PROBLEM SOLVED! Honda 750 was right on the money with his first suggestion! I'm embarrassed to say, all of this has been the result of a "sticky" kickstand switch! Although I thought I checked it and sufficiently "lubed-it" following Honda 750's original post, apparently I did not do a good enough ...

Coffee Brake: After reading your original comments in this section, I was ready to go home and get to work pulling apart the clutch. I only had 3-4 hours and, when I looked at ALL the info and photos in my manual about taking the clutch apart, I was a little intimidated. I'm hoping the bike will be ...

Thanks for the info Northern Pete. It does have carbs and that's my next step. I did some routine maintenance today (changed oil/filter; cleaned air filter which was VERY difficult to put back on; general cleaning). The bike ran great today with no problems, and that may have something to do with ...

THANKS for the info Coffe Brake and Wrider! I've been out of town for a week and I was not able to review this site. I plan to do some work on the bike today, so I'll see if this works. So far, new plugs and a dose of Sea Foam have not helped. I planned to check air filters today, now I'll also work ...

Thanks for the reply honda750! I'll look at this pin this evening. I think I have ruled out this is simply a coldblooded issue. It took A LONG time to get the bike moving this morning. I was just about to give up when it FINALLY went. Again, once it moved the first time, it ran great all the way to ...

THANKS for your response! It does not bog down when I idle, rev the engine or once I am "on the go." It only bogs down when I try to take off in first gear while the bike is cold or semi-warm. I am not able to put the bike in any other gear when this is happening. Once the bike is running normally ...

Cold Blooded or SOmething More?
I just purchased a 1996 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500. It starts easily (even when cold) and it runs great with one exception. When I start the bike cold or fairly warm, after letting it run a minute or so, I put the bike in first gear and when I try to go, it acts like it's in 4th gear. It bogs down. I can ...
