tuning

I got my HID kit from DDM Tuning installed today but I have some issues. First I just wanted to confirm that they sent me the right kit in the first place. The bulb fits in the housing fine, no issues there. But the section of the wiring harness that has the relay attached to it has a long and...

Okay... where to begin... umm lets see almost a year ago i bought my vmax and had it about 3 weeks when i decided to paint and clean and fix it up a bit, new bearings, brakes......ect ect ect i also pulled the carburetors to clean them since it had been sitting a while and ever since then... it...

Well, with the help of a GREAT GUY (Maleko89):worthy: for getting me the jets I needed I now have a MUCH BETTER running bike! I have always had a pretty paltry running '94 (Cali version) and I was tired of the transitional stumble from idle to part throttle and the overall inability to adjust...

Symptoms - Top speed peters out around 115. Fuel economy around 25mpg (GPS confirmed) Faint smell of gas detectable up to 6ft away, and the right exhaust smells a little richer than the left. No puddles anywhere, though. Details - 1993 VMax I bought last August in Daytona, FL. Has some...

Good evening. This is my first post, but I've been hanging around awhile taking in a lot of great info. My question is... Does anyone know of someone with a reputation for being a Vmax tuning guru here in Texas? I live in east Texas, but getting my bike to Dallas or Houston would not be a...

OK, so heres the run down. I got my swing arm and pumpkin back yesterday, put the bike back together and took it for a spin; minus my body work I'm still waiting on. I have a data logging Wideband Commander a/f setup and took it out on some straight back roads and ran it through it's paces...

Hey guys, just wanna make sure i have everything set to make an order, one last time so im sure!! 03 vmax with a 4-2 holeshot exhaust, in upstate NY. Current setup is all stock with the carbs with just the exhaust. When i first put the exhaust on i put the 155 main in with a shim under the...

After speaking with Steve of Brock's Performance, I am slated to receive the one of the first few Gen II V-Max full exhaust systems next week! I will be tuning an ECU file shortly there after. Tim Nash GuruedGear.com

Fuel mileage is a pretty common subject on the site here and it seems that 40mpg is the benchmark to hit. I did achieve that on one ride last year, but that was with a totally different setup. This year I got 38mpg once while riding VERY conservatively but most of the time I only get 30mpg and...

is there anyone in the metro denver area who might have a carb synch tool (carb tune or other) that i might borrow or who might be able to lend a hand?

Okay, I have thoroughly gone through the "I drilled out my OEM exhaust" threads. I have done it myself, and like it a lot. What I would like to do here in this thread is to find out at what point in time does someone need to turn to their carbs after modifying the stock exhaust. Basically, I...

one month ago i picked my bike after some engine mods. 1300cc carillo rods je pistons , barnet clutch e.t.c. my mechanic drilled my jet's (not changed) so more fuel was coming in tmy carbs. with my K /N filter over 7500 rpm my bike tacho feel like stucked....... i could understand that there was...

does anyone have a vmax or have synced the carbs on a vmax with the vboost completely removed? previous owner took it off and i don't have it. it is a stock engine with full kerker and stage 7 with seperate k&n filters. thanks, mark:bang head:

I have a 2006 vmax, completely stock. I live in Edmonton, Alberta where the elevation is just under 2200ft. My bike runs well, but I can tell it is running rich and the exhaust is almost toxic as a result. I'd like to lean the bike out to get more power while keeping the bike running nicely -...

I drilled the stock pipes and like the sound that came out. Unfortunately everything I read about this causing the bike to run rich occured and now it runs poorly and will stall if I idle around town to much. I can smell the rich exhaust when at idle. I know that I can adjust the A/F...

Hi everybody, I recently moved to Leadville, Colorado, where the altitude is 10,200 feet, from Michigan, near sea level, standard carb tuning. My Vmax is a 1999, with Dale Walker, "Holeshot" exhaust, and his stage one jet kit. Spring is FINALLY, getting here, and I need to tune it for the...

Hey all. looking at getting an exhaust and jet kit and will probably attempt to do it all myself but may want a spot with a dyno to dial it in perfect. I have three places i'll probably be calling (and maybe a 4th, but its a hike) and wanted to know if anyone has heard of them. Harry's...

Hello I guess now, after months of changes, plans & work I can show you what i did to my max : I was dissatisfied with OEM rims & tires to the bike, there's no radial tires for 15" rear rim so I finally decide to turn to 17" wheels . So be it but I want radial brakes as well, USD fork and so on...

I found this info in one of Mark's old posts. Great stuff here. I was curious though....Somewhere, I can't remember where, I saw a whole page of info, very similar to this, dedicated to carb tuning that explained how to test the main, needle, pilots, what rpms do what, when they overlap, and...

6 disks stock jetting. Putting 147 5s in (per sean and this forum) do i need to make needle or a/f changes?
