Loving ALL your videos, I own both a 75 Goldwing and 99 Valkyrie, you present so slowly and methodically, it’s more easily followed than an other video. Thank you 😊 ❤ 🙏
@@TomAsay64 Beautiful. Our Valkyrie videos are about putting things onto the bike, so your own showing disassembly is welcomed :-) Will be waiting for more from you !!
@@CityWalkerProductions Thank you! I checked out your channel and like what you are doing. I have neglected my bike for too long! I'm sorry that I did not get any videos of doing my brakes and steering bearings!
@@TomAsay64 We hope you will have timne for your bike from now on :-) They deserve a little care fron time to time. Looking forward to what you will do next ! Have a great week !
Hello. I have inherited a valkyrie that's in parts. On the air box there are 3 openings. 1 I know connects to the cranks case vent. One has a clear ish red tube on it that im not sure where it connects. The other has nothing on the end. Any info would be great. Thankbyou
@@elibrass4171 Yes, there is a line from #6 manifold to the petcock to open the valve when vacuum present. The one I said is just behind (inboard) of that manifold and much larger. I will look thru my footage and give you a time mark for you to look at. I'm at work and don't have time right now.
I have been offered one of these. How often does one have to maintain the bike and care for the carbs? The carbs are my biggest fear, how ofte does one have to rebuild or clean them? My VT750 ACE never needed anything done to the carbs in nearly three years but I had it running at least every two weeks and took it around the block, even in winter.
The best thing to do is what you have been with your VT750, don’t let it just sit. The fuel will get old and then gum up the fuel system. The engine oil needs to circulate as well. It wouldn’t hurt to put a little Gumout SeaFoam or equivalent in the tank every fill-up. The Valkyrie sat for a long time before I got it so the fuel system gummed up. The Go;dwing sat for over 10 years! Make sure you keep riding any bike every 2 weeks or more often if you can. Don’t just run it on the kickstand. They need exercise! Thanks for watching!
@@TomAsay64 Thank you for your answer. That's just what I thought. The winters in Germany haven't been that hard the last two years so I rode it to work or the grocery shop every now and then.
Oh yes, sorry. I believe those are stock. I did add a 1" spacer made from sheet PVC. I cannot go more unless I lengthen the brake and clutch hoses as well as the throttle cables.
To drain the carbs, just let it run for 10 minutes or so until it dies. But, if you rode it often enough you would never need to do any carb work. I have had my Valkyrie 27 years, 114,000 miles and have never touched a carb or been in the engine or trani. However, it never sat more than three months. Ride it. People who have carb problems on these bikes are not bikers, they aren't even weekend warriors. They are like Harley riders. Buy it, polish it, look at it and put it back in the garage.
If you look at 00:23 in the video the flat head screw for each one is located right there next to where I put the clear hose to drain each carb. Your bike should already have drain hoses attached to the carbs. Mine have been removed before i got the bike .

Glad you like them!
Thank you for posting this, along with the spacey spooky music!
Thank you!
Thank very much sir. I like how you added links to the specific parts of the video. However, I did watch the whole thing.
Thank you very much!
Very good and detailed video. Good reference ! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! I will have the carb disassembly video available soon.

Good video, tackling this myself in a few weeks
Thank you! Have fun with your project!
Seems like it would be easier to drain fuel after removal?

Hi Eli. One is the crankcase breather. one is an air supply located just behind carb #6 (left rear) and the other is a drain.
@@TomAsay64 thank you. The vaccum line from carb 6 doesn't go to the petcock?
@@elibrass4171 Yes, there is a line from #6 manifold to the petcock to open the valve when vacuum present. The one I said is just behind (inboard) of that manifold and much larger.

@@TomAsay64 really appreciate the help Tom. Is the red hose the one you are talking about or is it the drain.

wow, great instructional vid. Thanks!
btw, how long are those risers and where did you get them?
What risers are you talking about?
aren't those risers on your handlebars?
Oh yes, sorry. I believe those are stock. I did add a 1" spacer made from sheet PVC. I cannot go more unless I lengthen the brake and clutch hoses as well as the throttle cables.

It looks like a lot of work to get them off the bike!
Yes it is!
Can't see what screw you're loosening to drain the fuel because your hands are in the way...

Хорошее пособие. Для того чтобы понять порядок действий и язык знать не обязательно.
Я согласен.
That awful background music is so freaking annoying!!
