    85 max with an 83 venture ecm

    I have a budy with a vmax that cuts out at 4k, tach dives to 0 and recently found out it has an 83 venture ecm. Are there any problems with ecm in this bike? What are some common causes for a bikes tach to dive like its been unplugged?

    85 Max running horrible under acceleration

    It was lean Installed some 42.5 jets at 1.5 turns out on the screw and we are back to lifting the tire in second gear!! oh and for the record I was looking at the air jets being a 90 and a 170 the main is a 165 and now pilot is a 42.5, everything else was stock and a little dirty. Jeremy

    85 Max running horrible under acceleration

    Got it figured out, after riding with new plugs in it i have determined that its lean. It is in the mid to lower 50's here and after talking to a local shop owner he said he has had to increase jet sizes on the 85 and 86 maxes due to cold weather. The bike will not even rev past 5 grand...

    85 Max running horrible under acceleration

    Got it put back together. I dont know what brand jet they are, but after the clean up it idles much smoother. And now I have also noticed that my idle is slightly higher than it was before, sitting now at 1050 as compared to 800. The bike now starts easier and the off idle response is MUCH...

    85 Max running horrible under acceleration

    So Im cleaning my carbs and discover that it has 90 pilots and 170 mains?? My book says it should have 150's and 152.5s amd 37.5 pilots. the only change on the bike is it has the k and n drop in and it has super trapp slip ons. Any reason the previous owner would put huge jets in it like...

    85 Max running horrible under acceleration

    I will dig into it tonight and see whats up. I cant believe it could happen just like that, the bike ran perfect and then bam. It was great off idle but as soon as I would goose on it, it would miss and stutter like an ignition problem. I did notice ever since it got cold it would snap or...

    exhaust popping only when cold w/ choke on

    I am assuming its because of the wasted spark system is igniting the extra fuel in the cylinder but I could be wrong. Anybody else have issues like this. I just noticed it once it got colder out here. Only when the bike is cold, and when I have to have the choke on, after its warm it...

    First longer ride today, not to impressed with ride

    you need to adjust the head bearings, you def. need a rear tire and you should also dial in the rear suspension for your weight per the manual. after that your bike should be smooth as glass up to 130+ like mine is.

    oil light comes on

    Yup, If I am really in it shifting at redline the oil light will come on and stay on for alot longer than I would like to see. Is that normal? and yes the oil is filled to the top of the sight glass when the bike is on the center stand. Jeremy
