First Start in 8 years for the Vulcan 900

[@thedrivewayC3]

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of witnessing the “first start!” Nice job! 🎉 Runs smooth!

[@timewiththedurbins]

Thanks. Yes, I think you can see in my face how happy I was when the bike started and ran so well.

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

Beautiful machine. Alot of craftmanship went into that bike.

[@timewiththedurbins]

It's a really nice bike. If I didn't already have one I would buy it.

[@hamptonmitch]

I have that same exact bike. Left it sitting for a few years and spent a couple months getting it back into shape. I hope you enjoyed working on it as much as I did. Thank you for sharing the video!

[@timewiththedurbins]

I did enjoy working on it. It is a great feeling of accomplishment to take a project and see a big improvement to it when you are finished with it. It was a great bike to start with which really made my job easier. Thanks for watching.

[@jamesdefrange]

Great job! I learned a lot just watching this. Got a 2012 Vulcan 900 in my aunts garage that has not been started in 3 years. This vid is the best thing I could have found!

[@timewiththedurbins]

Thanks for watching. Good luck with your Vulcan. I'm impressed at how nice these bikes are.

[@charlesbennett1683]

I am about to buy the same bike. How is the bike doing? Are you riding still?

[@IAMAYESHAJAE]

Great video! ❤ I Just purchased my first bike the Vulcan 2008 a week ago with less than 5700 miles on it from FB market and the price was 1800! I think he just wanted it gone and I was happy to take it off his hands 😂

[@eduardomonteclar392]

And it runs good right?I’m enjoying my 07 vn9 Cl. They run so smooth

[@timewiththedurbins]

Wow. You got a heck of a deal. It's like buying a new bike for a used price. You should get a lot of years out of that bike and still sell it for a profit.

[@markmontgomery9954]

I loved that look on your face when it started. I'm kinda sad it's done, l really enjoyed the videos on it. You done a great job. The bike looked awesome. 👌😀

[@timewiththedurbins]

The look on my face was genuine. I was so excited when it started and sounded so good. I enjoyed working on it but I'm glad it's finished. Time to get back to work on the Vette. The next project on it will be the trailing arms.

[@rhythmpulserecordsinc365]

[@timewiththedurbins]

Thanks. It really is a nice bike. If I did not already have a bike, I would be buying this one.

[@sparrowscarprojects-em3fe]

Well done buddy i had the same problem with my 900 Bobber not running and took a while to figure it out but now she runs like a dream 😁🙌

[@timewiththedurbins]

Thanks for watching.

[@thisoldmanchannel]

Love this video! Great Job and I learned a lot! Thank you!

[@timewiththedurbins]

Thanks. I learned a lot doing this video series too. Most of my motorcycle knowledge is limited to Harleys.

[@westwaylokote13]

Great bike enjoy

[@timewiththedurbins]

Thanks. I hope to sell it.

[@daveh5625]

Thank you for your lesson in patience and problem solving... dave, 65, new rider, 650 versys

[@timewiththedurbins]

The older I get the more patient I am becoming. LOL Ride safe. I ride a 2008 HD Ultra Classic. I bought it new and it now had 94K miles on it.

[@h.wayneb3495]

Thanks for sharing

[@timewiththedurbins]

Thanks for watching.

[@CJR572]

Three years ago I bought a 2013. Had a Harley Street Glide but it was getting too heavy for me to back it up on the smallest grade. Three things I was looking for in a lighter cruiser. Belt drive, large fuel tank and inexpensive to insure. So happy with my choice. Had to get used to the 5 speed but no bike is perfect.

[@timewiththedurbins]

I'm really impressed with the quality and performance of this bike. If I didn't already have a bike, I would be buying this one for myself.

[@evocraig2062]

Enjoyed the vid. You say near the end you managed to replace the plugs without taking off the tank. Would be great if you could do a video showing that. There are a few on here already but they're not very good..

[@timewiththedurbins]

I wish I would have made a video but unfortunately, I no longer have the bike.

[@Wildirishmanbiker]

I had the same color scheme but 2008. I put 75,000 on that bike. I run a 650 versys now but will go back to the 900

[@jackcrespo2900]

Nice 👍👍

[@timewiththedurbins]

Thanks

[@peteenns67]

I hear the fuel gauge wire on vulcans is hair thin and easy to snap, that could be the gauge issue

[@LeavingShiftWork]

Bike still available?

[@h.wayneb3495]

Any ideal what you'll be looking to get out of it? Thanks

[@timewiththedurbins]

I'm asking $3,200.00.

[@h.wayneb3495]

ok Thank you

[@jwtfuw6607]

BEST BIKES ON THE MARKET!.... Just wish they kept the 1300cc,1500cc/1600cc. MORE POWER!!!!

[@FrankOsman]

Well, I can definitely speak for the speed and agility of the 650 being very enjoyable. Other than that, we do have a 1700.

[@danielcampbell8184]

Even though you hear fuel pump, doesn't mean you have good pressure. Not the case with your bike.

[@timewiththedurbins]

You are correct. I was just hoping since I replaced the pump and regulator that it was working at the right pressure.

[@JohnSmith-sm6oy]

How much you want .? Milton ont😊

[@timewiththedurbins]

I have since returned the bike to the owner. I think she is asking $3,500.00 The bike is located in St. Cloud, Florida. If you are interested in it, I can give you my email address.

[@derekh3577]

what are you asking?

[@timewiththedurbins]

I'm asking $3,200.00 obo

[@Hoggdoc1946]

Why do people keep trying to use WD-40 as a penetrant or lubricant? It is neither. Especially when somethings been sitting like that for sometime. He should've put some well-known penetrate in the cylinders and made sure the bike would turn over manually with a wrench on the crank before even tried to start it.

[@timewiththedurbins]

Thank you for your comments. I meant to crank it over before I tried to start but then I had a brain fart and forgot. The cylinders looked pretty good so I didn't think it would be an issue starting. Live and learn. As far as using WD40, like I said earlier the cylinders were not rusty so I didn't think it would take more than WD40 to loosen up the pistons if they were a little stuck. Again, live and learn.
