rpm

Morleys jet kit with k&n lid, full kerker exhaust. What would cause the engine to rev to 4000-5000 rpm and stay there for a few seconds? Im sure its not the throttle cable because it does it using the choke too. Carbs have been gone through and only bench synced for now. I did find a couple...

Max is running extremely rich when idling but leans out around normal running/riding RPM 3000 - 7000 RPM. Any suggested fixes? Thanks, Darren

Hoping someone has some suggestions. Not sure on the jetting but believe it is stock since everything else is on the bike. I did the pea shooter on the carbs, sync'd them, checked the coils, and adjusted A/F to numerous settings and still have an annoying exhaust pop out of the right side pipe...

Well, the replacement fuel lines seemed to cure the occasional carb leaking on my '85. Been at least 1000 miles with no problems. Bike starts instantly, and runs strong. Yesterday we were out for a ride, and were on a long stretch of divided highway. Cruising between 70-80 mph. At this...

Where do you guys normally set your Idle RPM?

http://www.digital-speedos.co.uk/setting-up-rpm-guide-289-p.asp The link above describes how to install the RPM gauge. To my knowledge I have all my wires set up correctly. Can someone explain what exactly "HT Lead" means? I have been told I need to wrap the wire around the coil wire. So...

I have this problem which I needs all of Vmaxers' advise.. 1) starts engine. Engine is running well at approx 1k rpm..warming up well too.. 2) ride off slow in multi-storey car park.. Ride at approx 10-15km/hr... Bike starts to cough and jerk. Clutch in, engine stop. Restart again.. Engine...

Hi guys- A few questions.. Got Jon's 4-2 SlashCuts and what I think is a decent tune. Four Jets have been added and many (23) Dyno runs have put a HUGE grin on my face. I turn heads and even win over guys who hate loud Pipes. When I'm on the Highway however, she f---ken screams like a...

So, I've only had my 2006 V-Max for about 3 weeks now. I've only put a couple hundred miles on it. Being a used bike, I obviously don't know it's history, but it appears stock. While riding along the other evening I decided to pass a car doing about 50MPH, I down shifted into 2nd to just...

Im getting an engine rattle/grind when accelerating through approx the 3200-3600 rpm range Any ideas? Seems to get worse when warmed up. The noise occurs in at least the first 3 gears. 2001 vmax, stock. 20k Miles. Sometimes sounds like gravel in the exhaust pipe.... Just trying to be...

Hello All, So I have been riding into work alot lately and I noticed something strange on the highway with my 1994. When I roll into the boost real slowly, I can see / feel / hear the RPM's jump up when the boost kicks in around the 6K mark, but then at around 7500 RPM it acts like an automic...

Anyone know.

I've notice strange behaviour with my VMAX. when accelerating hard RPM's rev up to 6000 and can feel the VBOOST kicking in then around 7000 there is some hesitation , RPM's drop around 6500 and it's very slow to climb pack up. wondeing what the most probable cause would be , Synd, floats or the...

Stage 1 needles, 170 mains, has air correctors, {I think, see pic down below} K&N pods, 4 into 1, needles currently on 5th from dull end, I've tried 3,4,and now 5th clip down, 4th seems best but why can't I get rid of that cursed stumble at 5k ? I'm stressing.

Talking PCW 1327 bored to 1411 w/ higher compression in my '95 chain-drive V-Max. At 60 mph it runs at 3k and 65 3,250. Looking at the tach accuracy, does that sound right to you guys? I'd really hate to visit the monkey for some LCD mods.....not.

OK, I finally got the Max running again and he does sound much stronger and powerful than it ever did however I am facing an odd issue that I cannot quite tell what could it be caused by: After the bike warms up, it idles and runs really well but sometimes, the RPM will hover around 2K-3K range...

Hey guys I am new here and this is my second vmax now, I have been reading on here for a few years now and found multiple fixes but now I am stumped. The other day I left my new to me 1990 vmax outside for the night after riding it for a few weeks without a problem, then it rained. Now when...

but if i open the boost manually by 1/3 the popping is gone.... it's popping if i cruise in this rpm range and on deceleration.....wot works fine The setup: Main DJ 160 PAJ2 DJ 150 Stock springs Stock needles shimmed 0.80 mm K&N + some drilled holes on the Y piece DAM slip on's Mixture screws...

I have a question for those of you more experienced with carb tuning. Here is my problem. (02 V, individual air filters, some sort of jet kit, open supertrapps, clutch currently slipping) My bike has the v-boost selector that can be switched between 3k and 6k. In the 6k (stock) position while...

Hello Guys, Kind of silly question - But still I'm curious to know what is the best RPM to ride the Vmax for keeping the engine in good shape. What is considered "hard" for the engine and will make its life shorter? I usually ride at 6000-7000 RPM... Thanks! Adi
