    Much needed help from you carb experts

    Thanks for all the feedback guys. I ended up dropping the bike off at a local shop so they can try to figure it out. Let's see what they can come up with besides a big bill. I will keep you posted as to the results.

    Much needed help from you carb experts

    The fuel filter and lines are good. The tank is clean. When I drain the bowls there is no sediment. As a matter of fact, I thought about that and drained the whole tank via the pump and there was no sediment either. If it were a clogged filter wouldn't that effect the top end more than the...

    Much needed help from you carb experts

    I have been having some serious running issues with my 05 lately. I have COP's, stage 1 kit, and K&N filter with the tunnel removed from the top of the airbox. No other engine mods. My bike had been sitting dormant for a couple of months during the heat wave called Phoenix and when I started it...

    Need some assistance please

    OK, so this weekend I did the shotgun, took off the "Y" piece on the airbox and moved the main jet needle up one notch (it was in the second groove from the tapered end). Looks like this cleared up the problem. Too rich during the period the main needle kicks in. Thanks for all the help guys.

    Need some assistance please

    I poured half a can of Seafoam into the fuel before I rode to work this morning. Still doing it but not as bad. I will have to check out the carbs this weekend. I will check the slides and do the peashooter and pull the diaphrams at the same time. I am running a newer K&N filter that is in great...

    Need some assistance please

    It is idling fine and doesn't run like a circuit is clogged. It has great acceleration up to 3,000 rpm, then starts its hesitation up to 4,500, then runs fine again.

    Need some assistance please

    I have used the store the last two fill ups. It was running good before this. I added Seafoam to the tank before this one and the results were the same, hesitation. It is getting a little warmer here but nothing significant. I ride my Max at least twice a week, so it hasn't been sitting around...

    Need some assistance please

    I have some running issues that I can't quite figure out. On hard acceleration, my Max is crapping out between 3000-4500 RPM. Anything prior to or after is fine with no hesitation. Could it be the gas? It is fresh, but it is from one of those convenience store pumps. Any ideas???:ummm::confused2:

    Who has the 20th Anniversary Model

    #11 here. Was totaled when someone rear ended me in December. I bought the bike back for $900, put another $1000 into it and it is like new now. Did all the work myself and had a blast rebuilding it. Basically, after the insurance paid off, I have zero dollars in the bike.

    UFO Dragster Pipes and Stage 7 kit

    I currently have a Kerker 4 into 1 system with a K&N filter. I am looking to go to UFO Dragster pipes with a full Stage 7 kit. Can anyone tell me what kind of power gains I can expect and what the pros and cons would be to go to this setup. I believe the UFO setup would be quite a bit louder...

    Looking for ideas on tail lamp conversions

    I am looking for some feedback from those of you that have changed out that bulky V-Max tail lamp for one of the nice LED lamps that I am seeing out there. I am looking to change mine out, but do not want to do any major modifications to accomplish this. Any ideas???:ummm:

    Have questions for 2005 Vmax owners

    I am trying to determine if certain parts on my 2005 have been changed out. They just seem to be out of place. First, is the front frame cross brace (one above oil filter) mat black to match the frame or is it gloss black? Also, are the upper and lower tanks on the radiator mat black or gloss...

    Front fork diameter and frame differences

    Thanks guys, I thought so on the forks but wasn't sure about the frame. When I was researching the forks on-line, some sites had the forks at 40mm and I new they were upgraded to 43mm at some point. My 2005 that was rear-ended in December was totaled...bent frame and a $8800 estimate. I am...
