    1986 vmax $2500

    Now BO Was having a hard time starting when I rode it today, so I pulled it apart and my stators gone bad. I'm really looking to get rid of the bike before I leave in March so I'm now opening the bike to B.O. to whomever is interested. You'll need a trailer to get the bike but I'm currently...

    1986 vmax $2500

    Located in Monterey, CA (Bay Area) I'm looking to sell the bike as I'll be leaving fairly soon in the future and am not really looking to drag this bike around with me and would rather get it into hands that will be able to take better care of it than me. Upgraded the charging system with...

    Sputtering at certain RPMs?

    Put the airbox Y on and it seemed to smooth out the operation to an extent I really didnt believe possible from a 5$ plastic piece. There are still some odd spots so I may buy a few 1/4 inch washers and shim it up a bit to see what it does. But she runs gorgeous, better than I could have expected!

    Sputtering at certain RPMs?

    So im picking up the airbox Y and I hope this will be the final solution to my vmax woes. I'll let y'all know how it ends up turning out once I get it from CaptainKyle. Really wish I could give it a shot this weekend, but I guess patience is a virtue:rofl_200:

    Sputtering at certain RPMs?

    I have intake hoses but currently no T on my airbox, would it make that big of a deal, and if so, would someone have an extra I could pick up? Because if that fixes that odd hesitation in there I would be so happy. Who cares about 5% extra air flow when its making me lose power in my 5k range.

    Sputtering at certain RPMs?

    The bike has always seemed to have a dead spot there with that much throttle, so I'm not entirely sure if its just a problem with the carbs themselves that I wasn't able to fix while I had them cracked open. I have ran it through the shotgun with no luck, I may just resort sending it to danny...

    Sputtering at certain RPMs?

    Finally got my VMAX out to where I'm currently living (Cali) so now I can ride her anytime I need to. I've been plagued with issues getting a good tune on this bike and I can never seem to get my little tuning woes to go away. When I drive the bike the exhaust note will change around 5.5K rpm to...

    Losing power?

    I'm no expert on these kind of things, I have no idea what stock slides look like on the vmax, any help?:hmmm:

    Losing power?

    Alright, while I was inspecting my slides taking the shims off I noticed there were two holes. One where the needle goes through and one where nothing goes through. I assume this means my slides have been drilled? Would this effect my performance on a now stock setup? from what I believe was a...

    Losing power?

    Yea it seems as though, but shimming my needles didn't make a noticable difference. I'll pull the plugs and see what they look like but I'm not entirely sure its my needle that needs adjusting. Anything else that would affect the needle range?

    Losing power?

    Haven't gotten around to do a reading of the spark plugs yet - I may pull one and see what I get. It seems odd that my mains would mess so much with my 5-7 grand response. Once I move above 7 grand I get full power and no noticeable issue below 5 grand. It just is jumpy and inconsistent between...

    Losing power?

    Currently using supertrapp black slips with 9 disks in each side. Using stock air box with y removed and k/n air filter
  18. K

    Losing power?

    I got those hoses installed, the mains are 147.5 mikuni. Stock springs, needles, and the A/F screws are at 2.5 turns each.

    Losing power?

    UPDATE: I rebuilt my carbs and moved back to stock jetting and everything. Got them synced and I'm still getting an odd sound/power return at around 5-7 grand. the bike will lurch a bit and not give me full power. It runs perfectly fine out of that rpm. I tried shimming the needles out a bit to...

    Losing power?

    Very true, but these guys are pretty good it's just the labor costs that kill me. Rather go through you guys, it's way better:punk:
