    Great video! ❤ I Just purchased my first bike the Vulcan 2008 a week ago with less than 5700 miles on it from FB market and the price was 1800! I think he just wanted it gone and I was happy to take it off his hands 😂

      Thanks. Yes, I think you can see in my face how happy I was when the bike started and ran so well.

    I have that same exact bike. Left it sitting for a few years and spent a couple months getting it back into shape. I hope you enjoyed working on it as much as I did. Thank you for sharing the video!

      I did enjoy working on it. It is a great feeling of accomplishment to take a project and see a big improvement to it when you are finished with it. It was a great bike to start with which really made my job easier. Thanks for watching.

    Great job! I learned a lot just watching this. Got a 2012 Vulcan 900 in my aunts garage that has not been started in 3 years. This vid is the best thing I could have found!

    I loved that look on your face when it started. I'm kinda sad it's done, l really enjoyed the videos on it. You done a great job. The bike looked awesome. 👌😀

      The look on my face was genuine. I was so excited when it started and sounded so good. I enjoyed working on it but I'm glad it's finished. Time to get back to work on the Vette. The next project on it will be the trailing arms.

      The older I get the more patient I am becoming. LOL Ride safe. I ride a 2008 HD Ultra Classic. I bought it new and it now had 94K miles on it.

    Three years ago I bought a 2013. Had a Harley Street Glide but it was getting too heavy for me to back it up on the smallest grade. Three things I was looking for in a lighter cruiser. Belt drive, large fuel tank and inexpensive to insure. So happy with my choice. Had to get used to the 5 speed but no bike is perfect.

    • @timewiththedurbins

    You say near the end you managed to replace the plugs without taking off the tank. Would be great if you could do a video showing that. There are a few on here already but they're not very good..

      Well, I can definitely speak for the speed and agility of the 650 being very enjoyable. Other than that, we do have a 1700.

    I hear the fuel gauge wire on vulcans is hair thin and easy to snap, that could be the gauge issue

  • @danielcampbell8184
    @danielcampbell8184 7 місяців тому

    Even though you hear fuel pump, doesn't mean you have good pressure. Not the case with your bike.

    • @timewiththedurbins
      @timewiththedurbins  7 місяців тому

      You are correct. I was just hoping since I replaced the pump and regulator that it was working at the right pressure.

    Why do people keep trying to use WD-40 as a penetrant or lubricant? It is neither. Especially when somethings been sitting like that for sometime. He should've put some well-known penetrate in the cylinders and made sure the bike would turn over manually with a wrench on the crank before even tried to start it.

    • @timewiththedurbins
      @timewiththedurbins  3 місяці тому

      Thank you for your comments. I meant to crank it over before I tried to start but then I had a brain fart and forgot. The cylinders looked pretty good so I didn't think it would be an issue starting. Live and learn. As far as using WD40, like I said earlier the cylinders were not rusty so I didn't think it would take more than WD40 to loosen up the pistons if they were a little stuck. Again, live and learn.
