    Loud exhaust, low $$, no power loss

    I tried a little experiment about a year ago and didn’t want to post anything until I could get Dyno #s to go along with the idea. I have Dale Walker Holeshot exhaust. I originally took off the slip on mufflers and replaced them with Hedman Hot Tips 17120 exhaust tips. (about $25 each)...

    No power whatsoever

    Hello all. First time posting on Vmaxforum. I recently removed the stock handlebars and installed a set of drag bars on my 2000 VMax. I fired it up with no trouble moments before slapping the new bars on, but after they were installed I had no power at all. I thought maybe I left the...

    Low Power

    I was driving my bike one day and out of nowhere smoke comes up from the regulator and the main fuse blows. I removed the old one and replaced it with a new. I am only getting 1.2 volts from the new could the stator be bad even though its getting 30-50 volts ac and 42 ohms out of it. So confused...

    No power after charging. Maybe fuse?

    So I had not taken my max out in a few weeks so I threw on my battery tender over night because I was going to ride the next day. I tried to start it up and nothing. No lights, no fuel pump, no starter, nothing. I checked the main fuse right under the seat and it was still good. I changed it...

    Hi i've been looking thru this site looking at gettin some info on why my friends max is running so poor and have a question, I see some of you run with the boost valve fully open all the time, does this not cause overrichness at lower speeds ? or do you down jet on the pilot circuits to...

    No power to front right coil/wire?!?!

    Can anyone help me to diagnose the cause for no power going to my lead/COP for the front right cylinder? The coil died, and when I switched leads and coils in its place, there was still no spark/power going to that cylinder. Could this be a CDI issue? Wire harness issue? I'm at a loss...

    Clutch slipping after big power boost

    Hi. Recently had Morley muscle kit and a full UFO system on my bike and after it come back from the rolling road the clutch is now slipping. I gained 40+bhp so it's obviously struggling to cope now. Would heavy clutch springs solve the problem?

    more voltage, more power

    hey, I have noticed something really weird and I don't know if it's related to the engine being cool or if it's the battery charge. I would leave the bike connected to an external charger overnight and start it in the morning and after some time when it's warmed up I would run it hard and it...

    What can I check? Cleaned carbs- LOW power. Feels like it's on 3?

    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...

    Power cutting out like before

    Can a switch be influenced by vibration? I lost power after hitting a bump at fast speed..same as before. Seem to loose power slowly, sputters than dies. I think it's the sidestand switch or neutral switch but when tested they seem good. Thinking of replacing anyways. This thing is nuts:bang head:

    LED lights on AC power

    Here's a question for anyone in the know about LED technology. I know that LED lights will work off a AC circuit...when the rectifier on my minibike died, I got a generic AC regulator and the LED tail light worked OK, though at slow engine RPMs it noticeably flickered. Since LEDs are a diode...

    total loss of power at big throttle openings

    My 97 Vmax has just come out of rebuild. Had a lot of trouble with dirt in the carbs, so str4ipped them and used a rebuild kit - now got good smooth tickover, good pickup of power from low revs but.... at anything more than about 1/3 throttle opening the bike dies. Wont pull or accelerate and...
