Welcome to the Worldwide V8 Bikers Forum

I've been riding my new Harley quite often , nice ride but not a Boss Hoss .

What , no more pictures ?

E10 can cause corrosion and damage to rubber parts and seal on your engine , I wouldn't advise using it at all !

Thanks Lincoln.

No but I do have a charger with a 3 amp mode that I occasionally use but the 925 Oddyssey seems to not lose it's charge if the bike is not ridden for a period of time .

This morning I checked the voltage of the battery and it showed a little over 14 volts and I checked the output right at the alternator and it checked little over 14 volts also but the amp gage still shows this time 13 volts . So I think all is well but I will keep and eye on it the next time I ride...

My Boss Hoss has been parked in my garage for the past couple of months because of eye surgery I had done . I started it the other day and noticed that the volt meter was only reading about 12 volts while running where it has always showed about 14 volts while running . I checked the belt tension an...

Yes , thank you both for giving us n a place to talk to fellow V8riders !

That's a 1901 , too bad you can't send it to Carb Mike for the stage II rebuild/ modifications. It will feel like you gained 50 hp .

I like Tim Siron wires , expensive but top quality .

Good deal , if you make sketch stating what each wire/terminal is for it make diagnosing an electrical problem much easier .

I think the terminal strip I used had 14 places . Try Mcmastercarr.com

I did away with those big cloddy plugs and replaced them with a terminal strip , in on side of the strip , out on the other side of the strip and made a diagram of what function each wire on the strip has . I think there were 14 wires in and out .

The only thing I can think of is overheating wires, unless the cooling fan's sending unit in the intake manifold is starting to die? Thanks , I did recently replace the fan thermostat switch , could be a faulty switch which could be possible but I will replace the fan relay with new and a new break...

Has anyone ever heard of a fan relay working intermittently. I have my cooling fan wired thru a relay and a breaker . Somehow it seems like the fan is losing power during hot riding and won't run . I also have a overide switch so I can switch the fan on manually . When the bike gets hot like 210 deg...

Been wrenching all my life and I just don't work that way especially where there's an axle and bearings involved .

3/4" Gerry, I've removed and replaced my axle several times and thought it was 50 lbs but just thought I'd check to be sure .

Thanks Puff

I think it's 50 ' lbs but can't seem to find it .

What is the torque for the front axle on the inverted front forks . Too lazy to look it up and don't remember .

Thanks Jack

EZPETE, I moved from Parish NY to N Fort Meyers FL 2 years ago . Thought I was the only Boss Hoss owner in central NY .

Loose neck bearings will cause a wobble .

It might be interesting to know your oil temp but it's uncontrollable , it is what is .

Actually you can probably trade your springs for the 400 lb. Springs if your's are are in mint condition .

400 lbs. is definitely the way to go .
