running

Hello, Newbie here needing help with my choke. I rode the bike today for a few miles after initial warm up and stopped to pump gas. It started fine with no choke then I pushed the choke on it turned off...:ummm: It seemed odd so I tried again and ditto pushing the choke on (down) shut it...

When I started my 2005 vmax the other day the choke went down hard, seemed odd. Well when it started up it was not running well at all. Took the choke of and started driving and it is running like awful. Smells like it is flooded. Do you think it is possible that the choke can be sticking or...

Scrubbing the pegs so i am looking at Wr,s rear sets which i like cause they have 5 settings i seen Exectrep sales them to but dont like the looks of them and they dont look like they any settings. So who out here is running rear sets and what brand did you go with?

So the left side 2 carbs were totally clogged with crud and the right two were like newer or something as they appeared way nicer and required less cleaning. Here is a picture after I synches my carbs up: Now I have a few oil leaks to fix, a radiator flush or 2 and she should be ready for...

Just did the double D clutch upgrade. I left the half clutch in the back so I'd have some slipping not to break any parts. But it won't go into Nuetral when the bike is running. When the bike is off it goes into N without an issue. Had it apart to check 3 times now and I can't figure it out for...

Took this short video today, please excuse the dirty wheels....it's dry as a popcorn fart here and we live on a dirt road. :biglaugh: Had the Nelson Rigg tank bag from my Can Am Spyder.....it holds a box of ice cream, what more could I ask? :confused2: If the video stutters on playback...

Hello all, since I bought my 93 Vmax I noticed that one of the red reserve light shows up at around 60-65 miles after full tank, no problem on the sensor because its really takes 10 litters to fill. Now that I got reed of my other problems in the bike, this is the last one remaining (at the...

Hi The problem started at the end of last year , was forced to park it early. so here it is , Its 1993 and the bike seems to run fine then cuts out or sputters as if running on 2 cylinders then cuts back in running fine then back to running rough . It goes from being fine to...

Hi guys, My Max starts and runs every time, but sometimes the right rear cylinder is not firing. It's funny (haha) that it runs so well that I had trouble being sure if it was running on all 4 or not. I now know the bike well enough that I can recognize it immediately. The strange thing is that...

Riding the 89 max to work & she shuts off. Just filled up so i know i have plenty of fuel. Turn the key off then back on & i hear the fuel pump clicking like mad for 5-10 seconds. Normally i hear it for about 1 sec when i turn the key on. Pull the pump & it is pretty rough(original 89 pump). I...

Hey all, I am in need of a new rear rotor but was thinking to just bite the bullet and replace all 3 at the same time just to keep them all at the same wear level. How many of you run the China/ Hong Kong rotors like these...

I've only ridden my 1999 V-Max only a few times since purchasing it recently. When I shut it down, I notice a strong fuel smell. Fuel is running out of a couple of my 4 exhaust pipes. The good thing is I can identify which carbs are the problem. There is no fuel leaking from any other area...

Click on either BRC Banner (the one in the banner rotation at the top of the page or the one with the other sponsor banners at the very bottom of the page) will take you to the BRC Shop flyer where there is info and pricing regarding carb cleaning & rebuilding.

Hi I just purchased a 98 vmax and the only way it will idle is with the choke a little on. The previous owner had the carbs rebuilt over the winter. I don't think has rode it but once since. How do i adjust the idle (pic please) and is there anything I can do to help it idle better. Once it gets...

Bike runs rough at steady throttle. Seems bad at any steady speed almost like it's missing or cutting out.. Just had bike at shop for this problem they dyno'd it and jetted it and did carb sync. Told me to come get it but still same issue... Any ideas? Morleys jet kit Kerker pipe V boost...

Man few days ago I was out acting nuts with zx14 witch I had fun with the guy at a stand still waiting for a green light. Man any way got run down a pd blue and white he hit the light on a side street. I waiting for him to catch up. This hole or deal cost me $950.00 after everything was said and...

Rode my 85 vmax two or three weeks ago ran fine, was going to take it out the other day now it"s only running on two cylinders, the two cylinders on the right side are the ones that are not firing, it has spark, so I don't know if it's in carburetion or what it is. Thanks for any help!!!

Hi all! Question about the motion pro carb sync tool. I'm using the # 08-0411. I was trying to sync them today, got the bike warmed up attached the tool, but the fluid damn near goes to the top of all the meters. In some of the vids I've checked the meters only seems to be going about 3/4 up...
