idle

I just installed my cycle-one off oil pressure gauge and was wondering what most people get at startup. Mine starts at about 20-25 then warms up to about 30 psi. i bought the o ring kit too but i'm trying to decide should i hold off since that is going to require more work. Is that pressure...

I have everything taken part on the carbs but I can't get the idle mixture screw out for the hole is covered. I know I could drill it out but would feel stupid if there was an easy way to get it out and not having to do that. I've attached a picture of what I'm talking about, how do I get that...

Hey guys!I just installed a SASY vboost controller(pretty Cool so far)I had my bike sitting at idle, and I was just playing around with the settings to see if it actually works.But when I would set the vboost at 1800(the full open option)My bike would die at idle!!!It would fire right back up...

for me being an auto and motorcycle tech for 30 yrs. i should be able to feel a misfire. this bike runs great, plenty of power, and idles good. i have a hand held thermometer gun. 3 cyls. running normal temp but rt. frt. cyl cold. now that i know this i can feel that it does seam to start to...

12.8v-13v+ at idle, but less voltage as RPMs increase. When I increase throttle, the voltage drops to under 12... like 11.5v. I suspect a bad battery, but before I just go and replace it with an expensive one, what comments do you guys have? I can charge the battery and it appears to hold a...

Ok some where on here i seen that someone was looking for an "O" Ring that they had lost when removing the idle adj. screw for a shotgun cleaning, if you go to the dealer they will try to sell you the whole unit Idle screw, and all i found a part # its a susuki# 13295-26E00 thats just the "O"...

So I drilled out my brass plugs and instead of a screw it looks like I have a brass plug with a hole in the center of it. I know I didin't hit the screw with the drill bit because I was able to pull the plug out almost intack. Anyone seen this?

my bike is idling a little low... 700rpm. i was looking for adjusting screw but didn't see it. i want to bump the idle to 900 and was hoping someone can point me in the right direction. thanks, sid

Hello All, First post here. Love this website. Finally found a forum with great info and people willing to help. Glad to be a member. I bought the 04 VMax new and only have 1000 miles on it. I spend my summers (May - Oct) away from home and my bike only gets started once in a while. When I am...

All 4 have little springs that are rusty. Do I need to replace them or is it a no big deal? I just want to ride, no time to wait for springs, HEEEEELPP

My bike idles @ 1100. I think thats a little high. Is their a link to idle adjustment. I've been searching the site and havent been able to find it. Thanks

Bike: 1992 PCW 1327cc chain drive with about 1000 miles on the motor So I just got my bike back from my mechanic. He took the carbs off and cleaned them, replaced the plugs and tuned and synced the carbs. The bike ran well at his shop when I picked it up, I brought it home, put all the...

Hi all, I've read some of the threads regarding hot Vmaxs. I'm looking into doing the fan switch mod. I just took it out tonight and in stop-go traffic it got up to about 3/4 - higher than 1/2, but not yet getting red. My overflow tank cap needs to be replaced (it's cracked) so I wonder if that...

I had rust in the fuel tank which clogged the fuel filter, etc, etc. After sealing the tank, I removed the carbs & cleaned all the rust from the float bowls. After re-installing them, it runs terrible. Idle goes from 3000 RPM down to 1500 & back up. When it idles down, it pops through the RH...

Hey Guy's, So what should the RPM at Idle be set at. I dont have a manual. It is for a 2006 with no mods. 2nd question. Anyone else have a front end wobble between around 40 -50 mph when you let off the throttle and lighten your grip I get a wobble. rest of the time no issues. Is this just how...

I?ve got an ?85?Max (California model) that?s giving me carb problems. It seems like the problem is in the idle circuit because the # 1 Cyl is not firing (cold Exhaust, intermittent popping out the exhaust) during idle. I have removed carb rack twice and thoroughly cleaned it yet I still have...

A few months ago the Max started running crappy on idle. Had so many things to do and the weather was getting cold, so I just kind of parked the bike and figured I'd need to do the shotgun cleaning the next time the weather warmed up. A couple of days ago however, it warmed up to over 40f so I...

I know US models use 37.5 idle jets. Some carbs have 42.5's. I think these use 100 air jets vs 90's also. Why is this? Does this slightly recurve the idle transfer to secondary or does it end up equaling the same curve thru different jets? I know when tuning holly type carbs if you are so far...

Just a general question...do the idle mixture screws (and their adjustment) have any effect on the carbs/bike at RPMs above idle? For example, that brief moment when throttling up from a decel before the engine assumes much load and the revs begin to increase?

I have an idle jet that I cannot get out of the jet block. Anyone have the ability to get it out? Cost? Yes the screw slot is striped. Or is it cheaper to jusy buy a different jet block? Jim
