Just sett the mixtures on my carbs after striping them down. 2 3/4 for 3 of them and 5 1/4 for the left rear one . Rechecked it 3 times . Using card tune.am i missing something ?. Didnt think there should be that mutch differance.

I put my carbtune gauges away and got a cheap sett of biketek ones and they work fine vacuum all set at 200mm.

The bike tek gauges have a little damper valve on them were as carbtune 2 gauges have a insert. Allso carbtune need higher vacuum to work. Not to good on a vmax. Just flushed the tank out and got rid of the nasty after market petrol filter. Waiting for the new filter to arrive then its time...

Well put the new vac gauges on and got a reading they are not far out . So sett them and it still runns like shit. Think i will play with the mixture screws tomorrow if that dont work its carbs off again and restripped.

My location is whitehaven cumbria england. And i have had the bike for 20 years . I have ordered a cheap set of bike tek gauges .so i will find out if its the gauges or some thing else. It could just be the dampers in the pipes closed up with age and not giving the correct reading. But i will...

I have just had a look at the v boost and it looks as if its working right when the ignition is turned on and off. Think i will get some new gauges and try them .

I have had and used the vacuum gauges for 20 years but not in the last 10 . If i take the restrictors out the bars jump up and down. But when in theres nothing till 2k revs apx. You said about v boost butterflies . Is there a check to do to see if there closing without taking the carbs out ?

I have a vmax 91 full power. And its doing the same . My carbtune is not reading untill i get to 2000 reves. Did you find out what the problem was ? Tony

I must be losing the plot as it was over 15 years ago i did it . Ok every one is saying its a 900 wheel and the spindle is not the same . Yor better checking on the vmax club site

A second hand rear 600 diversion wheel about £50to£100 and a couple of spacers or as i did washers . Not to expensive.

I just fitted a yamaha 600 diversion 17 wheel to the rear years ago no problems.

Any one used the xtream 600 battery ?
