Don't know why this posted 3 times. Sorry.

The height of the outriggers can be changed. The actual angle of the outriggers cannot. You can raise or lower the outriggers in 2 places. First place is a turnbuckle near the outrigger wheels. The ot ...

A long time ago I owned pulse # 61. I removed and replaced the windshield several times. It's not easy just takes some care, patience and a gallon of Windex or some other soapy liquid. I used the ori ...

Looks nice but it seems to have motorcycle handle bars instead of a steering wheel. Usually this means that the entire original front end has been replaced with motorcycle forks and suspension.

Steve, it's been a long time but I bought all these items from J C Whitney.

From the Pulse main page click on Don Muddiman's repair tips. On Don's page you will find lot's of pics of the rear wheel assembly. Some pics will need to be blown up for clarity.. The wheel and sproc ...

My Pulse #61, which I sold a while ago, had the Yamaha 400 until I put in a Kawasaki, motor had the original Yamaha 400 speedo sending unit on the front wheel. I'm not sure if the actual toothed gear ...

How's your front tire? Old and worn? What about tire pressure? Do you have play in your steering box?

How are your outriggers set? If they are too low you can be bouncing from one outrigger t ...

I put a Kawasaki ZX-750 in Pulse #61. I bought a wrecked bike for $800. I made the motor mounts and bought a radiator from Ebay. The original radiator was destroyed in the wreck. Other stuff like rad ...

Some people have used the big Honda in place of the original Yamaha 400. Some people have used water cooled sport bike motors instead.

To install the big Honda you basically cut the frame of your P ...

Is your clutch operated by cable or hydraulic? If it is hydraulic then you might need to rebuild either the clutch master cylinder which is activated by the foot pedal or the slave cylinder which is ...

Something to check on the overheating. When I put a 750 Kawasaki in Pulse #61 it overheated quickly at first. The problem turned out to be air in the cooling system. If there is air in the cooling sys ...

I would be checking where the ground cable is connected to the frame. Make sure that's clean. That's easy to do.
If that's OK clip a volt meter to the positive solenoid terminal and to the frame. Hav ...

From what I read you are trying to design an ultra light, efficient vehicle with a lay out similar to the Pulse. The only idea you hope to use from the Pulse is the 2 wheels inline to minimize frictio ...

If you do a Google search for "Revolutionary new motorcycle invented" every hit is for the Ecomobile. The Ecomobile is a really neat idea, but it is nothing like a Pulse. It is essentially a ...

Actually that new motorcycle is an Ecomobile. The prototype was built in 1981. They have been sold in Europe for years. The big drawback has been the price. Like in the high $80K range. There are only ...

J C Whitney has the windshield molding. Look at the cross section of your old one and get the same one from J C. They have several versions.

Have you tried bleeding the brakes?

This may sound silly but make absolutely sure that your hauler knows that your Pulse has to be shipped on a flat floor. When I had #61 shipped from Oklahoma to Florida several auto shippers backed out ...

Pete, about the air shock straps: As you mentioned when you drive your Pulse around a corner it will rise up as the air shocks unload and for a while it will ride high until the air shocks settle back ...

When I had Pulse #61,it originally had coil over shocks front and rear. I installed air shocks in the rear only to give me the ability to adjust ride heighth for one passenger or two. Personally I thi ...

I have seen this Pulse #189 in real life several times. The first time I saw it, it was spread all over Jack's Cycle Salvage in Sanford Florida. If you look at the auction, you can see a picture that ...
