    2 cylinders not firing at low rpm

    I am having fits w my 95 vmax not wanting to run at low rpm. At first I thought it was the low rpm circuit in the carbs but it was running perfect only a few days ago and I went through the carbs just to make sure. It seams that the front right and rear left cylinder are not firing at low rpm...

    exhaust popping and no power at low speeds

    Have had no issues with my baby, but it has set up for a couple of months and not rode. I cranked it up yesterday and noted that I had to keep the choke slightly on or it would die. When I revved the throttle it wanted to die, but when I rode it at mid rpms there was no issues. Only when I...

    Low Compression (Bad rings or valves?)

    Well, I went for a ride on Saturday for a bit and came back and had bunch of oil on my engine. Not the typical seeping oil but splashes. It looked like it was coming from my airbox so I figured it was leaking from the carb joint which goes through the airbox. I was right, one joint was loose and...

    Low oil sensor wiring

    Got the oil pan back on last night, and the next step on the video was to reinstall the low oil sensor. On mine, there's no wire coming out of the sensor, but instead there's a screw in the opening, and kind of a 45 degree angle coming out of the hole. Is the wire supposed to be embedded, or is...

    Low speed missing/popping

    I recently bought a 97 vmax. Just got out friday and drove it to work for the first time. It didn't run very good. At any speeds below 50 MPH when cruising one cylinder is missing and popping. Only when cruising, if I get on the throttle it disappears. Also it doesn't matter what the temperature...

    Hesitating & popping at low throttle

    My '01 with 9300 miles sometimes hesitates and sputters upon light acceleration. At 2000 rpm and above, the bike is strong. V-boost kicks in around 6000 and the thing really hauls ***; no problem there. The dealer I bought it from and his tech says everything seems okay and Vmax's are very...
