runs

Hi Today was our annual icebreaker ride, so this morning I left to the meeting point BUT what the hell? It runs like a wild horse, as if I'd be using the throttle randomly open-close-open-close... Knowing she doesn't like the cold I thought let's continue a little till the motor gets nice and...

Is it worth going up to a stage one? What about a Morely jet kit? I wont be doing any other performance mods after this if that makes a difference. Even though 06 Max did an outstanding job setting up the carbs and stuff I still have that itch for a little more power. Thoughts?

had carbs cleand and sic the bike when up to temp is VERY flat off idle smooth then revs up to 2200-2500 sits there and ---slowly---- comes back down to 1000 its a pain trying to take off i have to hit the gas for it's over 2200 then runs great. only a bitch off DEAD idle. set a/f ?? where do i...

today i was riding and hurd a small click or bang and all of a sudden i thought i missed a gear but nope i never the bike will not move at all there is a small noise coming from the shaft area not loud at all any ideas what this could be ? thanks jamie

Just like the title says... it was hot as hell here today, close to 100 and humidity was high. I changed the oil and washed the bike. after washing her she barely wanted to start. finally some pursuation and she started but she keeps surging to like 1500 then back down to 500 rpms at idle...

Hi, I`ve been busy setting up my Vmax. After syncing the carbs, it was time for the pilot screws. I set them at a preset value of 2.5 turns out and started the bike and drove it around until it was warm. Then I started to find the setting at which the engine runs the highest RPM at idle, which...

Ok, if it rains and the bike is out side (like at work) or even a heavy dew over night, bike runs like crap and the tach doesn't work right, and i have to keep the rpm's up above 3500 or it sounds like it;s going to bog out. Don't even begin to know where to start looking, any ideas? Once a few...

2005 Vmax 19,000mi UFO VGAS and Exhaust, Dyna 3000 Ign. My bike ws running fine, and then after a short ride in the rain. I parked her in the garage overnight. Got on her the next day and she stalled three times at some red lights. It would give me a problem starting, but then would fire up...

What should I look for for problems. It seems to not get enough gas when its not on reserve. I always thought I had a lean condition due to a off throttle pop. How I found what the problem was I was riding it around and thought that I was running out of gas hit reserve and right away the bike...

Hey, > I've got an '85 Max with a stock airbox, K&N filter, Supertrapp slip-ons, and a Dynojet Stage 1 kit. > My problems started (I believe) as a result of putting too much carb cleaner in my gas tank (not intentional - long story). After that it started running terrible, but after a bit, I...

My Max seems to go sweet but when on 1st start up with choke it runs rough , what to do next ?:ummm:

I just rebuilt my carbs and set my float levels at 1.115" (Morley's advice) and sprayed carb cleaner in EVERY hole to make sure I had zero blockage. She starts up and runs decent with the choke on, but as soon as I take the choke off, she dies. I have tried many adjustments on the air fuel...

As most of you know I take the VMAX to my local dragstrip in the spring and in the fall due to the track temps are cooler along with air temps are better. I wanted to post some of my ET's when a VMAX isnt running properly. If you dont have a dyno shop close but you have a dragstrip its just as...

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.

This just started to happen. After I wash my bike it runs like crap and sometimes won't even start until things dry out. I don't over spray it, just a gentle rinse and I try to keep the water spray to a minimum. The last time I road in some pretty heavy rain it started to die too. Won't...

G?day fellow maxers (first post), The other day my fuel pump started making the priming sound after kicking over the engine. You know the sucking sound the fuel pump makes when you turn the ignition? Well that ticking noise normally stops when you hit the starter and now the bloody thing sounds...

I was cruising down a road and stopped for a light. Bike was idling fine but when I took off it started stumbling and wouldn't rev up very high. I made it home but now it won't even rev up to 4k parked. I tried the fuel filter, no luck. Do you think it'w the fuel pump or something worse? The...

Well, I got it to start today. I had the airbox off, and ran it 3 times, each for about 30 seconds. It is not spilling fuel out of the vents, but it does occasionally blow back a mist out of the main air jet bleed on occasion on that trouble carb. It seemed to do it on the left front carb a...

When I got the bike a few months ago, it had the stage 7 kit in the carbs, the 4-1 Hindle Header, and Kerker Muffler. I read and was told on here to hook the v-boost up and it would run a lot better. I found the v-boost had been un-plugged so I plugged it in. The bike was a little sluggish...
