I ran out of gas with my max yesterday (not too uncommon) but after I started it up again it seemed as though I didn't get much power past 5k rpm or half throttle, and when I go over I hear alot of popping but no power. With lower throttle and lower rpm I get the same amount of power and torque...

When I cruise with my VMAX around 5k-5.5k RPM it seems like I need to give it more throttle than I should to continue to hold that speed. Also when I drop out of V-boost it feels like I lose far more power than I should coming out of it. At 60mph its fine its just around 75-95 in 5th gear that I...

Was out letting the vmax breathe 10k rpms, brought it up to some good short bursts of speed. Bike ran great. Pulled in to get gas and when I drove off felt like it wasn't revving as quick. Still running good just lost some performance. Any suggestions? Spark plugs are new, air and fuel filter...

Hi all, sorry I haven't been around much - still riding my Max and loving it just not as often as I'd like! I have a question about the fuel pressure and especially the loss of it: I know that on a normal max, if it's left to sit for a few days, then upon switching the ignition back on there...

Brakes work great in dry weather but if I hit a rain storm (just did) Brakes seem to drastically loose efficiency, can freely move lever about an inch before i get any resistance. Then there is only about 1/2 inch left until it hits the bars. Can't figure out why so drastic a change. Seems like...

For most families, wealth has vanished If you’re a typical family, you’re considerably poorer than you used to be. No wonder the “recovery” feels like a recession. A new study published by the Russell Sage foundation helps explain why many families feel like they’re falling behind: They...

Good morning guys, Had a power loss last week. Turned on the fan switch and it broke!!! So I road home with the fan on. Can't imagine that caused the loss.Felt like it 's not getting full throttle but the butterflies open all the way. Also had a hard starting episode yesterday (...

On the road today. Could not accelerate past 80 mph. When I came close to 80 mph, the bike acted as if a govenor had kicked in. If I down shifted; bike acted as if it was ready to accelerate, but when I hit around 80 mph again, I would lose power again. If I maintained a constant speed below...

Hi All, I have a 88 Vmax, i have a very strange problem with the brake light wire. It had got layed down previously and upon putting the bike back together from mostly minor damage I got new LED dual running and Brake lights. But when i hook them up which i have done on a few other bike with...

I tried a little experiment about a year ago and didn’t want to post anything until I could get Dyno #s to go along with the idea. I have Dale Walker Holeshot exhaust. I originally took off the slip on mufflers and replaced them with Hedman Hot Tips 17120 exhaust tips. (about $25 each)...

My 97 Vmax has just come out of rebuild. Had a lot of trouble with dirt in the carbs, so str4ipped them and used a rebuild kit - now got good smooth tickover, good pickup of power from low revs but.... at anything more than about 1/3 throttle opening the bike dies. Wont pull or accelerate and...

The other day I went to start my bike, turned the key on, everything seemed normal, but when I touched the start button, it made a little click and then no power to anything, neutral light off, nothin.:confused2: So I took the seat off, disconnected and reconnected the negative side of the...

Bought a 06 Vmax beginning of this year. Carbs were gummed up bad. Had Joe at Boxenstopp clean and adj carbs (4/1 Kerker pipe). Have not gotten over 30 mpg in town or on road. Is this normal? 2nd issue. After riding the bike for 45 minutes it suddenly started running aweful. Felt like 50%...

Finally was able to get the bike out on the road and its not pulling past 5k. Pulled the air box top and cleaned thoroughly the intake holes with carb cleaner. While I was doing this I noticed that the slides wouldn't move, at all, even revving to 7k. I had the carb side covers p/c this year...

Dont you just love it when you get out bid with 1 sec left on a item :real mad: make me wanna take them and :bang head:

All of the bikes I have owned over the years basically started as piles of junk. I'd buy them for cheap and bring them back to life. See my VMax saga here: http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=3410 While my repairs have gotten them all back on the road, none of the bikes I have brought...

I know there is a thread out there on exhaust and eveyone's opinion on which is "the best". Having set my heart on the "look" of the Cobra slashcut slip-ons, I was wondering if anyone can explain (with data/details) why the Cobra (reportedly) drops your HP. Too restrictive? Too free flowing...

Ok folks... I'm like a freakin yo-yo I swear... I've had enough though and started another diet 2 weeks ago. I am currently down 16 pounds and literally feel full ALL the time. It's amazing what real whole foods do for you. I know some of you may be aware of my weight history but just a little...
