pressure

Take a look at this picture I just snapped of the top of my oil pressure gauge. There's a small rubber plug on top that has a pin hole crack in it and I've noticed twice now a clear oil like liquid puddling on top of the gauge. I guess its pretty obvious that its leaking the fluid that fills the...

Ok, guys. I am not the worlds greatest mechanic but i'm learning. Here's my problem. It started with my bike sitting for about 6 months without running. it's a 2005 max. When i turned it, it started pretty easily with about 2-3 cranks. However, when i started riding it had little to no power...

Hey folks: I installed a baffle within the UFO exhaust can I have (I have one of the wicked loud 4-1 systems) and the bike runs pokey as hell. What is happening to the whole running system when too much exhaust back pressure is applied? Thanks very much. Elimax

'97 Max, not new to the "o"ring problem. Pushed out in the past, now updated with the late model elbow, but, oil press. always low so I pulled it apart last night to check again, o-ring looked good, now what?? Oil press. is at zero at idle until about1600-1700 rpm's, then about 10 - 12 psi...

sometimes the fuel will stop going to the fuel pump. ill break down, take off the seat, and unplug the tube between the filter and pump, and ill hear a lot of pressure release and the fuel draining back into the tank. -then it runs fine until the next ride. what can be done about this pain...

I bought a 1.5" oil pressure gauge with the intent of mounting it on the handlebars. I thought there would be no problem getting a "pod" or other type of mounting hardware to make a clean install. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any type of mount for the handlebars that does not look...

today was the first time i got to really ride since winter and i noticed the oil pressure changes. like at idle its around 20 psi ( bike was warmed up ) , normal cruzing its about 40-50 psi but if i tack it up in the r's then i get the 75-80 psi or when i first start it up when cold with choke...

Just wondering how hard it was to add washers an or spacers to the oil relief valve spring so that it will let oil pressure go higher. I know that I have to drop the pan from there how hard is it to get to that spring? and how thick of washer and or spacer can i go before it gets problemmatic...

I have an oil pressure gauge and I am wanting to install it on my max now the 10mm hex that is by the oil level is the one i have seen used for the pressure now is that just drilled and tapped or if another fitting will screw right in there with no problem also would some tubing for house use...

I have a 1.5" oil pressure gauge that I want to mount to the handlebars. Can't find any mounting hardware. Does anyone know of a source for mounts that can be used to mount the gauge to the handlebars? Would like a nice looking set-up, not the "double hose clamp" method. Have found plenty of the...

Does anyone know the oil pressure of the vmax at idle, my looks really low until i rev the motor, thanks for any info

I was leaving work on Friday getting in on to HWY on the nice long ramp and I noticed few 18wheelers, so I try to get in front of them and just give'r. In no time I'm in front of them having around 160kmh (100mph) as I'm going over the road crack she starts to wiggle like my dog when is happy...

I just installed one of the oil pressure guages that connects to the threaded opening in the crankcase by the oil level window and was wondering what a normal reading is. it's a stock 2000 motor and I was surprised to see the reading vary so much with the engine rpm. I don't remember ever...

Wondering what you guys are doing about the extra pressure from the crankcase. Are you using stock breather or STG 7 set up or how are you managing excessive oil from blowing out the breather?

Got my new 07 and went to check the PSI in the forks and they were empty. Guess they forgot to fillem or maybe they don't need to be filled? What should they be filled at?

Ok, I have a '07 MAX completely stock. The problem I am having is this: When leaving a stop, and after turning right OR left, my oil light comes on when I get to 5k in third gear and stays on until I back off the gas. After it goes out, I can gas it hard without it coming on. Taking off...

Hi, I have an '07, changed the oil for the first time around 600miles with a compatible replacement filter, and Rotel oil, everything was fine for 1800miles, then changed to Royal Purple bike synthetic, now, after warmup, oil light turns on around/above 6K rpms. I changed back to Rotel to see...

i was wondering what you normally run for tire pressure in a stock rim and tire set up. both front and rear!! also do you change pressures later in the year as the weather warm up or just run the same all the time.

Ok While letting my bike warm up today, it started to act as if it was out of gas sputtering. The trip odometer was only on 49 miles, so I decided to look inside the tank (sunny outside) When I removed the gas cap pressure release for about 3 seconds. Whats the deal why isnt my tank releasing...

Bought and installed the Cycleoneoff oil pressure gaurge that attaches to the water pump housing. Love it. Works perfect. Hard to read when doing 120mph :) Maybe should have nought the handle mounted version. Would buy it and install it all over again though.
