gas

Ok when the bike is running I have gas coming out of the two left hand breather tubes that screw to the top of the air filter. Bearing in mind its not running well Im assuming that this isnt normal. Any suggestions guys?

Well after cleaning out my tank with muriatic acid & pressure washing it, I'm still getting flakes. Yamaha wants $353 Canadian & 2 weeks. I found some on ebay for $199 + ups + $60 shipping , that's around $379 Canadian. that dollar exchange is a killer !! any one got a good clean used one...

There is a cool app that is called "pure gas" that takes your current location and tells you the stations closest to you that carry gas without ethanol. I thought there were none close to me so I always used gas with ethanol on my Gen 1's Now that I found this app, I will mention tfr from...

I think I may have a problem with the reserve on my Gen1: after the light is on either the control switch (at the handlebar) does not work, or the sender assembly on the bottom has a problem. It happened around 10 years ago already, but I can't remember how I resolved the problem!! Any idea...

Where does the round disk with the square hole go? Every place I try it it throws the order of things all off....if I leave it out the cap works fine. But I know it's s'posed to go inside that friggin' cap somewhere.....:ummm:

Have gas coimg out of the long hose on the airbox. took the airbox off and found back left carb is poring gas out. From what I have read sounds like a stuck float I have tap the carb drained the bowls gas is clean. drain some gas out of the tank and nothing floating in it. Whats the best way to...

Well for more-traditional gas tank locations, this seems to answer that. :biglaugh:

My bike was having difficulty starting. I read a post about vapor lock. When i undo the gas cap. I hear a sucking spund from pressure intank equalizing. I checked the hose and the plastic connector in the middle had melted and blocked air flow. So i removed the connector but.am worried gas may...

Does anyone know if L3K is still in business? I emailed them several times about their tank and never received a response. Also, their web site doesn't list a phone number for them.

Today is the first day you can buy ethanol gas in the cochella valley in so cal. It is priced at $2.34 a gallon-89 octane is $4.99. Is it good or bad for a vmax?:ummm:

For those of you in the Deltona Florida area. The Racetrack on Howland Blvd & I-4 has Non Ehtenol gas at all their pumps. At this time it's 3.25/gl. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I decided to remove the old gas in the tank and found a tag from a filler spout:ummm:

I just started up my 2005 V-Max (3300 miles) for the first time in 5 months. Gas is pouring out of one of the carb overflow tubes. I am looking for some advice on how to fix this problem!

Anyone have any idea of why my 07 is getting such crappy gas mileage? I'm getting far less than 100 miles before my fuel light comes on. The bike seems to be running fine as far as i can tell but I've only had the bike for a few weeks. It only has 6,500 miles on it. I traded my 06 R1 for it. Any...

I'm planning to take some nice Mtn rides this spring and worry about my fuel supply. I have a luggage rack and a nice tail pack that could hold a 1 gallon plastic gas container. I might be able to fit 2 of them in it. I'm trying to think of a reason that this would be a bad idea. I realize it's...

Hey Guys, I noticed the VMAX has a similar issue than my previous Yamaha R6 and R1 had, when you let go of the gas, it seems the engine puts a ton of engine braking into play, which is terrible around corners when it kicks in unexpectedly? I recall on the R6 it was as simple as pulling...

Ok Guys, here it is. You can go to youtube, "Working Vmax Gas Gauge" for a short developmental video. Ill be posting many more step by step pics and phase 1 and 2 gauges. The low fuel light sender and circuit are still intact, the light is now L.E.D. as are all the rest of the pod lights. That...

Hey guys, Have you ever parked your bike, and came back to see tiny drips of gas leaking from your over flow tubes? I put new float valves in last summer and had not seen a problem since then. Now it looks like all 4 are weeping little tiny drips of gas.:ummm:

I had a leaky carb drip gas before, about a year ago. I've installed all new rubber overflow valves in all 4, and the problem went away. Today I noticed that a have a small drip of gas coming out from ALL 4 Carbs at once.. It's a really light drip, but you can see two wet spots on each side of...
