This video goes over a persistent hard start issue when starting this bike for the first time of a day. The rest of the day it starts fine. This maybe a possible fix.

      The issue is very common on many generations on the R1 and it´s almost always corrosion in the starter relais. Replacing it will most likely fix it and it will start up just fine again. 😉

      The connnector is behind the frame rail just under the tank, on the inside of the frame. Remove the front tank bolt, rotate the tank up, and you’ll see it. It looks like a square block with a bunch of small black wires terminating into it.

  • @matthewreed4038

    One Amazon review suggested bending the 650 support bracket instead of using the exhaust hardware. Any thoughts? Also, is it possible to adjust the saddlebags so they don't hang so low? I plan on relocating the turn signals back.

    • @usernameandpasswrd
      @usernameandpasswrd 6 років тому

      I used the 650 bag prop rod and did have to bend it out to get the bags to sit straight. The bar doesn’t stick out as far as the shock when mounted. The bag will rest against the shock at the front. You can draw the bags up tighter if you like. You’ll have to use a different set of holes in the bag straps than I did to get them to sit higher. You’ll have to watch about getting the bags too high. They tend to pull away from the bottom of the support and start getting this weird angle tipping away from the bottom. You can likely tie them down to the bar with the furshished Velcro straps with the bags so they don’t do that. Relocating the blinkers is a good mod for the bags and gets them out the the way so the lid opens better. Try taking a look at moving them back around the taillight. You may want to throw the bags on when the turn signals are off, then eyeball the best spot for them before drilling holes.

    where did you get the chrome (J) mounts? You called them muffler clamps. I am trying to mount bags on my wife's 250 and my issue is the distance between the shock mount and turn light. It looks like you fixed it with the chrome clamps. are they EMGO products? Cheers!!

    • @usernameandpasswrd
      @usernameandpasswrd 9 років тому

      +Scott Tominski The J bracket was a harley exhaust mounting bracket. I dont remember what site I ordered it from. It wasn't an emgo part. I'll look through my other PC and see if I can find a link for it. I did look around for it on the net but didn't see it. The bracket below probably will fit the bill though. It has about the same dimensions of offset, hole spread, and hole size.. The 650 hanger for the bags can be sprung around to match up. You will have to open the hole a shade for the stalk as it's a shade bigger than 3/8". The J bracket had to have the hole opened up as well. www.jpcycles.com/product/4400285

    • @usernameandpasswrd
      @usernameandpasswrd 10 років тому

      I've seen your video and while the bags are tied on well, the strap over the seat and the strings take away from the install. I wanted them to appear just as they should on the bigger bikes, with the rear seat usable. Your video did have me thinking. There's not too many installations on VStar 250s. Of course, the wife wanted more storage so it now has a bag on the seat as well. It is quite the luggage hauler. :) We remove it on occasion to haul the grandchildren, they like to ride. :) How's that back seat to sit on and leg position for a rear passenger? Ours rides fine with no interference from the bags.

    • @lynnetto
      @lynnetto 10 років тому

      Richard Litten I get it. I did consider mounting my bags under the passenger seat, but decided I liked them higher up. I also considered getting the sissy bar so I could bungie a bag off that, but couldn't cost justify it since I really had no need or desire for lugging much more around than what you can put in a fanny pack. But on to bigger and shinier things now, mine just got put up for sale today. Hope I don't cry when it sells....

  • @kaihyvarinen8649
    @kaihyvarinen8649 11 років тому

    Thanks Rick for a good video. Just wonder how did you get the rear Harley brackets in. Did you dismantle the whole rear signals in pieces on both sides or just pulled all the wires out and inserted them again through the bracket. However, your installation looks damn good.

    • @usernameandpasswrd
      @usernameandpasswrd 11 років тому

      Sorry if I missed your message. I pulled the whole turn signal off. Theres a wire that comes out the turn signal and plugs into the bike harness a little forward of the shock and there is also a small metal tab bent over to keep the wires out of the tire. Unplug the wires, remove the nut, bent the tab just enough, and extract the turn signal stalk. Thread the wire through the harley bracket hole, throw your rubber shim in if you want, and bolt everything back up. The stank is long enough to take the bracket.

    If your tank bag is a cortech, it may be a shade in your way if it's a big 1.8 like mine. I got her a smaller one but the way it sits slanted on the tank, may look a little odd. She won't use it. Says it gets in the way of the handlebars (hers are pull back bars)

  • @usernameandpasswrd
    @usernameandpasswrd 11 років тому

    f you have to slide it forward. it may hit you in the butt while driving and become annoying. You can get the straps to the very edge in the rear of the seat and still clear ok, but the first strap must be able to pass under 1.5" back or further back to clear the front seat mount and lay straight. Let me know if you have any more questions. :)

  • @usernameandpasswrd
    @usernameandpasswrd 11 років тому

    The seat pad measures 7"w by 8" deep. Due to the position of the bracket under the seat, there's only a 6" area under the seat to place the straps. Try sitting the bag on top the seat where the front edge of the bag it at the front edge of the seat. See if the straps are in the right spot to go under it. If it is, you can shim the seat as I did to get the straps in.

    If you look closely at the signal stalk, youll see a grommet between the bracket and the fender. I may not have mentioned that in the video but that is another 'straight off the shelf' grommet from lowes big enough to fit the stalk bolt. Its there so the bracket isnt bolted directly the fender so it wont tear up the paint I did also have to notch the J bracket on the back with a dremel. Once you take the turn signal off, youll see a dimple on the fender used to keep the stalk from spinning aroun

  • @usernameandpasswrd
    @usernameandpasswrd 11 років тому

    Bags were bought at the local motorcycle shop. Id stay away from teh slanted ones. they look cool, but the storage sucks cause the slants eat up room for big tall items. The wife loves them. I even got her a little round bag that straps on the front shock legs under the headlight and she carries our night glasses and keys in it. :)

  • @usernameandpasswrd
    @usernameandpasswrd 11 років тому

    1. The only issue I see come up was whether the brace was pulled far enough away at the bottom to keep the inside of the bag from grazing the lower shock bolt head. A simple pull on it gave it more clearance. :) 2. I wouldve liked to move the turn signals back by the tailight but I was under strict orders not to move them. Other than that, no. 3. 12"lx9"hx7"w. I can call the dealer tomorrow and see if they know what I bought if it helps. They weren't anything special, just 'off the shelf' bags.
