power

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...

Hi guys, to start please excuse my bad english level So i have a 2004 max with 52k kms. I have it since 3 years now and it always runs great with a powerfull acceleration. Since 2 week, i have an issue with my bike. It's intermittent. The bike as no more power (like 50% less power) and...

I was working on my exhaust and removed the old gaskets hoping to do a cleaner job but i havent found gaskets yet so i installed the exhaust can back but now obviously there is a leak at all four pipes where they connect to each other. the bike seemed to run fine with a little power loss at low...

I recently bought an 88 with a stage 7 jet kit and 4 into 1 kerker. It sounds good, but I think it is lacking power, especially at 7,000 rpm. It accelerates smoothly until 6,500 then it will hesitate for half a second, pull to 7,000 and then it is like it hits a rev limiter--no more power. 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...

My beloved VMax is up for grabs. Need cash for new project - really DON'T wanna sell it but there is no other way! Bike is near Buckingham UK, is a real minter with fab Delkevic stainless exhaust, you can see (and hear) the bike on it's own FaceBook page...

Powered up my barnfind Vmax yesterday. Since it hasn't run in 4 years, I decided to spray some oil down the intakes and spin the motor up some, without plugs, to limber it up some before installing my freshly rebuilt carbs. I left the plugs plugged in and hanging and grounded them with...

Put in the Morley stage 7 jet kit and marks custom 4 to 2 exhaust over the winter. The bike has run great. It does run a little rich so I backed the clip off the fuel needle one notch. Helped out a little. Ran the bike for 2 months and felt fine. Just ran it the day for 150 miles and the last 20...

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 (...

New member here sorry that my first post is about a dead Max. Took a 10 min drive today the bike was running great. Stopped in a parking lot to make a call dropped the bike in neutral about 10 seconds later it just turned off like the key had been switched off. I had it towed home $107...

So, needed power for long rides to charge the phone (GPS). Picked up the 12v adapter w/2 USB plugs off eBay for $12. $10 in 18g wire, pack of female adapter, and 15a fuse from radio shack. Drilled a 1 1/4 hole under the ignition switch, put gasket sealer around the whole and used locknut...

Watching the crowd surround them and there isnt a face on a single Beatles member that says quit crowding me! They loved their fans and embraced them. I ve seen a few tribute bands and wanting to go see Rain. I ve seen 1964, they were pretty darn good. A couple local tributes, which weren't...

Coming home I was enjoying a spirited ride when suddenly I lost a lot of power. Idled ok but left front cylinder header temp was not hot. I didn't check rear cylinders but was thinking electrical. Began riding home. Fuel light came on, flipped to reserve and BAM! Power on! Or at least most of...
