I sold my Valkyrie last year. Best bike ever and my 2nd favorite bike of all time. GL1800 is my fav, but the Valkyrie is a razor close 2nd. A Valkyrie with a 6 into 6 exhaust….OMG the sound is beyond addicting. Had I have kept the bike, I would have pulled the carbs and cleaned and rejetted them. My plan is to get at least 1 more Valkyrie, I will get a Interstate and maybe a tourer. My last one was a base model. Love the Videos Cody (hope I spelled that correctly), you have helped me rebuild and jet the carbs on my VT100 I had. Great Channel
The best way to sync is with light. a fluorescent bar on the air filter side and a flux meter on the nozzle side. that works so much cleaner than vacuum meters. I have a Valkyrie myself. which runs better than a new one from the factory
Cody I need your help ! I own a CB1000C and bought new intake manifold rubber boots. It is a pain to have them properly aligned as they are angled. Could you give me any tip how to do this ???? Thanking you in advance

Hey Cody, do you have a course for the carbs on a 1990 cbr1000f? Are the carbs on the 900f the same? I'm very, very interested! Thanks for being here for us, your knowledge, passion and philosophy keep us riding!!
Had my (new to me) 99 standard Valkyrie for just over a year. It's not running right. I get 22 mpg. I can't get above 95 mph most of the time, although once it easily ran up to 120 ish before I backed off. I guess something opened up or something, but that only happened once. It's usually sounds a big rough and people behind me can smell fuel. I'm leery of attempting such a big job, but I can't afford $1500 in a shop. I do most of my own maintenance, brakes, fluids, fork oil, etc. Do you think a carb job is what's needed for this bike?
Hey, Sam. I'm in same situation. Just got my first Valkyrie. 1998 standard with 35k miles. She runs well, but I can definitely smell fuel when I get off the bike. More so than with my Honda VLX that I'm coming from. I'm not sure if it's a carb issue.
Carbs caught me out again this week too. Clean like new, obviously overhauled... but for whatever reason the float needles were worn. Easy fix, but a lot of work relatively. Also the spring in the vacuum fuel valve was missing 🤷🏼♂️?!
Love what you do. I'm in the UK and have enjoyed watching the content on the 185 . Some of the models you cover are us models only. Valarie was not available in Europe. But love to learn how to 😊😊😊
I need to clean the carbs on my 2000 Yamaha Royal Star Venture. Do you have a video on that or are you strictly a Honda shop? Your videos are excellent btw.
I just found you after lots of years of carb frustration. Thank you, "Baby Jesus!" I have 3 bikes that have run since before Covid with old gas and clogged jets.
How about a jet ski with 2 carbs on it how would you go about that trying to get them adjusted mine has the fuel mixture screw close to the engine I have a 98 seadoo with the 951cc twin carb and want to get it dialed in thanks
99 Valkyrie I/S owner here @ 40k miles! Looking forward to your videos, i'm trying to keep my baby alive and running for a loong time!!
Keep it clean and oiled up! 🤙🏻

Do you have a video showing timing belt replacement for a Honda Valkyrie GL 1500?
You’re a national treasure Cody! Thanks for the amazing content 🚀

Not carburated, have you done anything with the Kawasaki Vulcan 2000? God I love my V2K. I never want another cruiser.
Cody how do I order your valkyrie carb video?

@TheMotorcycleMD Can you replace the fork seals in my 2012 GL1800?

@@TheMotorcycleMD Great. Are you still at the Honda dealer in Norfolk?

Why is there such an obsession with cleaning Valkyrie carbs? Is it because of ethanol?

I don’t have that course yet! Sorry man!

The heck?! Someone was in there!
@@TheMotorcycleMD Like the carbs, I think it was refurbished, but someone apparantly forgot to put in the spring. Oh well...
