Hey guys , I just winterized the 2007 Vmax , put a tank of 100 octane ethanol free fuel in the bike . This 07 is the last of the carb bikes I have , fuel sucks these days , I put 93 and marine stable in the others but did also put the 100 octane in the 2013 vmax . I know around here in eastern...

Two fuel mixer screw are stuck in the front carburetors on my Max and they are damage. Is there any possibility to fix this problem? Drill 2 little holes in the pilot screw and try a bigger screwdriver but nothing works. I thing somebody put lock-tide on it. Did try WD-40. Heated the carb...

I just sent my '04s carbs off for a professional cleaning, pretty sure sitting too long with ethanol was the culprit, bike's been a paperweight for a few years now. What is the best way to clean the rest of the fuel system to ensure I'm not going to re-gunk them as soon as I bolt 'em back on?

Too sad, i don't remember.. Pilot fuel jets are not MKD series like Main jets, right? If i am right, what are they?

Last couple of rides when the low fuel light would come, engine would start to cut out, go to reserve. No problem, for maybe 20 seconds, engine would start to cut out again. Recycle reserve switch, runs good, cuts out again. Nursed to next gas station. Any ideas?

hi does anyone know a reasonable replacement for these items I think the relay has died and the pump definitely has to lol also does anyone know how much difference in the relays there are as I've been offered a few but with different markings on

Hey guys, I'm scratching my head here. Last night while riding home, it got a little playful with a buddy of mine and his HD. I could take him at will at any speed, but if I was steady throttle around 7500 - 9000 rpm it would feel like it was running out of steam??? Could this be a float...

Hi, I come across this product on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MOTORCYCLE-52mm-Racing-Gauge-Air-Fuel-Ratio-WHITE-Back-light-/321032174453?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4abf023b75&vxp=mtr Anyone uses this before? Can I use this to tune the carb?

Hi, My fuel reserve light doesn't work. (The bulb works, it turns on and then off when I start the bike). But many times I'm running empty without even knowing. So, I would love to get one of these installed on my vmax. A fuel level gauge/indicator...

Hello. I've searched the forum on this topic and I just want to make sure I understand. First off, my Bike will only run with the switch to RES. I have a 1998 Max. I put a new Koso Speedo and Tach on my bike and I think this may be the problem for inputs. Follow me on this and tell me if...

I know there are many threads related to this subject as I spent days reading them. I decided to start a new thread as I want to get some feedback specific to this situation. So I recently performed Shotgun, changed clip on needles from 2nd groove to 3rd groove. I also changed spark plugs and...

Hey I reversed the polarity by accident when I was bench testing my fuel pump. I saw a small puff of smoke from the electrical plug and not it doesn't work at all. Am I totally screwed or is it fixable?

Anyone try Aviation fuel in their 1st Gen Vmax??

I will be picking up my new bike tomorrow(2000 VMax); my last ride was a 1994 Suzuki RF900. Long story short, when my low fuel light in my RF900 would come on it would start to shudder necessitating the switch of the petcock to the reserve position. I decided to bypass the petcock altogether and...

I pulled the sensor out of my rust fuel tank this afternoon. The sensor sure looks like it has seen better days. Is there a way to test it out before reinstalling it? I don't want to put it in if it don't work obviously. If I do reinstall it and it doesn't work, can I jump t out somehow...

Question guys. The Clymer manual for the 91 states that the bike is recommends regular fuel, and no higher ethanol use than E10. It seems that the majority of people are running high octane. Can you post your year and fuel type use?

so im ut riding yesterday, its 92 and humid here. Lots of stop and go traffic, ran several errands where the bike was off for a few minutes at a time, but the fan came on a couple times. Last time i started it, the fuel pump ran like crazy. Got home, turned the key on and off a few times, pump...

How safe it is to use E5 or E10 Ethanol fuel on our Vmaxes ? My country is about to mandate the use of E5 and later towards E10 Ethanol fuel. I am worried about the effect on my Vmax. Should I worry or not. Or maybe there is an additive to counteract the ethanol damaging effects to...
