cleaning

Ok, so my Carbtune Pro has arrived and I've finally got time to go at the carbs.... I'll preface with the following statement: I've never done this before and know nothing more that what I have researched on this forum and on the net. However I feel confident enough that I'm not 'afraid' to...

I pulled into a parking lot that had fresh tar and stone chips put down. ARRGH! Ya think they'd put up a sign or something. Anyways, now I have specs of tar hidden all over the place. My cleaning arsenal is not up to task. My best results thus far have been with WD40. Anyone have...

I'm getting married this Saturday and our photographer said she would do some pics of us and the Vmax, and that means getting her cleaned up (talking about the bike):biglaugh:. The last owner rode it on dirt, and its still got some grunge in all the nooks of the motor. I heard simple green was...

It's been a few years ( 7 ) since I owned my last VMAX, now a days what are the best products to use for cleaning my new baby. I'd be curious to hear what is considered the best wax too.. Thanks

For all of us that have stock wheels that look like crap. I have found the product for us today!!! Aluminum Brightner by Burnishine 1800-837-8140 or www.weiman.com it is sold at Ace Hardware $7.99 for a bottle! Cleans all that crap out of the groves that we just can't do. This is the best my...

Can someone give me any tips/suggestions for cleaning the connectors on my wireing harness? I want to run thru my harness to ensure I have good connections. Thanks Jim

Hey all, Some of the members (who have met me and seen my rides) know that I am uber anal about my 2 and 4 wheeled toys. I am VERY picky about what I use on them and how they are treated. Well I used to think I was all alone and the only one that went WAY past the extreme with these things...

Is there a thread on here that goes through cleaning out your carbs step by step. I have done the Shotgun twice, Peashooter once, opened up the bowls and shot carb cleaner on the float needles as well as in their seats. I?ve got an 07 MAX with 1445 miles, with K&N filter, Supertrapp slip-ons...

This isn't a mod, just something handy I stumbled across. If you have slash cut mufflers like me, you know what a drag it is to get the insides of em clean every week or so, but if you want Max to look boulevard fresh on saturday night it's gotta get done. It's always taken me a shitload of...

Where do I find the peashooter method? Thanks

Anbody know how many hours flat rate book shows for carb teardown and clean?

I have a bunch of spark plugs that got fouled when I had problems with my carbs, I got some of the black off, is there a solution or product that I can apply to clean them. Thanks, Ron :ummm:

Good day to all, couple of questions just tore down the carbs and cleaned them, as well as replaced pretty much everthing with the kits I received. 1. Once I install the carbs is there some sort of procedure I should be doing, since the float bowls are empty. 2. How often do you need to...

Hey all, I'm new to all this, was just wondering what cleaning products are safe or not safe when it comes to cleaning up the carb diaphragms. It seems like WD-40 would be just fine, do I stand correct perhaps?

I got a set of second hand carbs the other day, started a complete strip down & clean last night. Came across some fuel "gunk" as you can see below (looked and felt like old soap) Took some time to clean but it looks ok now. GREEN = Main Jet BLUE = Pilot Jet YELLOW = Main Bleed Pipe PURPLE...

I did the shot gun carb cleaning and when i got it all back together i fired the bike up and as soon as i shut the choke off it would just bog when ever i opened the throttle. As if the accelerator pumps arent doing any thing.:ummm: Help!!! Im going to americade with the bike thursday i need it...

Doesn anyone know if it's possible to clean an o2 sensor? Its a Bosch LSU4 Wideband sensor but I believe it might could be cleaned like any regular narrowband automotive O2 sensor. My Dynojet wideband commanders O2 sensor is becoming sluggish and slow to respond to A/F changes and I'm told...

Just wondering if anyone had any advice on the product to use for cleaning? (In Canada) I'm not sure if anything would damage the paint on the tank. Thanks in advance.

The wheels are a pain to clean for me, so yesterday I tried a paper towel with some marvel mystery oil and was amazed how easily it removed the dirt, I think WD-40 will do the same but be careful not to get it on the brake rotors. I just hate cleaning the bike.
