Hello all,

Having a weird issue for a while. Sometimes when pressing the start button on my 2013 XC, the bike cranks once, then goes quiet for 1 or 2 seconds and then starts as normal. I already replaced the battery, cleaned cable terminals, etc. It sarted last year and I am worried something is starting to go, so I want to check the smaller/easier things before I start looking into replacing the whole starter. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance.

I have 2004 v92tc the only thing ive done was shorten the exhaust (baffles were already out) 2 to 2 cross country style. I also changed the oil and filter. But lastly I installed a Techlusion TFI module. I took a ride for about 2 hours went great. The last leg I had to traverse gravel and was going very slow no more than second gear incase I dumped. However the only other tidbit is ive noticed the fuel pump (i think) running loud and higher pitched but assumed with it being hotter outside it was ok. I let it sit for 2 or 3 hours I got back on to ride and at some point it slowly lost power so it felt like I was stuck in 3rd gear. Pulled over and started again I can HEAR each shift but do not feel the pull into gear so I was able to ride 40mph at 3000 3250 rpms. Idk that I cooked the tranny. Or if my fuel filters are shot or if the TFI cooked my injectors. Any insight is helpful. I want my bike back.

Last year was my first year riding after taking a learner’s course the year before. I hadn’t really even considered a motorcycle in my life; However, my brother bought a 2017 Octane right before he passed away and I inherited it. I don’t call it mine, it’s still his that I’m riding since he didn’t get a chance to enjoy it. I’ll continue to ride in his honor.

It was sitting in a storage unit for 6 years and only has 4,000 miles. After a bit of work to get it in shape again, it has been fun to ride.

It’s a hell of a bike to begin on, though, so I’ve stuck to lower traffic highways and residential, only a handful of times I’ve ridden with congested traffic to see how it goes. I haven’t been brave enough to go on the interstate 😅 but one day I’ll be confident enough to really feel the power of it.

I recently acquired an octane however it didn’t have the original front fairing and windshield, does anyone have recommendations on where to find replicas or something close enough without gain to spend 700$ on the oem?

Set off my first car alarm with my 2013 Boardwalk today. It freaked me out because I have stock pipes but it sure made me smile. It was a FedEx truck hope I didn’t scare the delivery guy too much.
