    Bad mileage/ strong exhaust

    I have a tboost switch that I rarely ever put in the 3000 mode. I do get it up into vboost a bit here and there when getting on the highway or long road but not enough to get 80 miles per tank consistently. I think this is electrical. That's where I'm gonna start. Does MSG make an ignition box...

    Bad mileage/ strong exhaust

    Running all stock with no mods that I can see or know of. I'm doing some electrical work this weekend to the charging/ rr system so I'll take a look at the plug wires. Thanks for the help.

    Vboost toggle switch

    It's a 3000-6000 switch. Wow have to make sure it's in the 6000 position around town or I could end up in someones backseat or truck bed. Thanks guys.

    Bad mileage/ strong exhaust

    I see you guys are getting 100+ miles per tankful of gas. My low light goes on @ 79-82 miles. I haven't pushed it to see how far I can go after that but it seems not far. I've leaned it out to just over 1 turn out (extremely lean by what I read here) and still I am getting a very strong exhaust...

    Hot no start, charging/battery issues

    I've seen some of the posts on starter/hot start issues. Here's what I'm experiencing; Hot starting got worse. Won't crank at all now when hot. Battery place checked the battery and the charging system. Battery @ 13 not running, same @ idle and high 12's at 3500 rpm's. Battery guy says probably...

    What size PVC to put the fork seals back in?

    I used the old fork seals to drive the new ones down, lightly tapping the seal from all sides with a flat center punch. They sit high enough after you seat the new ones to pull out with your fingers. Make sure the print side of the seal is up and rub inside and out with new fork oil before...

    sync issues

    Pulled the carbs back off, checked linkage, bench sync'd, reinstalled, checked all boots and clamps and started right up and purred. Gonna do a real sync now and get it lined up. Thanks for the help SDT.

    sync issues

    There was also a lot of oil covering the carbs and intakes that leaked from the valve cover gaskets. Even the intakes in the head had oil stuck to the sides.The boots weren't that tight on the Vboost and main intakes before I started. Could this be part of the problem? I got rid of most of the...

    sync issues

    The bike ran well before I started all this. There was a bit of a knock at idle which sounded like a sync issue. Before I started to play with the sync screws it idled fairly well, even after I reinstalled the carbs after cleaning them. This idle problem started after I started the sync and...

    sync issues

    OK, so here's what has been done to date; 93 Cal Vmax w/ 25,000 miles Checked valve clearences and are fine. Carbs were covered with oil from leaking valve covers so pulled them apart and cleaned, checked fuel level and reinstalled after replacing valve cover gaskets. Went to sync and...

    Vboost toggle switch

    So I bought a 93 Max and when I asked the guy about the toggle switch on the throttle holder he told me that 93 was the first year to put that toggle switch in. I knew he was telling a story, or as I found out later, was told that. So I figured, by the miles and the guy having the bike for 2...
