Hey guys. I've been offered a 1997 VMax. Under 12k showing. A couple of cosmetic modifications and a 4/2 Kerker exhaust. The bike is nice but as yet unridden. What's a ballpark on value ? I paid $3500 last year for an 07 with 15k. Thoughts would be appreciated
Sorry for the super late reply, I've been having health issues. When I said that there was no difference when I sprayed carb cleaner, this was during the "peashooter" clean. Left front cylinder didn't stumble whereas the other three did. Front left is firing but just not efficiently under...
It is firing Mr Max, just not running as hot as the other down pipes so I figured I'd swap out plugs and wires as a first step. Peashootered the carbs and checked the AF screws .
V-Boost is still active @Fire-medic . Carb work was done by the PO so I have no direct knowledge of the exact work done but I do have paperwork appertaining to the modifications done at the time. Stage 6 appears to be a re-jetting done when the overbore was done back in 2007. I've had the bike...
Hard to tell @julian. I held the motor at a steady 4500 RPM for a minute or so but in a static situation. Bike misfires on the road in a roll on situation but I've not put her under load after the above mentioned maintenance. I doubt that compression is an issue. The cylinder is firing but not...
Hi folks. 2007 gen 1 Vmax owner. Bike is punched out to 1426 cc. Stage 6 carb upgrade. K&N filters and 4-1 Kerker race pipe. My issue is a stumble on the front left cylinder. The exhaust pipe is noticeably cooler. Hot but cooler than the others. I've replaced the plug wires and plugs (NGK). Pea...
So I last rode my 07 VMax Gen 1 last weekend with no issues. Started her today and the bike fired right up but then after about 5 seconds the idle shot up to 3000 or so. Almost like the choke was engaged (It wasn't). Blipped the throttle and it briefly came down to normal but then went back to a...
I'll be 61 this November. I have the last year Gen 1 Vmax (2007). Over bored to 1420 cc with stage 6 carburation and Kerker race pipe. Blindingly fast in a straight line but handles like a soapy dick in a bathtub. Nothing ever gets past it though. The rush is indescribable !!
