    I have a 2007 vulcan and you gave me many good tips and interesting subject matter. I've learned about my bike. I don't have the same problems you are, but it gave me greater knowledge of my bike. Thanks.

    I've owned three nomads.....they were all great bikes. Just keep them serviced and ride them and you won't have any problems. The last one I had clocked over 60,000 miles, rode it all over the east coast, it loved the mountains with it's fuel injected motor.

      Once I sorted this one out it was a real beauty. I just didn’t have room for it or I would have definitely kept it.

      They are really nice machines. I wish I had room to keep it but I eventually sold it. Might end up with another one if I have room!

      There’s really not much/any troubleshooting on those, and they are expensive. It ended up being a very cheap part to fix it.

    I have an old Yamaha royal star I have been doing the same thing a few different times the last few years. Owned it for ten years, sold it and got it back for 500 when the guy I sold it to had it break down and left it. About to jump back into it as watching this has me going again

      Nomad comes with hard bags and windshield. Otherwise all pretty much the same mechanically.

      Similar engine, but that won't be fuel injected. I think it was still a four speed then as well. Good machines.
