low

Since I got my bike back from the shop where it spent a month or so being overhauled, the V-boost kick at 6k rpm is gone. Everything is hooked proprely and seams to be working OK appart from one thing. Checking the voltage at the battery, I get a good reading. I start the engine and the...

Hey Vmaxers, I just bought this 2006 a couple of months ago and sometimes it has hesitation on take-off and midrange between 3000-6000 rpm. The guy who had it before put one of those aftermarket 3-way switches on the v-boost system. The bike is getting horrible gas mileage (100 miles/tank). Any...

Title says it all. First gen, near new perfect condition KC area or within 300 miles. Please contact.

I guess this is #2 built? Anyone know whose got #1??? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yamaha-V-Max-2009-VMax-/120892670022?pt=US_motorcycles&hash=item1c25c3c046

I have a question for those of you more experienced with carb tuning. Here is my problem. (02 V, individual air filters, some sort of jet kit, open supertrapps, clutch currently slipping) My bike has the v-boost selector that can be switched between 3k and 6k. In the 6k (stock) position while...

Where the heck is the procedure for setting the A/F screw positions? I know that a dyno or an A/F meter is the best way, however I thought I recall a procedure to get you close for those without access to these resources. Since waking the bike up after it's long winter nap I have had a...

Hi guys, I've been reading a lot about the potential low oil pressure associated with that 'o' ring pushing out the siphon in the fuel pump. I've heard two stories on this: The first is that this is a result of not letting the bike warm up enought before riding it hard The other thing I...

Just finished cleaning the carbs. I did NOT drill off the caps and re-do the fuel air screw. The bike now idles fine. When I take it to red line and shift it wants to almost studder. The pull seems linear if not a tiny bit exponecial. In other words it pulls pretty evenly throughout the...

I've been running a UFO LED tail/brake light on my bike for the last several months. I don't do much riding at night, but on the way home for a local bike night I was alerted that my tail light wasn't working (brake light still worked). I pulled the light and sent it back to Jon at UFO to take...

Now maybe it's just the sensor that's not working but before I start taking everything to bits (it's 35 celcius and no shade) I'd like to pick your brains. So the actual bulb is ok, it and the oil light come on when I try to start in gear without the clutch pulled in. The fuel pump runs when I...

hey guys did a couple hundred miles this weekend and noticed an issue, which i think is carbs. around say 2.3krpms - 3k rpms with low accel to WOT (not at cruise) the bike stumbles a bit. from what i know (which aint much) it almost feels like its going lean. turning the choke on helps, so...

Just finished the low voltage mod.Cold battery 12.0 .She fired right up and at 1000 rpm I get 13.5 and at 2500 I get 14.6 .How bout them numbers ?,and I for got to hook up my second ground to the v ,max cover .I may wire up a volt meter so I can see how its running all the time.They have nice...

Does it have any effect on the fuel pick up ? My '98 works on reserve just fine , but sputters when switched to on , with plenty of fuel in the tank.

This is one topic that comes up again, and again, and again, I'm pretty sure it's even surpassed the "which oil is best" threads in post count. Every time it comes up, there's lots of good info, until it slips back a few pages and the question gets asked again by another new member. There's a...

Anybody know of a maufacturer of a low backrest for the Gen 1? I really don't like the tall "syssy bar" look of the OEM Gen 1 rest but could tolerate something similar to the one they make for the Gen 2

I finally assembled my engine few days ago. I've changed a lot of parts during the process. It works strange now. It has normal idle, but when I give it WOT I have a lag. When I’m trying to open throttle slowly it decreases revs and then suddenly revs it up. This lag is on first 1-2mm of...

... I give you a 2005 Anniversary with 900 miles on it: http://syracuse.craigslist.org/mcy/2295069950.html Looks to be pristene, and just about new. If somebody non-local is seriously interested, I'd be happy to inspect the bike first hand. Good think I didn't see that when I was shopping, I...

So i got my bike all figured out which is bone stock for the motor. I put a marks exhaust on my buddies bike and did everything i did and he has a low end stumble from idle to about 3K. You can hear it kinda sputter and miss. Its an 04 with about 8,000 miles and ran great before. I shimmed...
