New test run

A few weeks back I posted about ongoing issues I'm having with my Vmax. Long story short.... a few had mentioned to contact Sean and get his electrical test kit. I received it today and HOLY CRAP! So much stuff in there! He even sent a full set of carbs... unbelievable! I can't even imagine how...

I had the chance to take a ride in this B-25 bomber that had landed at the Sedona airport. It was amazing to feel the 2 V-12 engines cranking out the power to get us airborne. It was a half hour ride. What an amazing view! I could only imagine what was going thru the minds of the crew on a...

Can the v boost servo motor be tested off the bike to be sure it cycles properly. Mine just feels likes its humming or vibrating when the switch is moved to run. Nothing is moving. :ummm:

Can anyone confirm the proper way to test a starter relay? Yamaha manual states disconnect starter relay, probe blue/white wire coming from the relay - should test 12V. Can anyone with a working relay confirm this? Thanks.
