gas

Hey guys...so I noticed that when I start the bike and let it idle, I smell gas from the exhaust (stock exhaust). The situation is so bad that if I stand facing the rear of the bike my clothes smell like gasoline! The bike has no problems starting, sometimes on the first or second tries. The...

gas efficient! I heard of a similar story back in 1964 when a women brought her car in and thought it was broken because she drove from New Orleans to Lake Charles and only used 1 gallon of gas. GM offered her a new car every year for the rest of her life if she'd turn in her old one. Never...

This is the 3rd time this has happened. Took it to shop near me and they rebuilt all 4 carbs. Took it back when it happened the first time, but it quit leaking before I got it in and they did nothing. When it happened again They said it was bad fuel, showed me the dirty gas, told me to stop...

Does anyone know if there is a non-locking replacement gas cap for our VMAX? Mine, the key is sticking and thats after I have applied WD-40. I figure one day, I will probably snap off the key in the lock and be screwed.

Occasionally when I come to a stop and then try to take off again, the bike will cut off like it has run out of gas but it will start and idle just fine. As soon as I give it some throttle, it will die again. I then have to cut the motor, take off the gas cap (tons of suction) put the cap back...

What race gas / mixture do you guys run for your beat times

I was advised to get some POR 15 and recoat my tank. There was a lot of crap in it. Glad I did it. It was a pretty easy process, following the instructions and a lot of rolling the tank around. The only problem I have is there are 2 places to connect hoses, one is obviously the fuel supply...

Just picked up a '98 VMAX that had a Corbin seat on it. The po just left the seat loose to gas it up. Didn't like that so I saw where folks got a deck fill from a marine supply and 5" of filler hose to extend the filler neck. Thought it would be nice to keep the locking gas cap so I found a...

Went for a ride with the wife yesterday to get her some riding gloves and a tank bag for me and after a short jaunt on the freeway it didn't sound right at all. Rather flat and almost like a misfire but more like a weak cylinder. Compression checked out fine, 170-180 on all 4 so I pulled the...

I'm wondering if anyone has put a sleeved screw-type gas cap in our tank...

I usually ride about 10-20 miles at a time and,back and forth to work is 9 miles round trip.I have been getting 30 m.p.g. and wasnt very happy but i love the power so I figure thats the trade off.I went on a 200 mile ride this past weekend and was running anywhere from 45-65m.p.h.to my surprise...

Man guy's this weekend, I was on my way out of town for Father's day, I got about 38 miles in to the ride stop off at a Crown gas station got about 3 gallon's of gas. Pull away from the gas station about 5 min's in to the ride the bike started back firing lose of power man I slowly may it back...

I have a customers Vmax in need of a clean fuel tank . Anyone have one for sale??

I'm thinking no, but figured I'd ask. My carbs were cleaned last year by the previous owner, but I let it sit through the winder and I think that caused the float bowl gasket to dry a little. It leaked quite a bit then just a lil after a couple runs. I tried taking the carbs apart, but damn...

Bike has been running great till today.... On the way home, the engine started to stumble a bit at low RPM, but still ran OK at speed. Idle dropped a bit, got pretty raggedy, and I noticed a bit of gas on the right rear carb. Pulling the airbox, I noticed gas coming out the air bleed or jet...

Went to wake the Max up this morning... Put in a gallon of gas, and turned on the key to start the bike. As I was cranking it I noticed a puddle of gas on the floor. Investigating showed that the PAJ2 on the left front carb was leaking a major amount of fuel. Figuring a stuck float, I gave...

I was on my way home and went by a local NOCO station. The sign said They now had 91 octane without ethonal. I thought 10% ethonal was required, but I guess i'm wrong. I didn't stop in, but I wanted to give a heads up, at least to the local western NY guys.

He paid $4200.00 for the bike no motor mods only this a exhaust kerker bike is clean. I friend of mind's bought 2000 vmax about a month ago he took the bike out for his 1st ride yesterday, He found these things wrong. 1st - Bike pops out of 2nd gear only when hard acceleration, if he go easy...

Looking to borrow/rent a "Gas Block Barrel Dimpler" for my: 18" rifle length gas, Shilen Ultramatch, .223 Wylde barrel. .750 I'll pay shipping and thank you.

Looks like Gov Snyder wants to raise our already steep gasoline tax from .19 cents a gallon to 32 or 33 cents per gallon, now dont get me wrong, our roads/bridges are in need of repair and we need to do something, but with one of the highest tax per gallon already why are we in the fix were in...
