pipe

Does anyone know why Vance & Hines never made a pipe for the vmax ? Yankee

OK. My friends dad has two max's. An 87 and an 85. Long story short, the 85 used to belong to a buddy of his. Through whatever events transpired, he now owns it... When I was looking to buy a Vmax, I took a look at his 85 - as he plans on selling it. It has a NOS set up on it, drag bars, a...

1988 vmax full kerker exh., stage 7 less v-boost, dyna ignition. left front pipe is blue and hotter than others. i know it probobly rich but lean can also cause excessive heat. take any thoughts or experiences. thanks, mark

Hi, My current muffler is a 20" over racing, I will need to replace the carbon sleeve which already cracked on the mounting point, maybe because it's too heavy. So before replacing the sleeve, I wondered if I should let it that long or not. I wanted to understand what is the impact of...

I just placed a custom built 4-2-1 midpipe for the 2009/2010 Vmax on ebay Starting bid is $100 with no reserve. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLYoe93GXeg

Does Marks pipe use the block adapter and clamp band for the rear headers or can I remove this little piece. I am trying to get the bike ready for the arrival of the exhaust.

So, after a number of bodged repairs, my balance pipe finally decided it had had enough. It jetisonned itself onto the M40 (freeway) on the way home from the Bulldog Bash (HAMC England biker bestival) - still around 100 miles from home. So I had to ride back with virtually open headers on the...

Hi, I just got my Marks pipes on sounds and runs good. I do have a low end slight stumble around 3-4k then it clears up thru the revs. I checked the plugs and they seem like a nice brownish color. I heard they are lean on the bottom more so than the upper range. As far as jet kits I still...

Hey guys! I've got an 85 with 28k and Kerker 4-2. Lately it's been making some odd noises that I've narrowed down to exhaust leaks. I bought new gaskets that go to the heads, but they seemed fine once I started disassembly. I did find that the rear pipes are very loose where they're clamped...

First thing I'm doing is painting the pipe on my bike. It's a Hindle 4 into 1. The pipe looks older - and really takes away from the look of the bike. Here's the plan I have... 1.) Start with a good air-assisted sanding wheel. Sand the thing down as best as possible. I am not going to remove...

I have a Hindle header on my vmax. Does anybody have a mid pipe and can they would like to sell? I'm running a K series Kerker right now.

I want to remove my front two header pipes so I can drop my oil pan. I removed the nuts from the head studs, and loosened the set screws where the headers slip onto the the cross-over pipe. But I am unable to get the pipes loose. Any thoughts?

I present the combination of: Morley jet kit and UFO 4-1 drag pipe. 162.5 Main 177.5 PAJ2 119.8 hp 79.17 tq Will figure out how to size the sheet properly and post the pic. I am pleased with the smoothness (?) of the graph, no major dips in hp..I know, this thread is worthless without...

For those that run the Kerker 4-2-1 with a 2.5 comp baffle you know how loud it can be when riding down the interstate at 80 MPH and the tach is running 6000. After awhile this tends to be hard on the ear drum. After putting up with it for 4 yrs I had enough and decided to do something about but...

I have recently installed a Marks performance full exhaust and have a K&N filter with the "T" on the air box spaced about a 1/4 of an inch and im useing the factory jets. my problem is that when i have my tboost on and do a quick start (launches over 4000 rpm) it falls on its face and allmost...

Ok... as I was replacing HT leads today I had to remove air box as well. I found some white creamy stuff in the pipe which is connected to the middle of the air box (at the rear, between the carbs). Any ideas where this came fom and what's the reason for it :ummm::ummm::ummm: It looks like oil...

Hi guys Just bought my first V-max. It is a 1987 model and has got about 30.00 miles on it. The first thing I wanted to do is change the oil. I however can not find the oil filler cap!! On the right hand side of the motor where the cap should be there is instead a pipe running from there...

I've been looking around, and haven't really found anything out other than not to buy the cobra pipes (no brainer). What is the best performing pipe out there, and what are your guys opinions on the HMF? is anyone running it? Dyno chart wise, it seems that the UFO's make really good power. Is...

It was chilly this morning (about 50) so the exhaust was condensing as it exited the pipes. Well, only ONE pipe (top right). As my sig says, I have a stock bike with Cobra slip-ons. Am I correct to suspect that I just have a syncronization issue? I know very little about carbs in general and...

Hey all, new here - I need help! I have aquired a clean 86 vmax. It had spun #2 rod bearing, then been rebuilt by a professional yamaha mechanic. It has 50 EASY miles on it, and spun #2 rod bearing again. the crank, rods, bearings had all been replaced. I'm an automotive engine builder...
