or 6 green (conduwms) I guess to change the color of the gage panel bulbs . However I never used them .

Re: Check your throttle cable!!!

I think it is Barnett that sells what they call a custom throttle cable that doesn't have the bend . It comes straight out of the throttle housing , has a straight adjuster and is straight all the way to the carb . Only problem is I've only seen it in black but my cables are all black so that will b...

Re: 502 Intake manifold question

But, before I removed them I consulted with numerous engine builders and Boss Hoss dealers who said they weren't needed and remove...

Re: Ignition Upgrade

I guess it depends on how much you want to spend to gain a little seat of the pants performance feel .I'd make sure your bike is tuned perfectly first and then see if a new ignition change performance . If you see a big difference I may do the same to mine .

There seem to be a lot of European Boss Hoss bikes and I'm sure there have been transmission problems . Who repairs their transmissions and where do the get their parts ?
