Hi, Some advise please guys. I have started the removal process of the baffles on my 1998 Vulcan Nomad and have followed all the instructions but find the baffles''wobbles'' inside the muffler but seems to be connected at the other end and just wont come out. Any suggestions ? I have tried brute force and it will not come out !!! Help ! :eek:

If it is wobbling, youare probably well on the way. There should be a tack weld at the end holding it in, you need to get this weld broke to get it out. This is the hardest part. If you can grip it with pliers and twist it also will help. Can be a tedious chore. When I did my 800 when a year old one came right out, the other took a couple hours of wiggling.

    General Vulcan Talk
    I just was gifted an 04 Vulcan 2000 from my dad. He has not rode the bike in a couple years. I had it shipped from CA to AL and it will not start. I’ve got a new battery, plugs, and replaced the gas. Still nothing. Tomorrow I plan to pull the fuel filter thing on the bottom of tank. Any other...

  5. Brake / Clutch fluid

    The manual always says to use a new unopened can when changing or topping up the level. Do you always buy a new can? I have a container that is almost full and is about 6 months old. Would you use it?

  6. Poll on age of our cruiser riders

    General Vulcan Talk
    With all the articles out there about younger people not into cruisers or motorcycles at all for that matter lets see who is riding these bikes. At least in this forum. Poll will be open ended and totally anonymous.
