Thanks! That's awesome to hear because I honestly worried about this one. I worried that I went too fast through everything and didn't give enough time, or maybe the pictures could have been better. Glad to know that it was actually able to help you out and get it installed. Thanks for watching and for letting me know it helped. Stay safe out there brother!
It's nice, definitely a difference. It appears if the previous owner wasn't even aware of the airbox or filter under the tank. My only issue now is surging between 2100-2300 rpm if my speed dictates I hang out there. For the time being I'm shifting to work around it.This was present before the upgrade though and I do have a VH fuelpak. I've read through the forums and blue bloods issue. I'm just trying to find a setting to maybe adjust it before pulling the FuelPak altogether. Reccomendations?
Awesome! Glad the video was able to help you get your BAK installed. Have you gotten to ride it and test it out yet? If so, how are you liking it? Did you relocate the coils while you were at it? Plan on doing the dyna coils and relocating them to the side before too long, but have a lot of other stuff planned before then. Thanks for watching and commenting, stay safe out there brother!
Thanks Brian for this video.. Perfectly detailed, how to do. I bought Warrior few weeks back and with your videos i am starting with cold air intake upgrades 👍🏻. Greetings from Czech Republic.
Have you figured this out? Sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet about this. I'd check both dry breaks first thing. Spray with a little wd 40 and click into place. Should hear an audible click of they seat right. From there, I'd check the two sensors underneath from the airbox and be sure they're not crossed or pinched. Also, you can run a diagnostic and see what code pops up and that will help to narrow it down as well. Try those if you haven't and let me know what happens!
Discovered ur channel recently, I’m hooked! Lol Great format as it takes the task to a level that a novice can perform. This winter I will be performing various of the mods in ur videos. Thanks
No problem! Glad the videos are helping people out and hitting the mark. Hopefully they can walk you through getting some of those mods done and I can come out with some more in the mean time to add to the list of mods to do. Thanks again!
I’m exactly the person you describe at the beginning of the video.... Still don’t know what or where my “LCV” is. :). So, thank you so much for these videos. Too bad this specific episode didn’t come out two weeks ago, installed Churchkey’s VBAK on my bike. :). Thanks again Brian.
I ordered new filters off this link. I have had the Churchkey V-Bak since 2009. My Warrior has over 40,000 miles and I still love it! I get compliments every time I take it out. What a great bulletproof platform of a bike! Have you done an R1 fork and brake conversion yet? I did mine years ago and it makes a huge difference as well.
Hey Bryan. I really appreciate your vids. I have a question for you regarding pod filters. I bought a used warrior and had to take off the tank for a repair. I noticed There are two K&N pod filters attached to the stacks. They don’t appear to sit in position very well. What would be your advice on getting a better fit? Should I get some sort of extension elbow or use an original/stock elbow from the airbox? If I need to make an attachment, elbow, what would you suggest I use? Thanks, Bob
RS Warrior Bryan I bought mine 8 years ago with the vBAK, AIS removal and power commander already completed, so it interesting to see all the junk that used to be there. What a mess.
Do the stacks make that much more of a difference compared to having no stacks? My bike has K&N filters directly on the throttle bodies. Just curious, and thanks for the video Bryan. I am also one of the people you describe in the beginning of the video. The forums and your videos have taught me so much about our Warriors.
I'm glad they have helped! Thanks for watching. As for the stacks, they're supposed to help with the air turbulence. It changes with different lengths, curves, etc.... I believe the Patrick Racing stacks give more torque and the churchkey ones give more power, or vice versa, can't really remember. If you're looking to clean up below the tank, the bak gets that done and makes changing plugs easier. The K&N filters are also giving more air flow as well. Would probably see a slight difference with the stacks though. Thanks again Kyle!
Hey Bryan love the channel, I got a few questions for you. I bought my 06 warrior with the V bak already done, just didn’t oil change and a few hundred miles later I noticed oil on the rear head gasket. It seems to be coming from The little pod filter on the rear cylinder head. Should I just reroute that? My second question is do you know why my air filters have oil on them, I do ride the bike relatively hard shifting at 4,200 rpms more or less. Would that cause the oil spit back ?
Hey Nikko, when you did the oil change, did you follow the procedure for draining and filling? Any idea how much oil you put in? The little pod filter on the crankcase breather will leak a little bit, but leak more when the bike has been over filled with oil. I ride mine the exact same way, shifting around 4200, and haven't had any problems at all. Check your oil level and see that it is good, also following the procedure. Lol if that's fine and you see that it is leaking just a small amount from that filter, and not the actual head, I wouldn't worry. Hope that helps, keep me posted on what you find out.
Ok so the shop that did the oil change over filled it by about 12oz and after I got it back to spec “fallowing the procedure” I still have oil leaking down the left side of the rear cylinder... it seems a bit more than what is considered normal. What’s your take on it ?
Not really. The stock ones work just fine, especially if you're trying to build the kit for the least money possible. If you didn't want to do the stock ones, you could even put the filters directly to the throttle bodies, just make sure you get the right filters to fit. I believe the throttle bodies are two inches wide. Hope that helps you out a little. Thanks again, stay safe out there!
Of course! Even have some guys that will install a cone filter on that side just for looks. Since you're removing the air box under the tank and everything, it won't be hooked up, so it'll just be for looks, but helps to hide the wires there also.
For the most part. I went with the Churchkey myself and he actually includes great instructions with pictures of how to install it. This video is pretty much showing the same exact thing, but possibly in different orders. You could easily reference both, and if you have any questions when you go to doing it, feel free to ask. May take a bit to get back to you, but I always try to reply to everyone. Good luck with your VBAK, I think you'll be happy with the purchase. Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay safe out there!
I have a 2006 warrior with flames, has been running perfect since I’ve had it. I just washed it and right after took it for a ride and it’s running fine except for when I’m slowing down. While letting the bike slow itself down in gear it sounds sick kind of like it’s missing or something instead of the smoothness that I’m used to hearing while slowing in gear. Any idea what it may be?
Hey Brittany, Thanks for watching and for the question. When you washed it, did you use a pressure washer? What kind of air intake set up do you have? How long ago did you wash it, and how long has it been acting like this? Sputtering could be any number of things ie vacuum line coming undone, water getting into intake, which is very rare, electrical connections on the coil, under the seat, etc.... If it clears up in a few hours, I'd assume water has gotten into somewhere. I'd check connections for any tuner you're running and the coils. Could also apply silicone to them to keep any moisture from occurring in the future. There are a few places to start checking, I hope it helps and you can get that bike back to smooth. Keep me posted and I'll try and help as much as possible. Thanks again and stay safe out there!
@@RSWarriorBryan I took it for a ride right after I had washed it, no pressure washer but did spray it pretty good with the water hose and nozzle. Has stock air intakes still. It did fine while accelerating but just sound real ruff while slowing and actually back fired pretty loud once.
I will ride to work in the morning if the weather looks a little better, we have rain coming up tonight but will for sure jeep you posted thanks a lot!
RS Warrior Bryan just got back from a ride haven’t been able to go out the past few days because of rain but the bike did a lot better, guess something just got wet after washing her and had to dry out.
Awesome! Glad thays all it turned out to be. You can hit those spot with some silicone and thatbwillxhelp to keep any moisture from getting in in the future. Thanks for keeping me posted, stay safe out there!
Haha. Before long your ass is going to have everything. I believe GD is parting out his bike, possibly. You may be able to come up on some parts at a good price.
@@RSWarriorBryan Really? Did he say any particular reason why? You can email me the answer privately if you want. My closest buddie son went down yesterday, someone hit him trying to cross 3 lanes from a side street to be able to get into traffic going the opposite direction. He's in bad shape. 😞
It's actually located near the battery box under the seat. If you remove the battery, you'll find the relay rack. Has your headlight relay, turn signal relay, etc.. It's actually located behind the turn signal relay. Hope that helps. If not, let me know and I'll try and give a little more info. Thanks for watching!
I believe you are able to squeeze them out of the side. That is where the factory tool kit is really handy. With the big air kit, you have a lot more room to get it there. You'll cuss that right, front plug a little more, but should be able to get it out. The hose will be really helpful to get it started as well. Good luck!
Haha. Plugs on this bike are such a pain. That's the only reason I went with the iridium plugs, so that hopefully I can go a lot longer between changes.
Hey brother, thanks for watching and commenting. I believe I left parts and links to everything in the description section below the video. Hope the video and the links help! Thanks again and stay safe out there brother!
Hey, sorry I haven't been able to reply. I've been super busy lately and just got a few minutes to get to some of these. First off, thanks for watching and commenting. As for the windshield, I'd check into Boulevard. They make great ones that a lot of guys swear by. I personally like the look without them and the bugs smacking me in the face help keep me awake. 🤣 thanks again for watching, hope that helps a little bit. Stay safe out there!
My warrior is burning a lot of oil ,yet i don't see any black smoke or oil on the garage floors. I'm topping up with a semi synthetic 10 40 oil ,any opinions would be appreciated
Hey Sean, thanks for watching and commenting. Oil consumption on these bikes is pretty rare. May be a dumb question, but have to make sure. Are you making sure to warm up the motor and do the correct procedure when checking the oil? Are you running a BAK/VBAK? If so, have you looked at the crankcase vent filter or line to see if any is coming from it? I usually take some cardboard or white paper after an oil change, or when looking for a leak and let it sit overnight under the bike. Let's me see pretty quick if anything is leaking. How much oil would you say you're losing in how many miles?
Hi warrior Bryan , having read your reply,I looked at your video on the correct way suspensiond had to remove some.As this is my first cruiser, its a pretty silly mistake and i appreciate your advice and patience. I will keep a close eye on it after each ride for a while until I'm sure all is well.It is an 06 American import and would appear to be standard in every way except for Vance and Hines straight pipes ,a bit rare here in Ireland. Thanks for your help and best of luck to you
Awesome! Better than having a leak that you have to track down and fix. Thanks for checking back in and letting me know. Hope you're getting some good rides in. I have Irish ancestry and would love to visit there someday. Thanks again and stay safe brother!
Do you have any advice for a RS Silverado 1700 that’s carbureted? I want to upgrade my intake to get some more power but the carb is what is Chinese to me
If you have an aftermarket exhaust and install an air intake, you will need to have the carb re-jetted. If you are not familiar with carb jetting, get it to a shop for this tuning. Also I'm assuming your bike is not a Warrior like in this video. I suggest you check the Facebool group Road Star Clinic. Awesome group and very helpful. Good luck!
Haha! I'm in the same exact boat! Federal employee, so no way I can jeopardize my job. Don't think they test, but accidents happen, and I'm sure they do at that point. Thanks for watching the video brother!
