    Sounds right up my ally :D If I ask auto zone for ones that fit should they pull right up?

    Das nightmare has returned lol

    So I fixed the throttle cable sync between both sides and that made a huge improvement, then I turned all the air screws in and back out 3/4 turn, that also made a huge improvement. After that, I finally brought her out for some road testing. Symptoms: - Sometimes it will come off idle...

    Woohoo! Fixed the carbs

    I have a 300 budget for next phase, I have 90 set aside for Bell Vortex helmet, 50 for battery, 15 for some weather proof bonnets to put on top of the velocity stacks when it rains at school, and the rest is undecided so far :p

    Woohoo! Fixed the carbs

    Yea, I just looked it up and the battery I have currently (old lawn mower battery) is only 225 CCA Guess I'm going with the 37$ upgrade hahah Will the Apex battery crank too fast for the clutch and startor to handle?

    Woohoo! Fixed the carbs

    Awesome! I'll order the Apex tomorrow, then. I assume it fits into the stock area without any trouble? And thanks for the link, it doesn't look too hard to install

    Woohoo! Fixed the carbs

    I am driving the time bomb! xD But only on 10 mile trips to school and back. WOW! 38$ for a sealed battery isn't bad, how does that stack up compared to the odyssey? How much is the new starter? I don't need one currently but I might soon so it'd be good to know haha. I know when the motor is...

    Woohoo! Fixed the carbs

    I still need to drain the bowls and such, but I turned all 4 air screws in then 3/4 turn out and the mystery problem totally went away xD Also, it may just be how carb bikes are, but say I'm cruising along at X rpm, it will feel like the motor is weak initially when I touch the throttle, it...

    Indexed or notched steering

    I am wondering if I have the same problem, how can I check it? At low speed it seems to favor the side I start to turn to and is hard to steer back to straight... But I have only ridden dirt bikes and my old 07 CBR before so I just assumed this was a cruiser thing.

    Could it be the AP?

    Is the Accelerator Pump needed to get off idle while under load on Vgas set ups? Because only the front right one is shooting. Quick run down of my symptoms again: When it starts it will idle very smooth and has expected power while letting the clutch out at idle, but when I turn the throttle...

    Advice on buying my first Vmax

    I have a corbin seat and it's very comfortable! I've never sat on a stock seat for comparison though

    Advice on buying my first Vmax

    Didn't see this, I'd honestly buy this only because the 2nd gear alone is over 1k to do and I haven't found miles to be a big deal, especially on older ones Again, let us know what shipping options you find

    Advice on buying my first Vmax

    Sean's value is based off of condition, originality, and miles. And if those are your concerns it looks to be a great deal! If you want to do the mods yourself and really make it your own then that's the way to go. If you want to save money in the long run then look for something that has...

    Seafoam or clean?

    Advice on buying my first Vmax

    Someone on here has an 85 with 130k + I believe with no significant motor work Clean bike and fair price you have there, Sean As for overhaul, the motor was probably rebuilt at those miles (a good thing) ask for a receipt

    Seafoam or clean?

    Awesome! We'll I think I'll go ahead and let the fuel additives take their course. Meanwhile, where can I get a cheap siphon to get the old gas out? I want to get fresh gas in and a new fuel filter. For the fuel filter, do I just find one that looks the same?

    Seafoam or clean?

    Yesterday I changed the oil, tuned brake lines, got my rear tire shipped in, and decided to tackle a bit of carb diagnosis. As it turns out, the right two vgas carbs were about 3k rpm worth of slack separate from the left side... so I adjusted the left side to match the right and now they...

    I think this is a problem....

    Wel if I get rid of the vgas I'm definitely going to replace it with either stage 7 or Morley's because of the exhaust system

    I think this is a problem....

    If anyone has a spare battery that will fit the stock slot I'll pay for shipping :D I'd like to move it for safety but I'm next to broke right now xD The MVA hit me with a $190 charge for the title transfer and tags :bang head:
