higher

Will fixing the bulging o-ring cause a slight increase in pressure across the whole range? Before replacing, pressure would hit 60psi on a cold startup & idle at 2-4 when hot. It's hitting 65 cold & idle is 8 now. It tops out at 65 revving the motor. The fitting for the oil galley plug from...

Soldered the crimp because I was at 12.3 volts at idle and not much better at 2500 rpm. After the fix, I am getting mid 13s at idle. Goes up to 14.6 at around 2200, then starts dropping steadily back to about 13v at 5k rpms. Is this right? The bike has a finned black rr, but it is a 4 wire shunt...

Hi, From reading a lot of articles on the internet, it seems the higher octane fuel you run, the farther you can advance your ignition. Normally the lowest octane you can put in the Vmax is 86. Since I live in the Netherlands and we have only 95 and 98 octane (nothing lower), it seems to make...

is there a higher CCA (cold cranking amp) battery than stock for the Vmax?

Ok, so ever since my tire fiasco at the VMOA rally in Eureka Springs, I have been running a Metz 140/90/15 ( all I could get at the time). I have noticed that my top end speed has dropped 5 or 6 mph (GPSed) due to the shorter tire. Now I am going to replace both front and rear tires, and am...

Was wondering if I should change jets for a trip into higher elevation I'm going on soon. I have Morley's jet kit, Holeshot exhaust, 165 mains, 2 shims under stock needles, stage 7 springs. Carbs are sync'd, new plugs, fresh oil change. Bike runs great. I'm going from about 1500 ft to about 3500...

Just read a post saying the max needs higher rpm? Mine only has 6,000 on it but driven slow I am sure at low rpm's and the last few hundred I cruise at low rpm's but you guys say better to cruise around 4,000rpm? That correct? Is fine by me just thought I was being nice to it

Hope I dont start some kind of war here.:whistlin: I have read up on the subject and there seems to be quite a bit of disagreement on whether or not a higher spark voltage is good or bad. :confused2: Just wondering what the experts here have experienced. Reason for asking is wanting to get...
