sound

It was raining over the weekend so kept the mistress in the garage but took it out yesterday and oh my! When I start the bike there is an extra note in the exhaust. No loud backfire, but just an additional higher pitched "farting" that does not sound attractive at all. It almost sounds like I...

Im sure this is a frequently asked question and if it is, im sorry i couldnt find it. I did search with no results. Anyway. I turned the key on today and heard a clicking sound. Clicked about 5 times, pqused for about 15 seconds and repeats. Even when the bike is running it does this. Ive only...

I'm not really familiar with how flat side carbs are meant to sound, so I'm not sure if the sound my bike is making is normal. The carbs "tap" when idling (which is normal) but seem to make a bit of the same tapping noise except louder at a particular rev range (around 3k). Is this normal?

Once I get over 50mph I can't hear anything but the wind...want to louden it up a bit, but not too much and for very little coin... Your thoughts are appreciated...

I have a 1985 project vmax. While riding it has started making an odd popping sound from I believe under/inside the air cleaner box. Mainly at cruising speed, about 4000-5000 rpm. Under acceleration it does not usually happen. I have synced the carbs to the best of my ability, and changed the...

Ok newbie to the Vmax here need some help . My bike is an 05. The other day I had to take a friend home and rode 2up. I started to hear some weird sound like the shocks were hitting/ bottoming . Every time there was a small dip in the road I heard this grunt like rubbing sound like the tire was...

I found a stock exhaust to replace my dented stock exhaust but it has been modified. Owner says.. " by using and a 12" extenion and a 1" hole saw and sliped it up the exhaust outlet hole about 10" until he hit the deflector plate and i drilled a hole in it. The exhaust sounds just like the...

I am new to the Zmax, only had it home a few days now. My question today is this: Should I hear any sound after I turn on the key and before I push the start button? I do hear a sound and it sounds like a solenoid or a gas pump, it only last for about 2 seconds. Is this normal? Thanks for...

Hey everyone, the new guy here. Just wanted to post my favorite sound clip - obviously a V-max (ok, it's tied with a WWII vintage 18 cylinder radial). Crank this up on a good set of speakers (read: bass heavy) and tonal nirvana awaits you! http://youtu.be/6fPYFh5kpus That sound is just near...

Hello everyone. I just got my first Vmax, a 96. Have always wanted one and I love it. However, I have a question, occasionally I get a click or slight click/pop sound from the engine left side. This only happens a few times on a 10 min ride around the neighbor hood and I am just putting...

Hi all, I'm proud to say that I'm a new Vmax owner:eusa_dance: But I have 1 question: I love the sound of a Harley bike... My Vmax is the 2003 Carbon version with standard exhausts. If you want an idea how the bike must sound, follow this link...

Another quick question guys. When I push on my handle bars and compress the forks by holding the front brakes I hear a faint thud or clunk. Is in normal to hear that sound. Don't think it is the forks or the steering bearings. Pretty sure the faint sound is coming from the front brakes. I...

what do the carbs look like when they r actually working? i had the air-box off the other day 2 clean the bike properly, and started the bike up 2 look thing over and looking into the carbs from the top they werent moving much (on idol) even when i turned the accelerator they didnt do much, i...

At almost no throttle,and i mean just barely twisting it,i get popping sounds from my air box,i know its comming from the carbs,but what could be the cause of this,the bike just had new stainless factory jets put in it by a Yamaha dealership(which in my experience) means nothing,any ideas on a...

Has anyone here ever had to go around fireblocks in a wall to run wires? I'm planning to run all my wiring for the surround sound system in the living room and the TV is on an exterior wall and I really don't want to have to cut the wall open to do this. Can I run the wires up through the wall...

nothing new in la la land

This is my first post on the forum. I just bought an 06 stock vmax. I wanted to do supertrapp slip-ons but i was concerned about the noise. I like a good tone but I don't want it any louder. :confused2: I know.. .I am crazy. My question is will the supertrapp slip-ons be close to stock...

Ok so I have this weird PINGING sound coming from the rear left of my engine when the bike is first started and warming up.Once its warm no problem-it goes away. Our other Max(before selling it) had the same sound when warming. It sounds like a lose exhaust heat shield or somthing.When I...
