rpm

Today I was out riding my '05 vmax just turning over 8,000 miles today. After riding about 70 miles, I heard the engine starting to bog down like it the carbs were loading up? All acceleration about 3k RPM was very sluggish and my rpm gauge was going crazy as it revved up while riding. I...

Hi new member here. I'll post in the introduction in min. Just got a prob thats driving me crazy. I got an 86 max with 8000 or so miles. Bike cranks an idles runs fine. Just when you get the bike at higher rpm's it wants to smoke. You can shut it off an sit. Crank back up an no smoking. Got a...

hey guys did a couple hundred miles this weekend and noticed an issue, which i think is carbs. around say 2.3krpms - 3k rpms with low accel to WOT (not at cruise) the bike stumbles a bit. from what i know (which aint much) it almost feels like its going lean. turning the choke on helps, so...

I'm not sure what is wrong with my vmax. I have adjusted the valves, cleaned the carbs, synced the carbs, new plugs and wires. It will idle just fine and runs above 2000RPM perfect. Now driving around town is just horrible because it wants to run so rough and lumpy from 1500-2000 rpm. Once past...

Hello everyone! This is my fourth gen1 vmax. It's a 2005 with 7500 miles on it. I am the second owner of this one. The original owner hadn't ridden it for over a year, but everything on the bike seemed to function perfectly....pull your feet off the pegs when you hammered it! In the last...

I just bought my first Vmax, a 2000 model year. At 60 mph in 5th gear, the tach reads 4000 rpm. Is this standard for this model? That seems a bit high but I understand theses are 'stop light to stop light' bikes. Any input would be helpful, thanks.

I mentioned this in what was more of a story about my ride Sunday. Now I ask here to see if this is normal. Oil level near top marks on the sight glass. Roll on in 4th from about 5,000 RPM. Oil Light comes on and stays on at 8,000-8,500 RPM. I looked at the light, then the RPM and...

I took my V-Max on a road trip with some other folks on bikes - about 500mi. total. Our group was cruising pretty effortlessly at about 95 mph most of the way - everyone but me that is - my V-Max was turning about 6,000 rpm! I was too embarassed to ask everyone if we could slow down because I...

I am having fits w my 95 vmax not wanting to run at low rpm. At first I thought it was the low rpm circuit in the carbs but it was running perfect only a few days ago and I went through the carbs just to make sure. It seams that the front right and rear left cylinder are not firing at low rpm...

Hey guys. 1994 Vmax. UFO 4-2 exhaust - Morley Muscle kit installed. Carbs rebuilt professionally 2 years ago, all diaphrams replaced, Carbs synced. At 2700-3200 rpm i am getting a flat sound. kinda like running out of gas but not near as severe and a little bit of popping, kinda like...

Okay so i removed and cleaned the carbs... put them back on.. sorta synced them... (they are close but not perfect) i need to find a good sync tool the one i borrowed was a bit goofy, so anyways bike runs fine up to 5k... then falls on its face and doesnt really recover... more of a stumble up...

i took my ride for a spin. when i turned my throttle full, at about 8000 rpm the bike FELT like from 4 cylinders, working only 3 (by the noise and from the accelaration) when i slightly turn off my grip evrything works fine. i turned again full throttle again the same thing. different noise in...

I have some ideas but I was wondering what you guys think. Reason being is power. Since HP= Torque x RPM/5252 we can see by making it go faster we can get more power, especially for racing. Our bikes make a lot of torque comparitively so lets say we were to get the RPM up to 12000 and I know...

hi, new to the forum so be patient.this problem is driving me crazy.took off carbs, soaked in degreaser, all passages,jets, openings etc, blew out with compressed air.reassembled and installed. bike started fairly easy. carbs were then synched. bike runs great up to about 6000 rpm, then the...

Video is too cool. From UltimateMotorcycling.com: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSDa-EUT3ZE

Hey Guy's, So what should the RPM at Idle be set at. I dont have a manual. It is for a 2006 with no mods. 2nd question. Anyone else have a front end wobble between around 40 -50 mph when you let off the throttle and lighten your grip I get a wobble. rest of the time no issues. Is this just how...

I wanna try and switch out the gears in my bike to lower my RPM's on the highway but I'm nott 100% sure mine is stock. I was wondering if someone could tell me what kind of RPM's your running in 5th gear say at 50mph, 65, 70 somewhere in there.

Just bought a new Scorpion EXO1000 RPM. This helmet fits well and is quiet. Features include easy-to-change face shield, integrated sunvisor, and an air-pocket system that you can inflate to have the helmet fit more snugly if needed. Blaine

New V-Max owner here. Picked her up last Sunday, a 2007 with 628 miles on the ODO.:eusa_dance: One thing I have noticed is that my V-Boost does not kick in until 7000 RPM. From that point on all seems normal....or at least as normal as things get with the boost engaged Is there some...

Just read a post saying the max needs higher rpm? Mine only has 6,000 on it but driven slow I am sure at low rpm's and the last few hundred I cruise at low rpm's but you guys say better to cruise around 4,000rpm? That correct? Is fine by me just thought I was being nice to it
