high

Hi new member here. I'll post in the introduction in min. Just got a prob thats driving me crazy. I got an 86 max with 8000 or so miles. Bike cranks an idles runs fine. Just when you get the bike at higher rpm's it wants to smoke. You can shut it off an sit. Crank back up an no smoking. Got a...

I was just north of where this dude got caught and witnessed him almost running into the back of a semi. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44150704/ns/local_news-omaha_ne/

Any Ideas?

I don't known if I'm allowed to post firearms on here, delete if needed, and if so my apologies.... I've got a Browning 1885 High Wall in 7mm Mag. It is a Falling Block Single Shot with an Octoganal Barrell, it's in about 95% or better condition, without box.. It was John Brownings First...

So I buttoned up the motor last night, new Orings on the elbow and the screw for the stator (timing hole)... anyway I filled coolant and oil, replaced filter (not in that order :rofl_200:) and fired the bike up. I still have a high idle. I can bring the idle down by twisting the throttle...

My 2006 Vmax handlebars will shake at all speeds. I can let go with one hand and the handle bars will shake back and forth like a cars stearing wheel when a tire is out of ballance. When my wife is riding on the back the shaking goes away. Also when my wife is riding with me I get an...

Hi, When riding my `85 Vmax hard, I sometimes hear a grinding sound when shifting (mostly to 2 and 3 i think). When just cruising, there are no problems. Finding neutral is no problems, shifting down isn't either. I also seem to have this problem when shifting from neutral while going 30mph, I...

So I overhauled my 04's carbs and plopped them back in. I started it up and it started idling like normal. after a couple of minutes, I blipped the throttle and it seemed like it got stuck at 3K. and now everytime i start it up it idles at 3K. I turned the idle knob to the point that it's...

Since there's a running tally of the chronologically oldest Vmaxes out there, should be interesting to see how far all these vmaxes have gone. I've heard a couple people here have 100k+. A truck forum I used to be on had a running addition of the mileage of all the members, and how far into the...

Would I have to re-jet a vmax to run in the rockies? Big change from 700' here in Iowa up to 8000 and higher on the passes. If I trailered the high passes. Would I need to re-jet running at 8000? Thanks

Does anybody know if i can install a turbo charger in my v-max which has carrilo rods and je pistons high compression. If i put a gasket so i will reduce the pistons copression will it work.????

am in Denver area... 5280'. max has (i was told by prev owner) stage 7 jets, if so could be part of my running issues i'm sure. probably could foul a plug at WOT up here with those jets :rofl_200: anyone have some suggestions for baseline numbers to run in this thin air? plan on taking some...

i took my ride for a spin. when i turned my throttle full, at about 8000 rpm the bike FELT like from 4 cylinders, working only 3 (by the noise and from the accelaration) when i slightly turn off my grip evrything works fine. i turned again full throttle again the same thing. different noise in...

Hi Guys, I'm in a bit of trouble with my 1996 vmax. It is currently in the shop. Here is the breakdown of what occurred and what was done. I noticed one of the carbs was leaking a bit and the bike was bogging down intermittently. I have a reputable mechanic who has worked on my other bike (79...

yes, here it is folks,..and it "WORKS" Actually some one else on the forum mentioned doing it first, so I cant take the credit on this amazing well thought out idea.:biglaugh: The blue bike in the pic is the reluctant owner of the boost servo. Plans,diagrahms,and scematics,and blue prints for...

last weekend some dumb ass pinned my throttle and locked my throttle lock while it was sitting ( im pretty sure i know who did it but he wont admit it) :bang head: anyway when i started it it immediately reved way high ( probably passed redline) before i hit the kill switch ( he it was delayed...

I have been fighting a rich running condition on my bike. A couple of different dyno test have confirmed it. I pulled my carbs off yesterday to check them out and possibly lean them out some more with the main jet. I decided to check the floats for the first time, it is a 2006 how bad could they...

Well I took my new 1985 Max for a fast rip down the highway. YAAHOOO,...weeble wobble at 85mph..yikes.Havent experienced that in years!!!!Well this sucks,..what to do?Where to begin, how much money and time is this gonna take? Hmmmm..GOOGLE Vmax wooble....boy these things are cursed!! Pages of...

i found an older kerger 4 into 2 system but the headers are a little rough for $300, and wanted to find out how much to refinish before i bought it, the guy also has a stainless hindle 4 into 1 for cheap. So i called a powder coating shop 4 miles from my house to see if he knew were to get it...
