issues

Left side carbs seem to run fine. Had issue of all four cabs not running as a "group". Started with a low rpm stumble, from a stop. During the "Shotgun" process, I found a bad and broken idle mixture screw in carb #3. Replaced it, syncd the carbs and it seemed fixed. Nice buttery smooth take...

01 Vmax, Supertrap with no caps, some sort of jet kit, individual air filters. Last weekend I opened up my air scoops (with dremel) and moved all of my electrical stuff from the one side to under the faux tank (Stock box removed, individual filters). All of my connections are still good. When...

With the increase in gang violence, I wouldn't be a good ex cop friend if I didn't pass along some info. Its good to know whats going on. :rofl_200::rofl_200:

Hi all, Im ready to fire this bad boy up but not getting anywhere... pilot box lights come on, except for neutral indicator which doesnt work, headlight on, blinkers on, but no power to starter, no v-boost cycle when key is turned on, and no fuel pump. I belive I have checked all fuses...

So once again I'm balls-deep in the annoying world of "making an old carb 2 stroke run well", this time it's for my FL350 Odyssey. Little background: 329cc single cylinder, air cooled, reed valve 2 stroke mill STOCK carb was a 32mm Keihin PE round slide, #142 main #58 pilot Motor compression...

I've seen some of the posts on starter/hot start issues. Here's what I'm experiencing; Hot starting got worse. Won't crank at all now when hot. Battery place checked the battery and the charging system. Battery @ 13 not running, same @ idle and high 12's at 3500 rpm's. Battery guy says probably...

OK, so here's what has been done to date; 93 Cal Vmax w/ 25,000 miles Checked valve clearences and are fine. Carbs were covered with oil from leaking valve covers so pulled them apart and cleaned, checked fuel level and reinstalled after replacing valve cover gaskets. Went to sync and...

I have been off work and at the hospital since Tuesday with my brother due to Diabeties and complications. We are headed to another hospital 2.5 hrs away for a heart cath test to check for any blockages. He is scheduled to go in for the procedure sometime this afternoon. My brother has had...

My nephew has a 1993 Suzuki Katana 750 (he is too damn cheap to buy a Vmax) and someone has knocked all the baffles out of the mufflers. Any ideas where we could get some new exhaust? Stock or aftermarket, preferably used?

Anyone having problems with time outs when they go to check posts in threads?:ummm:

Hey guys, My name is joe and I just started riding about 3 weeks ago. I got my first bike off of c-list an 86 1200cc vmax. I had a buddy ride it and it seemed to run great, started like a charm and didn't seem to miss or pop at all. As soon as I got it home, the issues started happening...

I had issues that I had to deal with over the winter and now that I put everything back together, first, after putting the rear wheel back on its leaking from between the wheel and the rear drive assembly. Second, the clutch lever need to be "pumped up" after sitting before it works, and oh yea...

I was changing the pads on my rear brakes today and could not for the life of me get the pistons back into the caliper. I took the caliper off and examined it. Looks like the previous owner had issues too because the edges of both pistons look chewed up. I guess he tried to use a big screw...

The bracket where the footrest attaches to has a rubber damper, and I'm wondering, will the damper be able to resist the temperature (~200) of the oven in the powder coating process??

Any of you guys have issues with the harland shift light? This is not my first install. previous one works perfect. This one, when i start the bike doesnt run on all cylinders. I undid the green/tach wire from the cluster and bike ran perfect, then touch the wire back to the grey on original...

The other day, I was crusing home on the highway and she just started sputtering and died. I tried to restart it and the battery was dead. I just installed a new stator, my battery is cherry, and my starter is new. Before I take her out, I wanted to make sure everything was working. Anyway, I am...

little background info. my bike has about 18k miles on it and hasnt ever had the carbs gone through but i dont let it sit long enough to gum up either. stock jets as far as i know. runs great mostly.... about 3 months ago i noticed it started acting odd. off idle still ran great but at idle...

I just went to pick my new max up yesterday and i took it for a ride first and low and behold they lied about the trans being ok. It is as long as you dont get after it, otherwise it pops and skips. So I have done a little research and found the probable causes i think... Please tell me your...

I know my clutch is on it's way out. I've been doing some research and have narrowed it down to replace the clutch with a new one from PCW. Anyone have experience with PCW?? Is their replacement the way to go? I believe it is, but I guess I'm just looking for reassurance.

For the last couple of days i've been haveing issues with the bike starting up in the morning. I put it on a trickel charger for the last couple of hours. Should i just put it on that charger every once in while? It will only try and crank a few times before it stops clicking. I'm not sure how...
