question

I don't want to hi-jack Rempage's thread anymore than I already did....but I will steal his diagram....:biglaugh: I had a leak a few hundred miles ago and replaced oil seal #25....the leak stopped for a little while but returned a few days ago so I pulled it apart again and replaced oil seal #33...

My bike is rich at anything less than 3k or so at wot. That's with stage 7 needles. It doesn't do it with stock needles, but I can't adjust them properly. Wouldn't drilling the slides actually make it pull the needle slower in a wot situation? It seems like it would require more vacuum, which...

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone is running stock Main Jets with the setup as stated in the manual. Carb 1 and 3 Mukini 152.5, Carb 2 and 4 Mukini 150.0 I've been looking at the threads and it seems like people are running the same Jets on all 4 carbs. I have F.P. Needles shimmed to center...

I came from an r1 and want to yo back to a rear set and clip ons but I want to raise the front and the rear atleast an inch. Is there a way on the front?...I just want it to...

I have a question: My 03 Vmax came without scoops. I purchased the scoops used and order new screens and panels. I was surprised to see that the right panel is solid (no air flow in) while the left pane is not (air can flow in). Does that make sense?

Hi everyone: This question is regarding my other ride, a 1994 Honda CB1000 I've been "updating" for the last few months. I'm pursuing putting individual air filters on the inline-4 carbs (because the stock airbox is effin' HUGE), and I'm wondering if there are any aftermarket options for...

I pulled my airbox off earlier today, and every time I'd throttle it up any, the slides were jumping instead of pulling up and being steady. Is this a sign of a problem, or is that from it not being under a load?

Any one know whether these bikes have a capacitive discharge or inductive discharge ignition system? I'm about to hook up a wideband datalogger, and if its capacitive, I ruin my 800 wideband.

This may have been covered, but does anyone have detailed photos of what Jet goes where? There are 3 jets that the threads and diameters are identical but they have different diameter openings. I got a used 91 and when I opened two carbs 3 and 4, it looks like different jets are seated in the...

Hi, I'm gonna get some saddlebags/panniers for touring now and i was wondering if the rear seat easily lifts. Seems like some saddlebags requier adapter plates under the rear seat to fit. I was thinking if something like this would go well with the vmax...

Hi Folks. New here. Just bought a 1998 V-Max with 18K miles. The bike runs and rides great, but I keep waiting for the VBoost to kick in and it never does. The bike has an aftermarket Kerker 4-1 pipe, and I'm wondering if it's likely a previous owner tinkered with the VBoost system, as well...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c945YwT8F-U&feature=youtube_gdata_player This was sent to my YouTube account, uploader had asked me a question on one of my vids and I wasn't able to reply so I just posted my answer as a comment on this vid. But his carb question on this vid is still...

I haven't started on it yet, so it may be obvious when I get into it, but what's this?

Was wondering for those of you in certain Career jobs who would need to use a Good Quality Flashlight , what do you recommend ?? it needs too be Super Bright with no more then 20 ft of range needed no longer then 12" to fit in my work case . I looked at one online then seen the $600.00 price tag...

When you powder coat is it possible to shade from one color to another. Like have a piece all one color...and then have black across the bottom?

I have a set of adj levers from wxtracing on eBay for Gen 1 Maxes. They are now almost twice as expensive as when I bought them. Does any other vendor sell them? I have a friend wanting them but would like to spend less then $80.

Once every couples of tries when starting (especially when hot) I do seem to be getting the bag of rocks sound coming from the starter clutch. Should you NEVER get this sound when trying to start or is it time to look into the starter clutch?

this probably sounds stupid but I have been reading ton on here and cant seem to find the answer. which wire goes to which terminal on the cop? got a set of denso cop off a 2006 gsxxr and bought brand new connectors for them. planning on not installing resistors on them because from what I...

I started the crimp fix yesterday, but couldn't continue due to propane problems. I got as far as applying the flux when I realized I wasn't going to finish. So I tried the only thing I could think of, I applied heat to the tip of a screwdriver with a lighter. Futile I know, but I had to try...
