my first post. i just got my first valk last week.

[calcruiser]

now i get it.  it's an American made Japanese copy of a German race car motorcycle.   80 year old owner couldn't ride it anymore.  so he sold me his 1997 GL1500C with cobra straight sixes.  black.  63k miles.  $2800.  curious how many guys out there got kinda sad after they got they first valk.  i've been riding the wrong motorcycles for 32 years.  if i could go back i would have bought one new and never ridden anything else.  all those years lost to inferior machines.  currently have a 2003 VTX 1800 R and a 1984 Magna V65.  the Magna will smoke anything.  2,300 original miles on it.  the valk is my new daily.  i'll never sell it.  other two will probably go.  i want a rune.  hello to all.  let's love motorcycles.

Welcome aboard.

I too rode all kinds of bikes for many years until I stumbled on the Valkyrie. 

I kept the others around for a while until it became clear I only wanted to ride the Valkyrie, and storage was a problem with no garage, only sheds.  I shined them up and sold them off one by one (to the very first guy who came to look at them each time).  I ended up getting a 2d Interstate later.

I've become a big Honda fan and virtually all my equipment is Honda... and Stihl.

I don't know if you can can get pure gas (no corn ethanol) out there, but that sh!t is death on carburetors if left sitting in the tank.  I run only pure gas in both bikes and all my carbureted equipment.

[HayHauler]

Welcome Calcruiser.  My story is similar.  I first rode a 650 Yamaha twin cylinder back in 1984.  Traded it for a pickup because I had a kid on the way and needed some way to transport him.
He graduated High School in 2005 and I bought my 1999 IS in 2007.  It was my bother's green and silver IS and he couldn't ride as he was going through chemo treatments and needed the money.
To my surprise, that InterState was my new addiction.  I put 187k miles on that bike before I hit some gravel and ended up in the ditch at 35 mph.
I bought HotGlue's 1999 standard with 94k miles on it and am proceeding to put miles on it.  It is at 101k currently.

BTW, there is an annual gathering in West Virginia in 2 weeks.   It is a great event to meet like minded owners and some of the best people you will ever meet.  I know it is short notice, but it would be great to have a new owner show up on his new to him Valkyrie.

 Welcome, you will find a wealth of knowledge here with this group. Check out the tech board if you have any questions, there is a good search engine to help you with pretty much anything you want to do to your new to you bike. If it's not there already ask, these people are knowledgeable. I second the post to attend Inzane if possible, this will be my 7th and do not regret any of them.

[Hook#3287]

Welcome.

The VTX and Magna are both classics.

Now you have 3.

[Farside]

  Welcome to the Valkyrie Team. Great wealth of knowledge on here if you ever have questions about your bike. Maybe we will meet at a future InZane, you should try to make them when you can. Meet the folks on here at many other rides too but InZane is the yearly Valk Gathering and lots of fun

[f6john]

Congrats. I’m always impressed with new owners of Valkyries and their impressions, especially for a bike out of production over 20 years. The fact that you can be so happy with your $2800 28 year old bike is a testament to the design and execution of the Valkyrie. Makes me a little jealous as mine was over $12,000 out the door back in 99!

Hope you enjoy yours as much as I have mine. You do know that pictures are required from all new owners, right?

[old2soon]

      It pained me Hugely to give up my 99 I/S which I personally put over a 100 G on. My Brother-AKA da prez-found me an 88 Honda G/W trike. The ol left hip no like holdin up an 800+ lb M/C no mo! Recently swithched to a 2012 Honda GL 1800 trike with a Motor Trike Air ride conversion. And I turned 80 back this Feb. You Will find these Valkyries Very ADDICTIVE! Left Church 1 Sunday morning years back and after Oklahoma and Kansas got back home that Evening and had wadded up over 530 miles. Daughter was still home she left for school I decided to have lunch in Mississippi! And YES I did git back home before she did! Like I'd stated-Very ADDICTIVE M/Cs!  WELCOME to our sabdbox!  RIDE SAFE.

Hey Jess you nailed it.  bad gas.  i don't think the bike had been ridden in 2-3 years.  gas didn't even smell like gas but she still ran on it.  put fresh gas in it and she screamed.  but i think i got a gunked up jet or something.  when i wanna let her rip.  it hestitates between the 4-5k rpm range.  then gets back to pulling hard 5k+.  should i seafoam it?  i tend to avoid potions with my machines, but got too much on my plate to tear these carbs apart now.

[Hook#3287]

Try running half a can of berrymens B-12 next gas fill up.

Hey Jess you nailed it.  bad gas.  i don't think the bike had been ridden in 2-3 years.  gas didn't even smell like gas but she still ran on it.  put fresh gas in it and she screamed.  but i think i got a gunked up jet or something.  when i wanna let her rip.  it hestitates between the 4-5k rpm range.  then gets back to pulling hard 5k+.  should i seafoam it?  i tend to avoid potions with my machines, but got too much on my plate to tear these carbs apart now.

My local D run counties will not allow the sale of no corn gas (apparently because they're against anything that makes good common sense).  

So about quarterly, I make 100 mile round trip pilgrimage out West of me in my big van with all my empty gas cans (mostly 5gals and a number of smaller ones) where I can get it.  I line all my cans up at the pump, and even though it's superior gasoline, I dose each empty can with the proper amount of Marine Grade Stabil, and a healthy slosh of Seafoam or Berryman's B12 before filling from the pump.  Because that gas will sit outside in my shed in all weather and heat for up to 4 months.  This dosing may be overkill, but all my machinery and 2 valks (33 carburetors total) never get gummed up or require tinkering (I'm no carburetor mechanic).  I also day ride West out of the suburban sh!t I live in and try to fill up out there too, but tap my home storage supply for the bikes when necessary.  

Yeah I'd dose that bike with Seafoam or Berrymans, modestly several times, not a huge dose all at once.
Edit: I don't disagree with Hook (Bill).

I also always try to drive my 2017 Ram Promaster 2500 van out there for gas on a low tank, and I fill it up with no corn too.  Modern fuel injection will run on anything including corn gas, but my big 285HP 6 cylinder truck performs noticeably better and gets better mileage on pure gas.  And the big 24 gallon gas tank will also sit outside in all weather and heat for months on end, and I'm an old retired foker and don't put that many miles on it (14-15K is all on a 2017).  And as an old disaster preparedness guy, I view that gas tank as an emergency storage unit.  Though they don't make it easy to get it back out of there, and I've never needed to.  

One more thing:  Seafoam is several dollars more expensive than Berryman's.  I'm no chemical engineer, and use both, but wonder for general gas stabilizing and carburetor cleaning, is Seafoam worth the extra cost?  Anyone?

Do you Sta-bil/Berrymans the truck gas as well?  I would imagine so.

[Jess from VA]

No Jimmy, I don't.  Except when my home storage is getting low, and I'm going to make the trip out for resupply, I'll pour every bit of remaining (Stabil/Seafoam/Berrymans) gas I have left in the truck so all my cans are empty. 

[calcruiser]

thanks all you righteous dudes.  i live in a particularly corrosive environment.  the valk was sitting outside covered in a driveway for 25 years in Carmel, calif. on the Monterey peninsula.  we get ocean fog regularly.  worst galvanic corrosion i've ever seen on the fork tubes.  here's what i came up with before i decided to check this thread to see if anyone chimed in on the seafoam question.  i've got half a can of seafoam ready to go in the garage.  i'm not using it.  my concern is for the rubbers and seals.  seafoam is kinda hard on seals and stuff i've read.  also, seamfoam is petroleum based and i don't think it's got the same water displacing abilities of Berrymans.  Berrymans uses acetone and tolulene and for this bikes history i think it's more appropriate.  Gonna use half a can and take a trip to Santa Cruz and back.  that'll just about be a tank.  then on refill i'm gonna add the stabil marine.  i'm after the vapors.  apparently it coats your upper carbs and diaphragms and internals that don't get gas wet with some loveliness.
so to sum it up dudes.  yep, half a can of Berrymans.

Berryman's is a good choice.  However, It does most of its work in the carbs whiles sitting.  If you put it in and immediately burn the tank you'll miss that part.  Put it in, run it for 2-5 miles and then let it sit overnight before your trip.

On this trip, try to putt around as much as possible.  This helps get the Berrymans into the slow jets where it is really needed.  The main jets are big enough so that they don't get clogged up as easily.  This has worked for me a couple of times in the past when I was unable to ride for some time.
Sounds like you have the tools you need to get them unclogged.  I hope it works for you.

update on my bad gas situation.  added 40 percent of a can of berryman b12 at the pump.  filled tank.  started up rough.  ran rough for 30 seconds.  put in gear and down the road we went.  ran rough for 30 seconds.  then poof.  she absolutely rips!  this is surprising me.  this bike is unbelievable.  all i'm gonna do now is put some fresh oil in it.  and ride it.  i think what helped a lot was siphoning most of the bad gas out as soon as i got it home.  damn these bikes are runners.

Yes they is.   

At 72, I'm trying to act my age (at least when riding).

I have some favorite local winding hilly country roads I have been on 100 times (all 2 lane).  They are posted 25, 35 and 45, but are mostly empty and you you can do what you want.  A lot of the time there's trees and deep ditches right on the edge of the road (that you want to miss if at all possible), some potholes and gravel here and there too.  I've blown through there dragging floorboards in the past, but a nice 15 to 20 over is more rational.

A month or so ago I'm cruising through and I see three young sport bike guys coming up behind me.  I should just wave them by, but no I want to have some fun, so as they get closer I blast off and I can watch them trying to catch me.  They pace me but can't pass me and I lead us full tilt though several miles of pure fun.  We come up out of the best riding into a bit of a straightaway, and I let off and wave them past and each of them give me a big thumbs up.  I think they're a bit surprised to see grandad (with pure white chin hair) cranking and banking a big 950lb 6cyl dresser Honda through the old trail. 

These bikes are runners.    Just try not to hit a tree or go in a ditch.

Berryman's is a really strong solvent.  After applying acrylic deck coating, the brush quickly hardened into a solid.  That brush almost went into the trash. Nothing would clean it.  Before giving up, I poured Berryman's on it.  We know acrylic = plastic.  The chemicals in Berryman's softened the plastic quickly. 

If I use that stuff again, I won't exceed the recommended amount.

[Willow]

...

I do.  When I put it in I normally use a half can to a full tank of fuel.

[Hook#3287]

The op was looking for cleaning which is what I would do first with 1/2 can of berrymens B-12.

As suggested by Willow and Hayhauler, I would ride almost completely to a empty tank, putt around at low rpms and let sit overnight.

If that didn't solve my issue, repeat.

Avoiding pulling the carbs is the goal.

I use 1oz of 2 Stroke oil in every fill up.  Been doing so for 3-4 years and have not experienced any carb issues since.  (Probably just jinxed myself)

I bought a Valk from a guy that lived on Long Island.  He would ride around in the salt air and park the bike next to his garage, full of crap, and cover the bike with a tarp.

It took me the better part of a winter to repair or replace most of the chrome and metal on that bike, but it was worth it.

I must admit, I was a bit of a smart ass.  He was a bully and even as a teen I wasn't going to kiss his ass or knuckle under to him, and man he didn't like that.  He probably smacked his kids around from time to time, but I don't know that for sure.  When they got old enough, they moved out and never went back.  (That's probably more info than you were looking for.  It just so happens Jimmy, my 95yo mom and I were talking about him yesterday.  Thus the overshare. )

going to look at another valk tomorrow.  makes no dad gum sense.  don't need it.  guy says it runs like new.  new tires, battery, and brakes.  50k miles.  asking 2k obo.  reason i'm looking at it.  just seems ridiculously cheap for that much bike.  prices for these bikes are all over the place.  seen them from 1500 rough to 10k for low mile gems.  my spidey sense is telling me somethings off.  salvage title, expired tags, back fees, another liar and it actually runs awful?  come to think i'll have a good conversation with him on the phone before doing the hour drive.  we'll see might have to upload some pics or two valks.

It's a Valk buyer's market out there these days.  But buyer beware (which is always true for old stuff).

I paid $12.5K (1100 miles, every aftermarket chrome available, and beautiful airbrushed blue dragons on the bags) and $8200 (42K mi) back in the day.  I certainly didn't need a 2d Interstate, but that one had been built by racing people with a wet nitrous system and permanently solo'ed trunkless supervalk also blinged out with parts I'd never seen before, and full CB radio.  But that bike had only been to a quarter mile track once and I think the older owner scared himself and sold it (to me). And this was at the end of my working career when I was earning large.  And I've had them ever since.  Maintaining them both in top form ever since has been a bit of a PITA (which over time I tried to stagger rather than do both together).

Now that you've learned something about them, if the telephone investigation sounds promising, I'd say go for it.  If it turns out to be a bike more to your liking (color, condition, miles, yada) than the one you have, do the deal, bring it home, transfer your legals/insurance and sell the 1st one.  (Or keep them both, though some wives have been known to get naggy about this.)

Both my deals were out of State (arriving with a bag of riding gear), and both times I was able to convince the seller to let me have the loan of his plate and registration (and signed title) (and hand written bills of sale X2 I prepared each time).  Then I kept my word, and mailed back the plate and reg as soon as I rode them home (I had no truck & trailer).

Keep us in the loop

He spent the summer with me building my house back in 1989 and I was not in the financial position to pay him what his help was worth.

I gifted him the Valk, but the bike continues to give to me.

Last summer, we got to ride together in NC, along with his son and son's friend.

Well worth it.

Hey Jess,
Well phone convo went well.  Current tags.  Clean title.  Runs great.  Says he rode it twice yesterday.  Says he's had all kinds of bikes and this is the best bike he's ever had.  I said, "sounds like a valk".  Leaving now to go check it out.  I keep buying bikes off of old dudes.  this is the third bike i'm buying from an 80 year old guy.

one of these days i'll figure out how to use this board.  replies and quotes and all.

[calcruiser]

bought it.  $1800.  ugly.  mechanically perfect though.  mechanically in better shape than the one i bought for $2800.  pipes, engine case, exhaust flanges, forks all like new.  back to four bikes again.  nuts.  think i bought it cause its ugly.  i'm going to customize this one.  i think a two tone gold and cream with a fireball flame on the tank.

Every June I put up 50 gal of no alcohol gas for hurricane season.  The recommended amount of regular Stabil will keep gas good for one year.  I know this, from leaving some that long in one of my boats.  When I opened the tank, gas smelled fine and the engine started right up, and ran perfectly.

hey jess,

have to paint a picture.  bikes still in his garage.  seats are torn and electrical taped, rear fender is buckled, tank looks like a primered bondo art project done by a 5 year old at camp inzane, and it's got a harley batwing with a bare backside, galvanized tubing galore.  tank is in mint condition inside.  all the important stuff is perfect.  all the finish is awful.  bike is a total pig.  runs like new.  engine and clutch are tight.  a perfect bike that this 87 year old dude with husquavarna suspenders on who ran a car tire on the back of it was obviously determined to have the best ugliest valk on the road.  perfect project bike.  easy.

Yeah, that qualifies as UGLY (holy crap, I've never seen anything even close to that).

I'm not sure if it's a project bike, or a parts bike.

But here's a thought;  If mechanically it's sound and really better than your other bike, you could just swap all the tins (tank, fenders, and anything else) from your bike to his bike.

EDIT:   Now that I read your post about riding with your brother on both bikes.... never mind.

[Draeger]

now i get it.  it's an American made Japanese copy of a German race car motorcycle.   80 year old owner couldn't ride it anymore.  so he sold me his 1997 GL1500C with cobra straight sixes.  black.  63k miles.  $2800.  curious how many guys out there got kinda sad after they got they first valk. 

I got kinda sad after I sold my first Valk in 2017.

Now I'm about to buy it back from the fella who bought it and enjoyed it for a few years.

Happy times!

OEM seats and rear fender rear sections are easy to find. Tanks are a little more spendy, but available.

I'm guessing when you say "bike is a total pig" your referencing it's looks?

The batwing is probably functional, but I've never shined up to their looks. You could look for a OEM Touer screen but that's some $$.  Many aftermarket alternatives.

Car tire is a good alternative to replacing a $300 m/t every 10k or so.

Take some pics and some one here will help get them on the site.

That's a process that takes some learning.

Looking forward to updates.
