Vulcan 800 Classic

I have a 2005 Vulcan 800 Classic. It has Vance & Hines pipes. It seems like the rear cylinder is dead until the bike warms up. Anyone expirenced this. I don't know if it's normal. I just bought the bike.

Welcome to KF Gordo. I don't know much about twins, but I'll ask around.

Gordo, welcome back. Wrong area to be posting on your question bro.

Have you looked at the plugs and carb? Could be running fat on idle.

RE: Vulcan 800 Classic

Welcome to the forums. Check the plugs. The rear cylinder runs hotter than the front. If someone else installed plugs, and did not use a rubber insulator spark plug socket, the ceramic probably cracked and it is jumping spark until it warms up.

Good luck. Enjoy your stay.
