    Carb Springs/Air Correctors

    Sean's Kit comes with Shorter Springs.. Will I feel/hear a difference with this Mod?? Does this affect throttle response? Will the RPM's settle more quickly? And Air Correctors.. Anyone care to explain?? I'm already planning for next season!!:eusa_dance::punk: -KarmaKatt- VMOA 5652

    Carb sync question

    What would happen if you tried to sync carbs on a bike that was running on 3 cylinders as opposed to all 4? Like if you had a bad spark plug wire or something and one cylinder wasn't firing? Would the sync still be valid? Having a discussion about this on the V4 forum and I was told it...

    Has anyone ever tried custom sheetmetal manifolf w/4bb carb?

    This may be a Dumb-ass question. But has anyone ever adapted a small (390 cfm)Holley 4bb carb to a simple sheet metal manifold for a v max? I've done it to mostly BB mopars back in my racing days and it just seems like a natural for this v4.

    Carb issue

    I cleaned the carbs last week and have been running with some seafoam for more than 60 miles but my issue remains. Carbs are already sync too. The bike have an hard time to take the throttle between 1 and 3k rpm. The problem is less with choke or when warm. Also I notice some backfire at low...
