    170 main jet with UFO StreetPro 4-2 and otherwise stock bike?

    I bought an '03 Vmax with the UFO StreetPro 4-2 on it. I've got the carbs apart to clean them because the bike felt and sounded like it was running on three cylinders at 5000+ rpm. (It's fine at light/moderate throttle below 5000.) I noticed the main jets are 170s. I'm concerned those may be...

    Bike will not run off choke

    Ok guys, I have a slight problem. I recently bought a '90 V-Max that only had 2800 actual miles. Yes, the bike has been sitting up for extreme periods of time. The bike actually runs good as long as the choke is on. But will shut off the instant you take the choke off, even after ample enough...

    Gen1 Turbo Vmax videos- sick bike

    Have you guys seen this one? Lots of supercharded max vids floating around, but whenever I search for turbo vmax's, it's always the Gen2 bikes that come up.. So I thought I'd post up this one I found- sounds amazing too. Hope it's not a repost. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3X62PdtiIww&hd=1...

    Bike stalling out

    Just a question for anyone that might know. Lately when riding, when I pull the clutch in to down shift the bike will drop in rpm to the point of stalling. I'm guessing it's a carb problem.? Would I be correct to assume this? How would I solve this problem, as I'm doing a 2000km road trip...

    A must when bringing home a new bike to the stable!!!

    Well this is actually my first post other than introducing myself. About 2 weeks ago I finally took the plunge and purchased a Vmax. I had always wanted one and had been browsing for some time. Well, I pulled the trigger and made a 4 1/2 hr trip one way to pick her up. I actually purchased the...

    Plain old get the carbs off the bike

    after searching and reading buster's sticky about how to remove the carbs from the bike, it appears that it's so totally simple that nobody bothers to write about it. I've removed the air box and scoops etc. I have loosened all 8 clamps under the 4 carbs until I can rotate the clamps with my...

    Failed attempt to steal my bike

    Hey guys, I woke up the other day to notice that someone broke my ignition switch by putting a screwdriver through it. It was fortunate that except from the locked steering wheel I also had a concealed kill switch installed so the thief could not start the bike. But my ignition switch is a...

    New old bike

    I bought a 1986 V-max two weeks ago. My first ever non-Harley. I am learning the V-max from the very basics. It has 20,000 miles and has been in storage a long time. I bought it at auction. It would barely run when I bought it. The carbs were off synch by a mile. I finally got it...

    Sold a bike today..

    Kathy hadn't been riding her Suzuki Burgman scooter much,and we figured it was time, so it went on Craigslist a few days ago. Took a week to sell it, and we got our asking price. Even though it was a scooter, I liked it, and will miss it..
