wet

Hello, I am new here since I got the bike only a week ago (my dream bike!). And I got it for a fairly good price (even though had to drive 9 hours to get it). 1996's model, 143HP V-boost included. (28k miles) Maybe anyone could help me with these issues: 1. Sometimes it starts up...

In typical Todd fashion, I had the bike apart before I left. If was getting new tires, new brakes, and a few fixes on it before I left. My shorai battery took a **** and burnt up on me. Luckily I had the last battery that was in there and was able to put it back in and it was ready to...

Hey guys. My 86 dies whenever it gets wet. Weather I wash it or get caught in the rain. After it sits for a day or two and dries out it will restart. I can't pinpoint exactly what it is. Any thoughts?

Have you ever been tempted to leave your 'mark' on wet concrete? Seems simple enough. But there can be limits. I guess guys with hardhats and the orange const cones aren't enough. Maybe next time they should post some signs?

I've noticed that setting my dry float with the 1.125" gap does not result in a 17mm wet float level. Any reason this would happen other than a bad caliper? I assume I should adjust based on wet float measurements rather than dry?

Went for a ride today on my 02 max and I stopped to grab a bite to eat and when I was done I noticed fluid on my right fork seal. I wiped it down and then road an hour home hitting some major bumps and when I got home I gave it another inspection and there wasn't a drop. Should I look into...

Im not sure where to post this I have a dillema. 1998 vmax 15000 miles was sputtering under load about 2500 to 3000 rpm then seem to clear when opened up so I pulled apart carbs yesterday everything looked good but I still blew through everything. Put It back together and it was running great...

OK...again, I'm about to sell this *****. I had the carbs rebuilt. When I picked the bike up, it died every chance it got until the battery died from excessive restarting about 1/4 mile from the shop and I had to push it back. The mechanic put it up on the rack and started it up. It was...

The link below is a video of cyl 1 & 4 bouncing up and down and the bike is off. I do have to raise the float level on those 2 carbs. Just wondering why they bounce? http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=URf9HlaAnto :ummm:

Quick question can't seem to locate answer figure I'd ask when reading level in tube do you read te bottom most part or the top of the concave line Gonna do this sideways for use of characters 17mm >) Or 17mm )< Turn both those 90? clockwise to understand (<) refers to reading above or below...

Alright. I *might* have a little bit of money left over. Not nearly as much as I wanted, I was planning on getting the rear foot shifters from Morely, or his jet kit. Sadly, money flys when you actually have it and now there is only a little bit left. One thing that I do think is function...

About to do it, wanted to know how long is enough? The sticky isn't specific so do I need 6 to 12 inches (that's what she said)? Any help is appreciated.

2001 vmax how to measure float height.

Pulled the plugs out looks good after sitting for a day the plugs are wet with gas. Bike runs great great rebuilt last year the only thing i didn't replace is the emulshon tubes don't know if i spelt that right , would that cause that my floats are right . Anyone know what they cost.

I've been asked how to do this and notice there isn't a sticky for this in the carbs section. First, here's a link showing where the float bowl drain screws are: http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=1570 The line on the carb body to measure from is on the left side of each carb just...

I adjusted the dry float level last time I opened the carbs, but I would like to check if everything is fine without opening everything again. I saw in a post of NauthyG that was the way to go (here). Can somebody give me the steps ? Maybe a good post I didn't read yet ? Thanks

Ideas?

Johnstown, PA (GlossyNews) – Local and state police scoured the hills outside rural Johnstown, Pennsylvania, after reports of three animal rights activists going missing after attempting to protest the wearing of leather at a large motorcycle gang rally this weekend. Two others, previously...

I set up the dry float levels but many times when I try to check them I get very low readings and have to lower the fuel drain line let some fuel run out and then get a different reading. Not sure why this is. While cleaning a set of old carbs I had an idea. Not sure if it will work but when...

...Why the hell would I do somethin' dumb like that, you ask....well, I'll tell ya! I went to the PO to pick up my new VMax Forum.net 'hoodie' sweatshirt and I love it! I changed my size to 3XL and it is really big, long & loose, just the way I like hoodies to fit. It also gives me a little...
