    Rear Right Cylinder Misfire?

    Although my Vmax runs great, I have noticed that when starting from cold, the rear right cylinder has a slight 'misfire'. After idling for a minute it disappears as soon as it starts to warm up. I have also noticed that when the bike starts to get low on fuel it also starts to miss on the same...

    Misfire

    Hi fellas, I posted a while back about an overflow situation on one of my carbs. Got that sorted out with the help of some of the good folks here. Now I have a similar symptom but a different outcome while riding. At lower speeds and gears the bike seems to run very well but on the Highway in...

    Misfire when hot

    I figure you guys can narrow this down. The bike starts great when cold and runs fine. It seems the longer it runs and the hotter it gets, the worse it runs. It has been starting to misfire when hot more and more, and before I dig in, I would like some hints from the experts. I am suspecting a...

    VMAX1200 Hot Start/misfire fix...

    This has GOT to be good news for all Vmaxxers with bad starting or hot starting issues. My Vmax would sometimes start first button from cold but often would require several long cranks - together with grinding starter clutch noises before firing. If run hot, the motor would misfire at low...

    Misfire issue solved Thanks All

    OK I cannot really say solved with a 100% due to rain, but I know it is. Well I have had the idea in my head that its caused by a short and not the carbs, and that's thanks to you all for the tips! Well earlier in the day I happen to spot some wires that were taped up and to me looked...

    Misfire or Fuel Issue?

    I have an 89 Max, all stock as far as I know I run 93 octane only in it (Not sure if that's important info or if it even needs to run 93 octane). Here's the problem, when it is cold or warm but not quite up to full operating temperature she runs beautifully. Now once she warms up fully she...

    misfire question?

    Greetings. I have an '85 Vmax, with a '96 engine, kerker 4-2-1 exhaust (I think), and Stage 7 kit with alloy tubes replacing the V-boost. It starts easy, runs smooth, pulls fantastically through the revs and gears. However, if I gun it hard, after it pulls like a freight train and I back it off...
