cylinders

Hi I did about 300km on the bike on Sunday and it was awesome, I washed it and parked it in the shed till this morning when I got it out to go to work. There was a faint backfire at low RPM but it went away once I was out of the driveway. I hit the highway and opened her up and that's when i...

So i fired bike up today to put fuel in it. It ran great the other night and tonight it acted like it was missing on 1 or 2 cylinders. I got back and thought ignition as I just put an ignitech unit in the other night that i rode it. So i checked spark at all 4 COP's and all of them had...

okkkkkk,,, i pressed the starter switch on my vmax and it made a noise like metal going around in a washing machine (best way i can describe it) turned everything off and on to see whats up and it started without a noise but my front 2 cylinders are now not firing. i have no idea whats...

I finally got my vmax running today sort of. The left front cylinder and left rear cylinder are not firing. There is no spark. The plugs are new. The entire bike was disassembled for repainting including wiring. I am not sure what would cause this or how to start diagnosing it. Thanks for any...

Not too long ago I saw a thread from someone that replaced their master cylinders with some aftermarket ones and they included a link. I tried searching but haven't been able to find it. I forget the brand name, but I remember them being decently priced. You picked out the master and then...

well i had a sneaky suspition that i had a bad cylinder so i went ahead and checked all 4. 2 were good with 160psi and less than 10% for leak down and the other 2 were 140 and 20% or so for the leak down. now i think i might as well do the 1260 big bore. what do you guys think. and i might run...

A fellow Rune rider just added another bike to his garage. (My other bike is a Honda Rune) Check this thing out. I've never seen one til now. Apparently, they are in production - IF ya got the $$$. http://www.jrlcycles.com/albums/album_image/7125277/7167710.htm...

I own a 92 full power Vmax. Last weekend i fitted a Scorpio bike alarm , run a series of tests after installation one being trying to start the bike with the alarm armed. When i did this and turned the ignition and kill switch off the starter stayed engaged and by the time i could unhook the...

So this bike has been through a frame up rebuild. I redid trans but did not touch top end or timing. I went through the carbs and rebuilt them and also installed new diaphrams for all the slides. Just put new marks exhaust on tonight and fired it up and went to sync carbs and thats when...

I am having fits w my 95 vmax not wanting to run at low rpm. At first I thought it was the low rpm circuit in the carbs but it was running perfect only a few days ago and I went through the carbs just to make sure. It seams that the front right and rear left cylinder are not firing at low rpm...

Look we have a really dated master cylinder set up that needs serious updating... I was looking into the vrod masters,,they are sharp,,but not sure if they will fit the lines without some serious adapters...Anyone have any other good ideas for nice looking masters??

I've read several post on this and some can be confusing so I figured if I just ask in this simple way somone who knows can answer by simply putting the number next to the cylinders Starting with the left side what are the cylinder numbers. front back Same for right side Front...

So I've got some brake issues on my '93 Suzuki quad, namely that they don't work. At all. It's got a somewhat unique system of three drums. Since the rear axle is locked full time, there's only one drum on the rear right wheel, which just has a linkage to the foot pedal. That one just needs new...

Hey Odieoh24: What brake and clutch master cylinders do you use? I saw them in your posted pictures and they look fantastic! Thanks. Elimax

Hi folks: Are there any replacement levers (either adjustable or shorty or both) to replace the front brake and clutch levers on the VMax? (I have an '89, if that matters. Also, I'm not yet interested in the calipers, hust the levers.) Thanks. Elimax

not sure what this should go under....could be electrical, carb or even motor. bikes been firing up awesome...went to pick up the g/f from work today....3 miles away....ran great....ran great after picking her up til I hit town (1 mile from home) and it acted like it was running outta...

Ok, Ok, Please post pictures of your non stock Clutch, Front Brake masters/levers. I would like to see some options, especially for no mirror applications. Thank you.

Ok, so my '86 Max has great spark on the front and will run on the front 2 cylinders. However, the rear cylinders have no spark when the starter is hit. Now whats really odd, is that they will spark ONLY when I shut off the key switch. I turn the motor over, nuthin. I shut the key off and...

Okay here we go again. My 85 max is only running on 3. The front right one is not fireing. Noticed when I was trying to sink. Took of the vacuum cap to hook up the syncronizer while running and the engine didn't drop. Set and unset mixture screw, no engine change. Disconnected spark plug...

Been going through a bunch of posts. Looks like many of you are using EBC HH sintered pads. Also looks like some have gone to FJR master cylinders. And of course many of you are using better calipers. I don't want to "brake" the bank but do have some questions about brake options for my 85: 1...
