fuel

Put in the Morley stage 7 jet kit and marks custom 4 to 2 exhaust over the winter. The bike has run great. It does run a little rich so I backed the clip off the fuel needle one notch. Helped out a little. Ran the bike for 2 months and felt fine. Just ran it the day for 150 miles and the last 20...

Is the fuel pump relay the same for all years of the V-max? Mine is an 85. I can't find it on the parts diagrams.

I'm probably going the Tourtank route for a bigger gas capacity and can't find the size of fuel hose to order for my 04? Tried searching the various forums, Google etc. Thanks. Jack.

Hey! New to the Forum; hoping for some good feedback. Sorry but I'd accidentally posted this in the wrong place yesterday. Rookie mistake!!! I have an '85 VMax that's been rebuilt top to bottom and has worked perfect the last 3 years. This morning it left me stranded for the first time. I was...

Hey! New to the Forum; hoping for some good feedback. I have an '85 VMax that's been rebuilt top to bottom and has worked perfect the last 3 years. This morning it left me stranded for the first time. I was in a haul ass hurry because I was late for work so I'd been cruising at about 85 (faster...

Just got a notice that Powdercoat provider is putting their fuel tank sealant keys at 40% off which is substantial. You can actually get these in colors if you can believe that! Check out Caswell.inc for their website and sale info. When in doubt...Gas it !!!

Anybody have anyinfo on a bigger fuel tank for the gen 1? Pictures and a source would be great! Thanks much!

Lack of fuel? I ordered and install the k&n filters (four coins for a vmax without the air box) – and ride it to a long trip so the engine was worm and everything….. In idle RPM everything sound good, but when I ride it in the range of 4000 rpm I felt that the engine choking and not working...

Coming home from work the other night on the freeway doing about 75 m.p.h., my VMAX started to sputter in 5th gear like it would do when the low fuel light comes on when having to switch to RES. Confused, :ummm:I still switched the fuel selector to RES hoping that maybe the low fuel level light...

Hello. Great forum!!! First time posting here, hope correct spot. Anyway, I have small amount of fuel leaking from the drain screw on my left side rear carb. Is there an o-ring that goes on the screw? Or is my bowl flooded? Just bought the bike and learning. My Y on airbox is missing causing it...

First, my pilot fuel jets are marked 40 whereas I think stock size is like 37.5? Any reason why the PO would have put a larger one in and should I bother going back to stock or can I just screw in my A/F screws a bit to compensate? Secondly, how much of a difference does half a clip on a...

Hey guys, the last couple of times I've ridden the Max there has been a cylinder misfire from cold which goes away after about five minutes of riding. my wife (following me on her Bonneville) said the bike smelled a little of unburnt fuel. This morning I started the bike and was rewarded with...

Occasionally when I come to a stop and then try to take off again, the bike will cut off like it has run out of gas but it will start and idle just fine. As soon as I give it some throttle, it will die again. I then have to cut the motor, take off the gas cap (tons of suction) put the cap back...

Hi Guys, I picked up a 1997 Vmax over christmas. Very fun to ride but hard on fuel. I see the fuel light at 119km It is running very rich. In the morning when I try to start, I apply the choke and it fires once then just cranks. I have to give it alittle throttle then she idles fine. I also...

max died on a ride yesterday, trailered home, thought the fuel pump went out. Call me stupid, but i think i just ran out of gas, however... My fuel light just came on about a mile before it died. i also just switched to reserve at the same time the light came on. I put a gallon of gas in today...

does anybody know if there is a aftermarket larger fuel tank for the 2nd gen vmax:ummm:

Hey guys I'm looking for a little help. I just undid my DD modification, put in fresh oil, buttoned everything back up and went to test it out. She's a no start. WTF? Ugly coincidence? I get no Vboost servo, I hear no fuel pump, I get no solenoid action. I have instrument lights and...

Bad Post.. Sorry sorry for the double post

I know the " golden shower" was :rofl_200:a basket case , but I've done one long trip to the burt munroe rally, 4000ks, and being service time i put a new fuel filter in, the old one looked ok from the top, but once removed and turned over..... It was half full of fine sediment. Wow . Anyway...

I've got an 85 with a ton of mods from previous owners. I'm still trying to sort out what all has been done to the bike internally and probably never will. Heres what I do know Stage 7 kit drilled/modded stock exhaust fan only works with toggle switch Apparently it only gets 140kms or...
