rich

Anyone put a wideband on this bike stock? The bike smells and I was thinking perhaps that is why the fuel economy is so bad on this bike. What is the a/f cruising around vs wot? Thanks, Sid

what in that case? Air/fuel mixture screw? THANX

Hi all! I'm trying to fix my carbs...and I have a couple of questions... 1- Is supposed to get fuel from needle jet at low rpms? I get some out from 2 of the carbs...the needle is supposed to block complete the jet? could be they are wear and have to change, or maybe float level to high (I...

You know, one day I am going to have a bad ass max. My bike is running way rich, smells like gas real bad when starting up, friend said he could smell it while riding behind me too. Gonna have to get the carb job done after all I think. I am kinda sick of worrying about it all. I just hope I am...

ok i rebuilt my carbs this winter because the bike was really rich. It was a stock 1996 with kerker slip ons after advice from this forum i went with 150 main jets. While I was in the carbs I replaced all the coasting enrichers, 1 slide diagphram and all orings and gaskets. Reset float levels...

Bone stock 2006 and my bike has ALWAYS run rich at idle.....when I pull up to a stop light, the thing stinks like unburnt fuel---I have asked people who ride behind me if they smell anything when we are at speed, and they say no, but who knows if the airflow might be pulling the smell out away...

My dad recently did the stock exhaust mod - we drilled 5 3/8" holes and then spaced it about 1/2" before putting the cover plate back on. I recently received this email: Does this seem likely??

Hey, I live next to the smoky mountains & blue ridge parkway. My MAX runs too rich once up into the higher elevations, even to the point of leaking gas. It has 4 seperate k&n air filters on each carb, a jet kit on it, not sure what size. Holeshot exhaust. Runs fine otherwise.

lads i know this has been asked loads of times before but my 95 max is running rich very rich :bang head: I have a K & N fillter and supertrap slip ons any one know what needle sizes and setting i should be running just to get me some way close

I ran my 96 Vmax with Stg 1 Dyno Jet kit, K&n, Supertrapp 4inch with no pucks. i dynoed 98rwhp and 75 rwtq on a 50degree day. at about 6200rpm when the Vboost kicks in, the graph gets pretty unstable. any insight would be appreciated...

I read Sean talking about running way to rich or way to lean. How can you tell if it is to rich or to lean. I am under the understanding that pulling the plug and look at it. I recently had a stage 1 kit along with HMF exhaust installed and being ignorant of this makes me nervous. I had the...

Hey all, I'm a newby to the group and just got my first VMax - Stock 02. I recently installed a 4-2-1 Kerker and K&N air Filter. I was able to get it up on a dynojet at a local bike rally and the chart showed I was running very fat espically at lower RPM's (3000-5200) and was still at 11...

I am running a stock '05 vmax with a k&n, filter kerker exhaust and a dynojet stage 1 kit with 160 mains . When the bike is at 1/4 throttle it was running way lean as soon as it was cracked to full throttle it was really rich 11.1 a/f ratio. It put down 108hp 73tq . After that I came home and...

Over the weekend my rear right carb went rich as hell on me. I do have spark to that cylinder. No adjustment to the a/f screw has any effect. i.e. 1/4 turn out still rich. The slide is sliding. It idles and revs good, but under a load it starts fouling at about 2500rpms up to 3500...

a few people that ive talked w/ seem to think the vmax runs (stock) on the rich side there for i dont need bigger mains w/ a header system. a good friend of mine who works proffesionally as a mechanic on bikes of all kinds seems to feel that the vmax runs on the lean side. now it seems to me(and...
