Ok I'll test it tomorrow at 4000 revs and yes I set the float levels and I suppose **** it that I'll be pulling the carbs off again.Thanks Firemedic for the tip.Cheers Kevman.lol

Greetings one and all.I have been having huge problems with the bike not running right.So the carbs were rebuilt,cv diaphragms replaced with used ones off my other carbs,an open circuit wire on the left front cop wiring was repaired.Now the left rear wasn't firing so my testing consisted of...

I bought a pair of extensions from Extreme Creations to suit th 05 Suzuki front end that I put on my 88 MOTO Guzzi Le Mans 1000.Absolutely a fine pieces of engineering.Screwed straight in with no problems and the directions were very easy to follow and do.I think they even had a video to show...

Well the battery would be the first place to start with.Check your voltage across the terminals,then have a look at the main fuses to make sure they're ok.Battery should have 12.6 volts and have clean terminals.If you have a flat battery then you may have a charging problem.Using a test light...

Thanks for the replies and the correct answers.I had loosened the big brass jet but hadn't removed it.So they are now apart and the overhaul can continue on it's merry way.Again thanks very much Maleko and Fire Medic.Cheers Kevman.And thanks to NaughtyG for his writeup on the v4 forum.

Ok I had dramas with the carbs..so I pulled them off the bike and started dismantling them.I have reached the point of removing the jet block and it seems stuck.I tried levering it off with a large screwdriver but it doesn't want to budge.Any ideas on how to remove them would be great.Thanks...

The solder doesn't work well and the only thing that holds them together is the hot glue.A customer used some on his boat wiring and proved to be a pain to redo.The crimps without solder and heat shrink on them that you crimp and then heat work really well.Though some of the cheaper versions...

But his singlet and probably his thongs are colour matched to the bike.:biglaugh:Kevman.

Only in America,in Australia one of our most popular beers is xxxx or XXXX that looks better or on the other hand x's used to mean kisses and o's hugs.It's all in the cultural differences that make the world go round.Kevman.

Well not today but over the last 2 weeks I pulled the front end apart and fitted new fork seals,ATF instead of fork oil,new steering head bearings and repainted the mudguard,fork brace,upper and lower triples and the faux tank cover.And added red paint to the recessed letters.I also fitted a VDO...

As far as Oz goes as a place to ride a motorbike Tasmania as a whole is according to my friends who spent 2 weeks touring there as absolutely fantastic .Great roads,scenery,people,food,alcohol,pubs and beer and more beer and fishing.I have only done the East coast from Port Douglas to Canberra...

Greetings vmaxxers I was on Amazon and found this cdi which might come in handy for someone.Cheers Kevman https://www.amazon.com/MODULE-FITS-YAMAHA-VMAX-3JP-82305-12-00/dp/B0724Z22CK/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1507205351&sr=1-2-spons&keywords=vmax+1200&psc=1

I used a t-boost for years and had no problems with it.The vboost kicks in at 3000 rpm and I enjoyed the seat of the pants feeling of power lower in the revs.Some guys say that having the vboost coming in at 3000 loses power overall but each to his own.Cheers Kevman.

There was a discussion awhile ago and the squeak was coming from the false tank cover.So remove and go for a ride and see if it disappears.Never know it might work.Cheers Kevman.

Over the last couple of weeks I have repaired the clutch slave cylinder,replaced the clutch master with an 03 FJR 1300 unit,Painted the rear guard black and redid the headlights using projector lights for low beam and a HID spotlight for high beam mounted on a piece of bent aluminium.A bit rough...

I had a Bandit 1200 GSF before I bought the Vmax and it was a fun bike to ride.I toured on it,blasted through the mountain roads,to work and play.It didn't do everything fantastic but was a great all round bike.Especially loved to mono everytime I watched the ghostrider do his thing I would go...

How much are your preload caps with postage to Cairns,4870 Queensland Australia? Thanks Kevman.

Australian ebay has some parts and if you give me your vin number I can ask at the local yammie dealer and find out what's left in the spare parts.Cheers Kevman.

Impressive ! I have seen others similar to this but kudos for doing it yourself and it does look good.Cheers Kevman.
