running

My 89 Again.... Neverending Terror Stories... If i were to let the bike set for any length of time, I'd expect the fuel level to drop in the carbs and the fuel pump would run for 5 seconds at "Key On". Then, I'd expect the pump to run at start up until the carbs filled up. If I shut the bike...

So this bike has been through a frame up rebuild. I redid trans but did not touch top end or timing. I went through the carbs and rebuilt them and also installed new diaphrams for all the slides. Just put new marks exhaust on tonight and fired it up and went to sync carbs and thats when...

Hey, I have rear turn signals that can work as running lights but I'm not sure of how to wire them in. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Ed

Guys, you haven't heard much from me, but the Max has been running well and is (for now) modded the way I want it. But, now I actually need to do something besides normal maintenance. Today on the way home from work after a VERY spirited run up through 4 gears, suddenly the bike is running...

is anyone on here running an otec sump? I have a chance to purchase one cheep. Gannon

I rode the bike yesterday and she ran just fine. Now I get ready to jump on the bike and go to the gym and she doesn't run for sh*t! I don't know why. I took off the fuel filter to see if there's any blockages, nope all clear. I checked the fuel line to see if it's kinked or loose, nope nice and...

I noticed on the way home that my running light are working, but when i tap the brakes the lights don't light up at all. Running lights on the whole time. I checked the fuses under the air filter cover. They were fine. Also trying to find the other fuse box. Wondering if bulbs are about outta...

Hello all. It was suggested that I come here for help with my '92 Max. Declining health has kept me off two wheels for some time now and I finally pulled the Yammy out of the shed for some tinkering. Here is the story. I bought the bike about three years ago and it never seemed to run quite...

so i like to do things the hard way... big deal ;] still need to dial in the carbs. (anyone have a carb-tune i can borrow?):worthy: installed new-to-me radiator, fan and end covers. created my own replacement brake light and will install license plate lights tomorrow. red led running lights...

My turn signals are on like running day lights, is this right?

Ideas?

I just installed a Givi flyscreen (I like it) but it torqued the LED signals I had on there to a point where one was stripped. I temporarily re-installed the factory front indicators. But, I made me think that I acually like the big lights up front, but would like them even more if I could...

i have a 2002 max with a magnacharger on it and a holly carb after about 40 kms all 4 plugs are all dry fouled , just baught it so im a bit new to the vmax anybody help me out? thnaks

I washed the bike 3 days ago and pressure washed it. i know thatsa no no. i didnt hold it close just blowing the wheels out and light on the motor. At the moment it starts fine and runs decent but when im throttling it has a slight miss occasionally with a pop through i think one of the carbs. i...

I just changed my yamalube over to amsoil (20w50 to 20w50 amsoil) and also changed my coolant (regular prestone for aluminium engines). Bike is now running closer to the hot zone when riding around subdivision slowly and the fan has not yet turned on. I bled the coolant and seemed to be no...

So... I know a handful of you guys have been working with my on the issues I've been having with my Vmax. My last update was that I got the carb sync tool on Wednesday and in 10 minutes the bike was running fantastic. This morning I went to take the bike to work and it fired right up with the...

I have a 1997 vmax that I bought last year, it has 23,000 miles on it. I had a little trouble with the carbs shortly after I bought it, but I did the peashooter thing and it seemed to clean it up pretty good. Drove it all last summer, garaged it for the winter and this spring it is giving me...

what in that case? Air/fuel mixture screw? THANX

Ok so many of you may have read my post from this morning regarding my great ride yesterday. Well, I just finished changing the engine oil and the rear end gear oil. Then I went to start the bike and it was very difficult to get started. The choke wasn't working as it normally does. The more...

Hey guys, about to pull the plug on some dual intensity led rear turn signals. My intent is to have them function as both running and turn signals. Wiring the turn signal portion will be straight forward. My question is on the running light wire. I was probably going to just tap into the...
